Brief explanation and some kind of storyboard of your choice for your solo theatre piece, including
your stated intentions for the piece (Basically, I need to know your performance concept.)

Include notes regarding technical elements needed: stage space/performance space, lighting, sound,
projections, props, set pieces, costuming, etc.
o
Reminder: This information can be arranged in a variety of ways—collage, storyboard,
sketches, graphic organizers, etc. (Any way that will help communicate your director/designer’s
vision for your piece)
NOTE: You should plan and practice (rehearse) your solo piece over the summer prior to your draft performance
on August 16. Remember that you can employ others to help run your lighting and sound and/or work as
“crew,” etc. If you would like to use the AHS stage, classroom, or technical equipment for practice, you will
need to coordinate that schedule with me. (We’ll be in a new space with new equipment, which will make
things interesting, but possible.)

something similar to a “Talk Back” with the audience where you discuss and ask questions of
