theatre performance essay

Attend a live theatre performance and write a performance response paper.

Please note that this is your final for the class and is worth 20 points.  You will be expected to apply any notes given on your first paper to this one. Please read the rubric prior to writing the paper.

Please read the Performance Response Tips Performance Response Tips.docx page and the assignment rubric for guidance. The paper should include at lease one paragraph addressing each of the topics outlined in the rubric and include vocabulary from the reading when appropriate. Your observations should be written in your own words (this is not a research paper) based on what you experienced at the performance. As with all assignments in this class your writing should be your own and proper citation of any information quoted is required. I am not concerned with exact word counts or any specified spacing, but spelling, grammar, and clarity of writing will be considered in grading.

Please include the following header on you paper:

Your Name

Show Name

Date Attended

Theatre Name
