Attending a live theatre production (opera, ballet, play, dance performance) by professional, college,
community or high school companies and writing a report (25 points).*

Working on a crew or committee involved with the student body play/musical (50-100 points).

Working on the set construction for the student body play/musical (25-100 points).


Any other extra-credit project or performance outside of regular class assignments. You must check
with me before starting a project so that a point value can be assigned to the project. Do not assume a
point value for any project.
Some things that frequently cause people to not receive full credit:

For plays, you must include a program or ticket stub. These will be returned to you.

If you do not do the write-up for a performance, it is worth 12 points.

For movies, you must do the write-up. No credit is given to simply seeing a movie.

All play/movie write-ups must use the Live Performance Report Form format. Points will be reduced, or not even
awarded, if this format is not followed. When using this form for a movie, simply disregard the “audience reaction”
and “where was play performed” categories.

For plays you have read and are reviewing, use the Play Report Form. Again, you risk not receiving the incentive
points when you do not follow this format.

The Gallery Report form must be followed completely for all gallery write-ups.
