Musical/Comedy Class

Instructor: Ms. Shalico Sain

Phone: (949) 831-3143

Room: 1003

Welcome to Musical/Comedy class. This class will be a multi-faceted classed that will serve many functions. The focus of this will be play production. If you are cast in Urinetown, your course-work will consist of your work both in & out of rehearsals and memorizing your lines. If not cast in the show you will take on a backstage/crew position. Your coursework will consist of your completion of production work and attendance at weekly production meetings. Following the close of the show, this class will be responsible for striking the set.

After Urinetown, we will begin meet as needed to prepare for the MACY's & Cappies. Students will again assume roles as backstage crew or cast members, helping to plan and publicize the production.

Our class meetings will follow your rehearsal scheule. During production work, we will develop a group work schedule that satisfies at least 200 minutes (3 hrs & 20 min.) of instructional time per week. If you are a crew member, you will each be given a time sheet in which you will have signed and turned into me at each production meeting.
