One more quick note regarding A/V moments: I've seen people have trouble with this section before, so I wanted to make a special note about it. Remember that A/V moments are COMBINED AUDIO-VISUAL moments--a moment in which sound and visuals play together to create something exciting onstage. As an example: Shakespeare's The Tempest opens on a huge hurricane: there's sounds of wind and rain and a ship being torn apart, and the visual component onstage matches all of that: chaos, confusion, a ship shattering, crew scattered about. If you were listing that moment and only mentioned the sound of the wind and rain, the section would be incomplete. Don't use the A/V section to only list sounds; you have to find a visual component in that moment as well. These require the use of your imagination, as the link between a sound and image moment onstage isn't always clear!
