MIDSUMMER meeting

Hello everyone.
The first Summer meeting for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" will be this SATURDAY, JULY 18 at 2:00p. We're going to talk about de-coding the text, approaching character, and everybody will get the official script! I know that some of you can't make it, so there will be another meeting in early August.

And if you're not yet a member of the Facebook Group "CCES DRAMA 90-10", become one now!

Please read "Midsummer" at least once before the meeting. Be familiar with the story and your part in the story.

In addition to that you can check out the many film adaptations, many of which can be found on You Tube. Beware: some of the You Tube findings are truly horrible. Do some research on the show now while you have a little bit of time to spare.

and you have to read THIS - plus the Man-Beast article at the bottom of the page is quite funny.

CHICAGO

Our 2nd annual Drama Trip was to the windy city. 13 students and 5 adults went to Chicago to see ART at Steppenwolf Theatre, MACBETH at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, and BLUE MAN GROUP. There was also a tour of the amazing CHICAGO THEATER. We're taking suggestions for next year, but I'm leaning towards DC.

FORTINBRAS CAST

First of all, thank you to all who showed up at the Audition - all read well. Like I've said before, this play could be cast 3 or 4 different ways and it would be a great show. This particular order has been shaped by the following factors: 1) schedules & conflicts 2) the audition 3) casting according to (or against) type. Keep in mind also that this script is a work in progress and that lines will be cut or added as needed. Several of these roles are double cast, so wherever you see 2 names for 1 role, that means 2 performances for each actor (except the Maidens.) Please come by the Drama Room to get scripts and rehearsal schedules.
Please note that we're trying to have a first reading of the play on Friday right after school in the Drama Room. Let me know ASAP if you can't be there.
