Be completing this extra credit project your student will be able to "fill in" a lot of the missing scores on his/her grade. There is no due date... I will accept it starting now and until the end of the quarter. If your student has any questions regarding the content of this paper or needs some more explaining then feel free to have them come talk to me one-on-one before or after school; I am here to help and only want their success!

Why am I proposing such a project? I am so passionate about this film! It shows an inside look at all of the collaboration, hard work, talent, commitment, and responsibility it takes to produce such an amazing show! These are all the things I have been trying to teach theatre students throughout the year, and through watching this film they have a "front row seat" to all of these fundamental processes.
