Dear Fans, Parents, Coaches, Administrators & Participants:

Welcome to the 2015 WHSAA State Drama Competition! Thank you for supporting this educational

experience for our students. We would like to wish all the participants the best of luck during their competition.

Activity programs provide valuable lessons for our students. Through the drama program, students have

learned the value of teamwork and have dedicated many hours towards developing a solid work ethic. Drama

also helps build self-esteem and character along with developing the self-discipline it takes to achieve a quality

performance. Participation in drama is a valuable part of the overall high school experience and is an extension

of a good educational program.

“We are High School”. In this world of technology where face to face communication is diminishing, high

school activities continue to be a vehicle to bring communities together and promote community pride. This

event enriches each student’s total educational experience and assists in promoting positive school and

community relations.

We are pleased with the overall results of the positive actions taken by our schools last year in promoting

sportsmanship. We thank all of you at this event for being positive role models and representing your

community in a positive fashion.

We would like to thank the Wyoming Educators of Secondary Theatre (WEST) for their time and effort in

preparing for this event. Their experience and expertise in hosting the State Drama Tournament ensures a

successful event each year. We would also like to thank University of Wyoming for opening their doors to all of

us and invite you to enjoy Laramie during your stay. “Break a Leg”!

Join the RIDE,

Ron Laird, CMAA

Commissioner

Theatre Etiquette 1) No electronic equipment allowed. This includes cellular phones, beepers, alarm watches, radios,

etc.; they tend to distract both actors and viewers.

2) Because of copyright laws, no pictures, tape recordings, or video recordings will be permitted

inside the theatre.

3) Keep young children seated. Please sit near the aisle to move crying children quickly from the

theatre. A patient parent may not be disturbed, but others might. Please be considerate of others.

4) Absolutely NO food, gum or drink in the theatre! Refreshments should be enjoyed outside of the

theatre!

5) Please refrain from talking during the performance. If it is absolutely necessary, please keep it to a

low whisper.

6) Please remove your hat. It may obstruct the view of other audience members.

7) Do not leave the theatre during performances. The light from the outside makes a shimmering

silhouette with the door and your figure. This is very distracting to the actors and audience members.

8) Sorry, no audience members backstage. You may congratulate performers and crew after the

performance.

9) Being late to a performance is not acceptable. (Most theatres lock doors after a performance has begun.) If

you are late, please take a seat on the outside aisles and move to your seat during a break. Do not rudely

cross in front of people who are seated and watching the show.

10) Theatre audiences show enthusiasm for performance quality by laughter, clapping, and

moderate vocal congratulations (bravo!). The use of loud statements directed at the cast members and

interactions such as whistles, throwing items, yelling at individual actors is generally not accepted by

theatre going audiences. These actions are considered poor taste. We encourage enthusiastic, but

appropriate audience response.

Thank you for your cooperation

State Drama 2015 25

TIPS FOR HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP AUDTIONS

All seniors who are planning on attending a Wyoming colleges or university as a theater major or minor are encouraged to audition for available scholarships.

Fill out the Scholarship resume’ and Creative resume’ for the purposes of auditions.

You must make 15 copies of the resume forms to bring to the State Drama Audition.

Remember to provide a photo on the resume.

Acting Auditions- o Time begins with the introduction; no one will be allowed to start over. Students have a maximum of 2

minutes. The student should begin by giving his or her name, followed by the names of the selections. Students, please have your teacher go over the actual process of auditioning with you. Remember to rehearse the introductions, being as natural and articulate as possible. Rehearse your selection. The students who are most successful are those who have spent time rehearsing with their coach. Do not describe the scene or setting you will perform, just do it! Most of the time, viewers are familiar with the plays chosen. Students may be asked questions after they audition, but this time is not part of their two minutes.

o We would prefer to see two contrasting monologues, each one minute in length. By contrasting, we mean material that shows different sides of the performer. This contrast could mean one dramatic and one humorous piece, or one contemporary/modern language piece coupled with a classical piece.

