Formerly known as Juries. These are intended to be a little easier for everyone to manage this year. The theatre major at Plymouth State University has a component in it that has been on hold for two years during COVID restrictions. Two years is a long time for university students. Many of you will not know anything about this. At the end of each year, we ask each student to meet with the appropriate faculty for a professional and academic check-in. Dr. Tulk and I discussed this component at length this morning. Traditionally, they have been referred to as Theatre Juries, using the same language that the Music Program uses for their own majors. The seniors in the program will remember doing these. Beginning this year, we are renaming them as Annual Reviews. Each option within theatre has its own criteria. In the model we have been working from, these appointments were structured very much like an audition or interview. Monologues, songs, and portfolio reviews have been presented annually by all majors, with increasing levels of challenge each year. We will be modifying this model a bit. For the past two years, we have cancelled this step in our process. Read More

As sometimes happens, we suddenly had to rethink directors, calendar positions, and titles. We had a list of shows that suited the first production slot. As always, the parameters included calendar time for rehearsals, hitting important dates (such as homecoming), time to build scenery for a given show, appropriate roles to serve current students, vocal parts, necessary creative staff, etc. “The students think we’re doing Into the Woods.” “I know.” “Ha ha.” “It’s not even on the list.” “You know, if we WERE doing into the woods, it would solve almost as many problems as this show. Maybe more” “Yes.” “Actually, it would be better than this one, and this one, too.” “Yes. And better than this one, and maybe better than this one.” “Hmm.” “Maybe we should add it to the list.” “If we end up doing it, some of them are gonna be mad.” “Yes.” “Ha ha.” So, to those of you who might feel misled: Sorry. Also: ha ha. 😀 – Kizer Into the Woodsby James Lapine and Stephen SondheimDirected by Jessie ChapmanOctober 6 – 8 (NHETG and Homecoming)Auditions in April with limited rehearsals following this spring.https://www.mtishows.com/into-the-woods The story follows a Baker and his wife, who Read More
