Theatre

One of my favorite classes I've taken at Middlebury. There are some readings but generally skimming or reading online summaries is good enough. I enjoyed this class so much and it was a contributing factor to my decision to become a theater major. You are supposed to keep a weekly journal but it was only checked twice a semester and you could still get a pretty good grade with very little entries. You do have to go into it with an open mind and a willingness to do things that seem silly, embarrassing, etc. . You really get what you put into it. The class was a mixed group of people with lots of acting experience and people who have never been involved in any live performance environment before. Generally a really good experience.

This class was technically taught by Mark Evancho but was for the most part actually taught by Jeremy, and, depending on the project, Jim, Mark, or Tony. The structure of class was very different from others I've taken. Twice a week you would show up from 1:30 to 4:15 and work on whatever project they needed help with at that particular time. Sometimes that was building flats for the set, painting backdrops, making or modifying props (including working with the costume shop on a doll), addressing lights, or any number of different activities and projects. While you are allowed to leave right at 4:15 there were frequent offers to stay later in exchange for a better grade in certain areas. Occasionally Mark would show up and give quizzes but his grading was so lenient that you could easily pass these without having done the reading. All the instructors were very passionate about their work and seemed very excited to share it with new people. They were also very willing to explain (and in some cases re-explain) the process of whatever they were asking us to do, and were always open to questions.

It was a good and easy class. Not too much to do, the assignments are slight really. Just make sure to memorize lines and you will be fine. Very easy to do and doesn't take up that much time to complete work and be prepared.
