20 Character Profile Questions
One of the most important elements when writing a play or a story is creating characters that feel three-dimensional and real. You can help your students flesh out their characters with some focused character development questions in order to create realistic and well-rounded personalities.
We have 20 questions students can apply to their characters to develop their character profiles:1. What is your full name?
2. Does your name mean anything?
3. Who is in your immediate family?
4. What is your job? Do you like it?
5. Who do you get along with most? Least?
6. Who is your most important relationship?
7. Where do you live in the world?
8. Is your living environment urban, rural, or suburban?
9. How do you live? (are you neat, messy, artistic, spartan?)
10. How do you decorate your living space?
11. What is your favourite food, movie, song, colour?
12. What is your least favourite food, movie, song, colour?
13. How do you dress on a daily basis?
14. What do you choose to wear when you dress up?
15. What is your biggest pet peeve?
16. What is your biggest secret?
17. What is your favourite childhood memory?
18. What one moment from your past affects you today?

We love Theatrefolk and Lindsay Price. Last year we did Deck the Stage... it was fabulous! Deck the Stage is perfect for a high school production. Ms. Price's dialogue is witty and charming, with just the right measure of silliness that can really be hammed up.
I know this year's production of The Merrie Christmas Show will be just as successful as Deck the Stage.

I recently saw your shout out to BCHS on your blog, as well as the podcast where you spoke to some of my classmates and fellow castmembers of Stroke Static. I played Ruthie in Stroke Static and The Prioress in The Canterbury Tales. I would like to take the time to let you know just how much that performance meant to me.
Participating in Stroke Static was by far one of the best, most rewarding, and life-changing experiences of my life so far. But even past that, the fact that we touched so many people in our performance really affected me. I sincerely wish that you could have been there to see it. It was truly magical.
I would like to thank you from the very bottom of my heart for the work you put into this play. I hope we made you proud!

I was thrilled to find this version of Romeo and Juliet, and look forward to working on it. The length, and yet the quality of the edits in writing make it possible to even think about in our situation. Yea!
