A

(offstage) you’re going to have to be louder.

Q

Colby: All right everyone. Are we having a good time?

A

No, big, Colby. I need you to be big. The play is called the Turn of the Screw with audience participation. You’re providing the audience participation.

Q

Colby: When I say a word, you’re all going to shout out that word, and if you don’t, the whole play will fail.

Q

Kelvin: I get what you’re saying!

A

Stop! Don’t agree with me and don’t say anything!

Can I help you?

17
Q

Garbiela: I want to join theatre.

A

We’re all cast and we’re all crewed.

18
Q

Garbiela: I heard you’re still squeezing people in.

A

Not anymore. You can observe this semester.

19
Q

Garbiela: Seems like you could use help with the lights,

A

Have you worked on lighting before?

20
Q

Garbiela: This would be a great time to mention that I lie incessantly.

Yeah. Tons.

A

What shows?

21
Q

Garbiela: At my old high school, The Little Mermaid & Waiting for Godou.

A

Your high school did Waiting for Godou?

22
Q

Garbiela: …It was a production of the Scottish play, and their Fresnels didn’t work with their antiquated light board so I had to figure out how to rewire it.

A

Good! Get up there and start fixing.

23
Q

Stauncher: Good! Get up there and start fixing.

Garbiela: I will

A

Go!

24
Q

Garbiela: I have a migraine right now. I’ll do it tomorrow.

A

PLACES!

25
Q

Billia: I hate my part

A

Your part is important.

26
Q

Billia: No it’s not. It’s not even a talking statue. It’s just a statue.

A

There are no small parts.

27
Q

Billia: Actually, if you don’t talk and you don’t move, that’s a small part.

A

That’s when you dig into research.

28
Q

Billia: I don’t want to be just a statue; I want to be a statue that does a handstand.

A

There’s no place in the play where that would fit.

29
Q

Billia: 10 years from now people will be talking and someone will say, “do you remember the play The Turn of the Screw with Audience Participation?” And they’ll be like, “No. Wait, is that the one where the statue does the handstand? I love that play!”

A

Let me see it. Let’s see the handstand.

30
Q

Billia: I can’t do a handstand. That’s why it’s a good assignment.

A

If you can stand one hundred percent still for the whole play, I’ll consider the handstand. Scene 21B! Enter the Butler.

31
Q

Maunder: What will happen next in this house of terrifying spirits?

A

Stop! You have to know your line.

32
Q

Maunder: That is the line!

A

No. I changed “terrifying” to “terrifying and amazing.” Do it again!

33
Q

Maunder: What will happen next in this house of amazing and terrifying spirits? And who’s that knocking at the door!

A

“DID YOU HEAR A KNOCK” You have to know your lines! You have six of them.

34
Q

Maunder: I do know the lines. I don’t know the order of the lines.

A

Let’s call it a day. I’ll see you at three p.m. sharp tomorrow.
