Greek Tragedy Plays
For this project we studied a Greek tragedy, Antigone, and used the outline to make our own tragedy's. At first we were put into groups of two to create an outline and proposal for a play idea. My partner was Benny Jimenez. This was our outline and proposal.
We presented these to the whole class and then they selected six plays they wanted to maybe produce. My play was chosen. We then got two more group members from other groups who were chosen. They helped with the final presentation to the class of which play the class would preform. With the help of the members, we created a script.
After the final presentation, my play was chosen to be produced. Benny and I were the directors so we casted classmates to be the characters. We preformed the play in front of the whole school, judges and parents. The other classes in the 9th grade also went through this process and so we competed with them. My play did not win the big award of best play but we won for best supporting actor. Through out the whole project, my job was to co write the script, revise it and direct the actors during rehearsals. I will admit it was a hard project but very fun.
