Required

Write a review of each and discuss the plot or story with your counselor. If you watched them, comment on the acting and the staging. Not on television, video, or as a movie.

Notes and warnings

Warning. The requirement notes: "Watching plays on television, video, or as a movie is not permitted." See them live, or read them.

Tip. Requirement 1 needs three full-length plays, seen live or read, and most routes in requirement 3 need a play or production to work on. Look early for school, community or unit productions you could see or join.
