Changes to the Rest of the Play
Four announcements:
1) Our play has been scootched back to Monday, April 24th, during the first hour of the final exam period. Unfortunately, this placement is non-negotiable. Though I had hoped to be rid of the lot of ye after March 30, it now seems that we will be spending almost a month more in each others' company. Drats!
2) We need to rehaul the syllabus, therefore. I will come up with a revised version soon-ish.
3) Relatedly, since we have some time to work with, we will do an in-class viewing of an Aristophanes play. The Hillman media library has two pieces, _Frogs_ and _Birds_...neither of which are nature plays. _Birds_ is more comparable to our play, so I reckon we'll watch that one. If you want to watch _Frogs_ on your own, all the better.
4) We need to appoint understudies for all the large-ish parts...as a precaution. If Strep develops strep, we don't want to be completely SOL. However, understudies shouldn't be naughty in a shameless attempt to get into the spotlight. You're all stars!

So now to the rest of our play...since we aren't rushing any more (though let's not get too lax), let's go over it tomorrow (Feb. 22). I've marked the chorus parts, so I will allot those tomorrow, and we'll also discuss things to trash or alter within the text. Then we'll start a read-through next week. If we have time tomorrow, we should also discuss costuming and props a bit, as I plan to do a bit of craftstore pricing over the weekend.
Best,
Michele
