(Note: sorry for only have a sentence of this originally posted. On my end, it looked like the entire post was up, but apparently it was not!)
These students are doing so well! We have gone over a little more than half of the script, and they are picking everything up very quickly.
Your students should continue practicing at home. Next week, they should come with pages 1-6 memorized.
Some tips for memorization
Thank you to everyone for providing measurements! We'll be able to start incorporating props and costumes in the next couple weeks. The sooner you don't need your script, the sooner you'll be able to use all of your props.
I look forward to next week!!

Some tips for memorization
- Practice out loud
- Have someone read your cue lines (the lines right before yours) so you know when to speak
- Make entrances and exits part of your memorization
- Know what you're saying -- this includes not only the words you speak, but what your character means, how he/she says the lines, and why he/she is saying it (we'll explore this more next week)
- When practicing, enunciate clearly. Practice it how you will perform it
- Practice, practice, practice -- there really is not substitute for repetition!
