            All entries need to be labeled, dated and legible to receive credit.          
 
Group projects and performances: individual and group focus; adaptation, preparation, and presentation of material, performance accuracy based upon requirement – impromptu, reading, close readings, presentations, etc.
***There will be a project following completion of each play.

Loss of points can result from lack of participation, disruption of presentations and/or unnecessary criticism of others – (aka heckling).
