Theatre Audience Etiquette Poster

My class chose Bradley Hayward's Apostrophe's even though I had a feeling it would not go over with an eighth grade audience. I was wrong. The students liked the fact that all parts could be played by either sex. They used this for 35% of their grade and nearly all students earned an A or B. Because some of the parts were short, even my special education students were able to shine.

I just wanted to tell you that my cast LOVES your play (Look Me in the Eye). They have done more analysis on the plot and character (all on their own) than with any other show I have done. I would like to express my gratitude for your work. Last year we did your Ths Phne 2: The Next Generation and we went to State with it. It is so great to find quality scripts on modern topics that students can relate to. Since we have to take everything on a school bus, I so appreciate your simple, easy sets. You are our secret weapon for the One Act Competition. Keep up the great work.

The play was a great success, so thank you for producing a well-written and easy to perform work. The kids loved it, and it went over well with our public performance!
