You will need to keep on task to complete this in the week given. Please read one act per night for HW and be prepared to work converting as a group.
Week Two: November 17th-24 Rehearsal week/begin filming:
You will have at least three days set aside to practice your play. Please use this time to work out blocking. Each group will need to pass in a storyboard that shows in detail your filming ideas.
