Bayou and Diary of a Wallflower

 

Last week’s tip from an Ohio teacher has already prompted more suggestions for virtual theatre and distance learning ideas, including this one from the Kingsport Theatre Guild in Tennessee.

KTG Executive Artistic Director Tina Radtke wrote an email telling us about #HomeboundTheatre, “a family quarantine challenge.”  Here’s how it works:

“Each day we will post a topic for your creative consideration at 7 a.m.  Your challenge is to script, rehearse, and perform a three-to-five minute video on the topic.  Submit the video and win a prize!  Rules:  1) Videos must be ‘G’ rated and under five minutes.  2) No special camera effects or video editing.  3) Submissions must be posted by 8 p.m.”

The KTG also recommends the #HomeboundTheatre hashtag as well as an organizationally specific hashtag to encourage sharing.

Tina says the response has been incredibly positive!  “We’ve had families tell us they plan their whole day around setup, rehearsal and filming and it’s getting then through this quarantine!”

Sounds to us like another example of theatre folks being resourceful and resilient in the name of the arts!  Now, keep ‘em coming!  What’s your story?  What are you doing to stay engaged in theatre even as the stage lights are dimmed?

Let us know and maybe we can share with others!  Because even as we’re kept apart, the digital era offers so many opportunities to come together.  Let’s keep finding ways to make theatre a part of our lives.  And help us continue Touching Lives Through Theatre...  Together™!

One of the ways we’ve been encouraging continued engagement in theatre is through our Monologue Mania! series, including the TWO NEW monologues below!  You can access all the past monologues from the Resource Articles link on our home page.

As a reminder, here are our updated guidelines for Monologue Mania!  if you or any of your students wish to record and share their performance.  We’d love to see them!

  • Perform the memorized Pioneer monologue either with or without costumes and/or props.
  • Email your video to monologues@pioneerdrama.com or choose your favorite social media platform (Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook) to post your video using the hashtags #pioneerdrama and #monologuemania so we’re sure to see it. 
  • Uploading the video and tagging it with #pioneerdrama gives Pioneer Drama Service explicit permission to share the entire video on our own social media platforms. 
  • The video must start with the following:
    • The performer’s first name
    • The full name of the play
    • The full name of the playwright(s)
    • “Published by Pioneer Drama Service”
    • A short introduction to set the scene.  For many plays, this can be done in just one or two lines.
    • Do NOT include your full name or any school name or location since we want to protect everyone’s privacy.

Here are today’s monologues:

In the Spotlight
Cover for Diary of a Wallflower

Diary of a Wallflower
High school junior Charlotte Walden is convinced that she’s virtually invisible until she comes to the realization that she is not alone.
Cover for Bayou

Bayou
Many legends persist in the bayou, but none strikes an icy chill of fear like the mention of “Le Serpent!”  In this mystical play, chorus members have the opportunity to create a special atmosphere.
