Fairy Tale Theatre Mad Libs Worksheet

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this script and the many opportunities that it provided my cast - learning about the traditional commedia style and how it impacts modern-day comedy conventions, making authentic masks, exploring and experimenting with physical comedy, learning to juggle, etc. The script was also a director's dream to work with - filled with so many suggestions and production ideas for the director to consider!

I just wanted to write you and let you know how much we enjoyed working on "Stroke Static" this year. Several years ago I wanted to use this script for my competitive readers theatre, but the students I had at that time just didn't "get it". When I was at the STAM State convention this fall, I went to one of Lindsay Price's workshops. It brought back to memory that unique script. This year I have mature, amazing students and I again brought it out. And this year it clicked. We placed first at the Big 8 Readers Tournament, first at our MSHSAA District tournament, and this past weekend we place 2nd at the MO State Tournament. But winning was only the gravy. Every so often you find a script that challenges the actors, so much so that they are better performers for life. This is one of those scripts. And I know that many of the audience members will have a lasting memory of this lovely script. I just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time with the show!

I just wanted to say a very big thank you for making "My Father Went to Switzerland..." available. I teach theatre in an English-medium international school in Berne, Switzerland and teach a unit on Stanislavski to 15/16 year old students every year. This year I used your download and it was brilliant! Not only did the students use your objective and given circumstances worksheets in conjunction with the script but also did diary entries as either Mr Jackson or Eugenie, created a whole background for them, did the scene before and the scene after. In fact did a whole lot of things and had a great time!! It's a fantastic resource and I just wanted to let you know!
