College Closed - Thanksgiving Break!
Hello all --
Here is the monologue that you will need to prepare for your 091 juries.
It is a monologue from the short play Variations on the Death of Trotsky by David Ives. (You can access a pdf of the play at this link. It is very short.)
Please film yourself performing this piece and upload it to this padlet page.
Trotsky:
So even an assassin can make the flowers grow. The gardener was false, and yet the garden that he tended was real. How was I to know he was my killer when I passed him every day? How was I to know that the man tending the nasturtiums would keep me from seeing what the weather will be like tomorrow? How was I to know I'd never see Casablanca, which wouldn't be made until 1942 and which I would have despised anyway? How was I to know I'd never get to know about the bomb, or the eighty thousand dead at Hiroshima? Or rock and roll, or Gorbachev, or the state of Israel? How was I supposed to know I'd be erased from the history books of my own land..?
Sometime, for everyone, there's a room that you go into, and it's the room that you never leave. Or else you go out of a room and it's the last room that you'll ever leave. This is my last room.

Hello Theatre Majors --
A couple of students had asked about the end-of-semester appointments that are scheduled in December (the 1st, 8th, and 15th).
Meeting with performance and design instructors is required for all theatre majors. There are different assignments that you will need to prepare, depending on what year you are (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior), and what your track is (Musical Theatre, Performance, Technical Design -- General Theatre majors should follow the Performance requirements unless otherwise advised).
Performers: Bill Wilson has already scheduled everyone for an appointment. If you are unclear about your designated day and time, please check under the calendar tab here on the Callboard -- look to December and check for the 091-MT/ Performance.
If there is any issue with your designated day and time, please contact Bill Wilson at wwilson@ric.edu ASAP.
Also -- because of where the holiday weekend falls this year, I will be posting the monologue that freshman are required to submit by the end of this week.
If you are unclear about any of the 091 performance requirements, please speak with either myself (casey.seymourkim@gmail.com) or Bill Wilson (wwilson@ric.edu).
Technical Designers: Please consult Alan Pickart (apickart@ric.edu) or Nicki Frechette-Shaw (nfrechette@ric.edu) to determine your appointment time on December 8th and the presentation requirements.
Thank you and have a great week!