o Unless a student has experience and feels comfortable with it, please avoid Shakespeare. Many times we see students bring in speech cuttings that have been successful at their speech meets throughout the year. While these do show off skill, we prefer to see material from plays that have fully developed characters. Novels, stories, poems, etc., are not meant to be performed, but read. Acting is action, and plays provide that type of material.

o If the student would like to sing, he or she may do so. A CD player will be provided. We will provide a person to run the CD for you. Usually 16 measures or one verse of a song is sufficient. Please sing a song from a musical, not a top 40 hit, and remember to act while singing.

o If the student would like to dance for part of the audition, he or she is encouraged to do so. Prepare a dance piece in the style of choice (modern, ballet, or jazz). Students may have a dance teacher help with the choreography, or they might prefer to choreograph their own audition material. If a student choreographs his or her own piece please let us know after the introduction at the beginning of the audition.

Technical auditions- o Technical audition applicants are given a space to display their works and spend approximately 6 minutes

discussing their background and goals. Technical students are encouraged to prepare a portfolio of their work. Photos, designs, and school work may be used in organizing a portfolio. Neatness and organization are encouraged.

o The student should remember to talk about the creative process involved with the works he or she is displaying. It is also advised that students rehearse what they plan on saying; this makes the student more confident and displays professionalism.

o Students will be permitted to temporarily take down any tech event in which he or she is competing, provided the judge is not judging the event at the time.

When a student auditions, we like to make it as relaxed as possible. A group of faculty can be intimidating, but please remember we want the student to do his or her best! We like to see talent! The student should wear something that is flattering but also comfortable. If you don’t feel right in nylons and heels, don’t wear them. Suits and ties are nice, but if they restrict your audition in any way, choose something else.

Schools that wish to observe the various performances are encouraged to attend the tournament. These schools will only be charged a school registration fee of $35.00.

8.4.3 CHOICE OF MATERIAL: It is strongly recommended that Directors use good judgment in selection of the play or material that is high school appropriate. Judges may be offended and students may pay a consequence for this choice. Obscenity Clause and Procedure for Grievance It is up to each school’s administration to determine that each production brought to the Wyoming State Drama Competition does not offend the moral standards of their community and that obscenity has been eliminated. If the script has been read and the staged production viewed and approved by the administrator of the producing school, the production is eligible for presentation at any contest site. 1.) Each school’s administrative team* must affirm this review when they sign the “Community Standards Compliance Form.” If the play cannot be cut to meet community standards, then the play should not be selected for contest use. It is the duty of each director and their administrator to make a responsible selection for the students you work with and the community you represent. Make sure that you discuss the choice of script and questionable language and business with your administrators. *administrative team may include principal, activity directors, and/or school board. Because schools differ in size and personnel, we have left this term unspecific. However, this term usually applies to principals, superintendents, activity directors, and/or school board. 2.) Directors who have secured approval from their administration as specified on their “Community Standards Compliance Form” may also choose to submit an e-mail WEST if they feel their material requires a preface or caution to viewers. This will be added to the list serve as a way for other directors to decide if such material is something they wish their students to attend. Although such disclosures are NOT required, establishing communication among directors is appreciated in an attempt to create a safe and educational environment for all schools and guests. 3.) In the event that WEST or WHSAA is contacted regarding “obscene material,” it is proposed that the following procedure be followed. Complaints must be submitted via e-mail to the WEST Board within two (2) weeks of the State Competition. If outside of that window, the grievance will be dropped. WEST will: a. Contact the administrative team listed on the compliance form b. Review complaints against the school with administrative team member/s c. Administrative team will provide a written statement to WEST regarding said compliant d. WEST Board will pass both written grievance and administrative statement on to WHSAA e. WHSAA will review written statements and decide what further actions are necessary: 1. Charges dropped 2. Meeting with director and administrative representative and WHSAA Board 3. Removal of WHSAA placing or All-State accolades 4. Warning/Probation (If persistent complaints possible suspension from competition possible)

Plays presented may be either a one-act play or a scene or scenes from a longer play. If a cutting from a longer play is used, the selection should be relatively self-contained and self-explanatory and should not require either knowledge of the entire play or an extended narrative introduction.

If an introduction is used it will count as part of the 30 minute time limit
