One Act Play ideas

Hi Drama 20 students!  Today we are in the Computer Lab looking up possible One Act Plays to perform for our final performance project (May/June).

If and when you find one that you would like considered (for yourself or another group), please comment below with the name of the play, the playwright, a brief synopsis, and the number of cast members required (and gender, if applicable).

We will be working on these plays during class time and performing them for the class audience in June before exams.

One-Act Plays (Drama 20)

Computers 8 Texture edit

Choose a silhouette photo without too much foreground or background distraction (aim for 1,000 pixels as usual) and upload it to Ribbet.  Using the Texture feature and its various options, edit your photo to your liking.  Save it as "Last name, Texture" and a description of the photo itself, for example, "Lohneis, Texture Butterfly" or "Lohneis, Texture Umbrella Girl" etc.

Here are a few examples so you know what your project should look like.

Wedding iMovie - Cancun 2014

Here's the video I've been sharing with the students and staff from our wedding trip to Cancun over Easter.  It was a wonderful vacation with friends and family…. and now I'm married! :)

Shadows and Sunshine

Edit a relevant photo with the following quotation (using your text techniques) and hand in to the 8L or 8C folder with the file name Lastname, Shadows and Sunshine:

"Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine."

Example from last year's Computers 8 class:
