This course is available to students who have successfully completed an audition and been cast in one of Greystone Theatre’s mainstage productions in a role that has been deemed by the instructor/director to be of sufficient scope to merit 2CUs. Greystone Theatre produces several theatre productions each year. Mainstage productions generally take place twice per term (October, November/December, February, March/April), and rehearse in the evenings for 6 weeks leading up to the production. Students will immerse themselves in the creation of an theatrical production under the guidance of a director and in collaboration with designers, stage managers, and fellow actors. Through physical, vocal and imaginative exercises, text and character analysis, and improvisation, students will investigate their personal creative process, cultivate an appreciation for the craft of acting, and cultivate collaboration skills while engaging with dramatic works drawn from a range of periods, genres and styles. Prerequisite(s): Drama 119.3; successful completion of an audition; and permission of the undergraduate program chair of Drama. Prerequisite(s) or Co-requisite(s): DRAM 218.3 Note: Preference will be given to full-time students. Students will be notified of which Greystone Theatre course(s) associated with a particular role at the time of offer. Rehearsals generally take place for four hours every evening Monday-Friday with one weekend rehearsal each week (either Saturday or Sunday afternoons). Greystone Theatre rehearsals take place over Thanksgiving weekend, fall break, and reading week. Outside rehearsal and performance dates are made available at the time of audition, with rehearsal hours being announced when students are offered a role. This course may be taken 3 times for a total of 6 credit units.
