Updated Syllabus
***Two posts back or so are some recommended changes that NEED to go into effect during the read-through. If, when we're reading, your lines don't reflect the changes, you will LOSE participation points. Seriously. Also, my own copy of the play is in my mailbox (11th floor by the copy machines) for your reference and edification. ***
This syllabus reflects our altered performance date:
March 1: Read-through (concentrate on your voice; in a few weeks ye'll have to stand up and do full gestures/facial expressions, etc.)
March 8: Spring break...a leg; try to go over your part a couple of times.
March 15: Complete the read-through; costuming ideas (be brainstorming/sketching/experimenting with these)
March 22: Class time viewing of Aristophanes' "The Birds"; we are mining this play for stagecraft/costume ideas mostly, so we'll probably watch only 25 mins and then deliberate on our own staging/costuming.
March 29: Rehearsal
April 5: Rehearsal with as many props and stage items as possible
April 12: Dress Rehearsal
April 19: Dress Rehearsal (perhaps in G8). If we can't do it in G8 during our class time, would ye be willing to do it in the evening or on Saturday instead?
MONDAY, APRIL 24: The spotlight's on us, yinzers.
If any of ye have suggestions (esp. if ye feel I've forgotten some essential or another), COMMENT. Ye don't lose points for not doing so, but ye gain them when ye do.
Best,
Michele

I forgot my book in class today, Sorry! But as I was going through and making the changes we talked about today, I noticed that I have a chorus part right after my creditor lines. I'm just trying to visualize it, when the creditor exits (me), will I just walk into the chorus? I don't think there will be time for a costume change... Just curious!

Here are my typed lines as the second creditor, I have them saved as a word document as well.
Page 121-122
Second Creditor
Oh my! Oh my!
Second Creditor
Why do you want to know who I am? I am a man of sorrows.
Second Creditor
Oh cruel divinity that smashed my chariot!
Pallas, thou hast destroyed me utterly.
Second Creditor
Stop making fun of me, man. Tell your son to pay me back the money he took from me. He ought to anyway, and especially when I’m in a state like this.
Second Creditor
The money he borrowed.
Second Creditor
Yes, by the gods, I fell off my chariot.
Second Creditor
Nonsense? I only want my own money back!
Second Creditor
Why not?
Second Creditor
I’m fairly sure that you’re going to get a summons from me, if you don’t pay up.
Second Creditor
I don’t know, and I don’t care.
Second Creditor
Look, if you’re short of cash, you can just pay the interest for now.
Second Creditor
Well, it’s just the way that a sum of money keeps getting bigger, month by month, day by day, as time runs on.
Second Creditor
No, it’s the same size; there would be something wrong if it wasn’t.
Second Creditor
Help! Assault!
Second Creditor
This is criminal outrage!
