Your professional biography in the program is your opportunity to tell people about YOU. It's also a Sinclair Theatre requirement to accept a role that's offered. Please submit a 70-word biography with the following: Hit the highlights of your theatre experience. List favorite roles or shows instead of ALL of them! Tell about your training and awards. Identify yourself as
a student and tell your future plans. Please do not begin: “(Your name) is excited to be appearing on the Blair Hall Stage…. Your biography is very important to patrons who come see the show. Some patrons will read your bio before the show to prepare for the performance to see if they know anyone and others will review at intermission because they are impressed by your performance or technical work and want to know more about YOU. Who knows, there may
be directors and producers in the audience looking for someone to fill a position they have now or will have in the future. OR someone who can offer you a scholarship! It is recommended that you avoid using a majority of your promotional space thanking people, fellow cast or crew. Thank them in person or save it for your Tony acceptance speech! Please remember to spell check and paste your bio in an email to . Also copy . Headshots: Headshots are required for all actors, designers, and stage management team (SM, ASM, PA). No biographies will be published without headshots –
it’s both or nothing – departmental policy. If you do not provide an approved bio/headshot, it will be noted in the program: Information not provided by actor/technician so it is clear that it was not accidentally left out but YOUR decision not to comply with company guidelines. HEADSHOTS WILL BE TAKEN BEFORE A SCHEDULED REHEARSAL: your stage manager will let you know when. Remember to please dress appropriately for a headshot (e.g., no t-shirts). Also, you may
want to consider having your hair and makeup done professionally. You may provide your own headshot if it is sent electronically before the headshot photo shoot and approved. David, I think the first thing you should do is look at the California standards for Theatre. It took me a while to find them, and it looks like new ones were finalized in March 2020. (I'm going to guess there was no fanfare due to the pandemic upturning all the educational tables at that time.) You can find them here: https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/vapatheatrestds.docx. It looks like there are three specific course levels for high school: Proficient, Accomplished, and Advanced. That seems to imply that students have taken Theatre courses from Pre-K through 8th grade, which seems unlikely. I taught in two states with Theatre Standards and Objectives. I started by imagining enjoyable units that could allow us to tick off multiple standards. Here in North Carolina, where I taught the last 19 years of my career, I couldn't imagine a way to accomplish the objectives without tying the courses except Theatre I to a production. A one-teacher Theatre program needs to have a happy teacher, so don't be afraid to spend more time on the things that really light your fires. Find guest artists and professional development opportunities to build on your skills and make your program richer as you build it. No two Theatre programs are the same, and that is just fine.I never wanted to head a Theatre program that sent all its graduates on to major in Theatre in college. I believe in life skills, both soft and practical, that educational Theatre involvement teaches, so I designed classes to be more than just Acting or Technical. Some students came in thinking they had to be in the spotlight, only to find that stage management was perfect, or playwriting, or costume design, or construction. How easily students can access your classes should play a part as well. With block scheduling, four classes a day for a single semester, I had to have multiple ways for students to continue taking Theatre courses. I combined Play Production, Theatre III, and Theatre IV in one class period to work on the spring mainstage, for instance. Musical Theatre, a vocal music course, met with us on alternate years, giving us teachers as Director and Musical Director for the show. Theatre II produced a touring children's show during 1st period in the fall, but students who had taken multiple classes would take that course when they could fit it in for that particular experience. As I said, there is no one way to structure a program. Here are the course descriptions I used. We had to start with Standard. I kept that designation for the Tech classes because they were not required to do work outside of class. Students were able to do more independent technical and design work in Play Production, Theatre III, and Theatre IV, along with acting, playwriting, and time required outside of class. Best wishes!
