On Being the Boss at a Theater Camp
Holy poo.
I'm going to be the boss at the CHS Theater Camp.
Not sure if I can handle that...Ha! Just kidding. I'll be fine.
However, my procrastination gene (I'm pretty sure it's a gene at least) has taken over and I don't feel like working on any of the stuff I need to do before next Monday. Poop.
Luckily, I know the show...CUZ I WAS IN IT. It's Fantastic Mr. Fox and Timmy and I were in it when we were wee little eighth graders. Tim and Tomas are helping me with it. But I am still the boss...Mwahahahahahahahah!
Alright, enough of that. I need to figure out how the hell to organize 17 first through fourth graders in the form of something that resembles a show with a beginning middle and end...Oh, and a plot would be good too...in the course of a week. Crap. Poo. Excrement.
Ok...so, Step One...or rather Day One.
Kids arrive...we should play a game. A get to know you game. Yes.
Then, auditions. I need them all to read something...hmm. Mr./Mrs. Fox dialogue? Yes...NO, even better - two small fox dialogues. Win. I am awesome.
Ok, so we have Auditions down...then I have to cast it. Perhaps we should play another game...no. I should cast it right away and give them their scripts.
Then we work on staging? Sure. Right yes. Staging and learning stage directions, you know? US, DS, SL, SR, C, etc., etc.? Awesome.
Then...uh...they go home? I'll throw in snack time somewhere too.
Day Two!!!!
Arrival and warm up game. Tim can lead this. Then we get to work. Finish staging and then play some memorization games. We will run the different scenes a few times to solidify it.
Snack time somewhere. Memorization will be the big deal for today. And remembering blocking. Kewl.
Day Three...already?!
Arrival and warm up game...Run the show? No. We will work on just running the lines all the way through. Sweet. Off book by the second half of the day so we can run the show. There. I win...again.
Day Four (SWEET):
Arrival and warm up game. Again. We will run the show and make sure everyone is on the SAME page. We will be AWESOME by the time Friday rolls around. Heck yes we will. Then we will play some games and do it one more time...with "costumes..." lol
Day Five:
PERFORMANCE TODAY! Work some stuff, run the logistics and all that jazz. Life will be good.
I think I got it! I am so cool. I am the boss, yo! (BTW, I'm also ghetto...you should have known that by now though. Clearly I am anything BUT white...durr)
I'm excited, but I should probably re-type the whole script. Poo. Looks like that's what I'm going to do now.
Laters :P
