The+Task



The Company...
You will be assigned an acting company, made up of three to five players. Each acting company will choose a name and create its own page on this wiki. Ms. Gazso and Ms. Povec will assign each company an act and scene from Shakespeare's //Tempest// to adapt to any time period, any place, and any style of language. Each company will adapt its act and scene on its wiki page and perform its scene for the rest of the class. However, be aware, as you discuss, write, and edit your plays, that other companies are lurking on other pages of this wiki. At any time, another company may view your work, edit your script, or steal a great line! As a company, you must do your best to guard your great work from other companies that want to make sure that their show gets the best reviews from the critics!

The play's the thing . ..
Each company will be responsible to adapt its act and scene to a particular time, place, and style of language. Companies should discuss specifics of their adaptation on the discussion board of this wiki space. The company's page will serve as the center of collaboration on which the company can write and edit its script. While companies are allowed to adapt their scenes from //The Tempest// to any time period and place, language style must follow from the scene's time period and place.

Each company will prepare its script for presentation on opening night! Companies should be aware that this is a formal dramatic production. Players should memorize lines, wear appropriate costumes, and use necessary props. Remember, you're combatting for the best reviews from the critics!
 * To the theatre . . . **

**Rules of Conduct**
1. Companies must collaboratively write their scripts. All discussion must take place on the discussion board of this wiki. 2. All script writing must take place on each company's wiki page. 3. Each company must commit a minimum of three acts of creative borrowing (sabotage) of other companies' scripts. 4.
