Resource: Tons of Big, Huge, and Giant Prompts!

Sometimes you just need a tiny prompt to serve your purpose, but other times you need a whole bunch of big, huge, and GIANT prompts! To get your students thinking big, we’ve got a gigantic list of 50 gargantuan (colossal, enormous) prompts below, with an additional 50 huge (immense, mammoth) prompts in the giveaway at the bottom of this article. Here are five exercises you could use giant prompts for: • Giant Mime Team Exercise: Have students work together to mime picking up a giant item, all at the same time. What happens if someone starts to wobble and lose their grip? • Tableau Scene: Divide students into groups of four. Have them create a frozen picture where one or more students are huge and the rest are miniature. • Playwriting Exercise: Write a scene in which a detective must track down a criminal mastermind. The criminal mastermind is stealing huge items using a chemical compound that makes the items tiny. • Staging Challenge: Using the premise in the Playwriting Exercise above, answer the following questions: • How would you stage the miniature item? • How would you stage the same item in huge form? • How would you stage the transformation of the item from huge to tiny (or vice versa)? • Improv Exercise: Improvise a scene in which characters are lost in a gigantic location.

Customer Appreciation

Tracy Nash Drama Coach Esparto High School Esparto California
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!
