1. Do I have do work in a group? – No, you can work on your own.
2. If I work independently, do I have to do all the parts? – No, pick one.
3. Do we perform the play? – No, you pretend like you will perform the play and discuss your role in making a play.
4. Do I submit a PowerPoint? – No, you have to present a narrated presentation. This can be a video, PowerPoint with recorded audio, or any other digital tool you want. I have to hear you speak. I suggest loading it on youtube or Google Drive and sharing the link rather than trying to upload the entire video or presentation. Make sure the link is public.
Guidelines for Final Project
Group Play:
Your group will work together to plan the production of a play. The play you choose is up to
you, but it should be one that we have not talked about in class. This will represent the
accumulation of everything you have learned in the class.
The group chooses a play or movie they want to make into a play.
The group must submit one copy of the script with the assignment. A link to the script is
fine.
The group will turn in one presentation in which they present their play.
The members of the group are encouraged to assume roles as outlined by the text in which
they play the part of someone involved in putting on the play. The presentation will present
a role for each person in the group.
Choose your role from the list below.
Choose a local stage that you would perform the play in. Feel free to email me to visit the
Duncan Theater.
The presentation can take the form of narrated presentation. You may choose to either
create a narrated powerpoints or film small videos uploaded to www.youtube.com by each
member of the group and put together in a channel. Your presentation should take between
3 – 5 minutes per person in the group, and must include visual displays in the form of props
or pictures.
1. Actor:
Pick a character from the play. In character, relate to the audience who your character is.
Character background
What has his or her life been like up to this point?
Where is he or she from?
Where does he or she live now?
What does he or she do for a living? (Explain if character is in school, or does not have a
job.)

Each design must include fabric swatches attached to the side.
Costumes must be drawn on a complete body, including a head with hair.
Each design should include the name of the play or movie and the name of the character.
Designs should be neat, clean and professional looking as possible.
You can show the designs and narrate over the designs.
The designer should explain how they have expressed the individual personalities of the
characters in combination with the overall design concept in each of their costume designs.

Designs should be neat, clean and professional looking as possible.

various scenic elements in the design.
Use a ruler and other line guide tools like a compass to achieve straight, smooth lines.
You can show the designs and narrate over the designs.
