KISS ME KATE
Click HERE to view Pics of KISS ME KATE!!!

A Revised/Modernized Edition of a Golden Classic!

(Inspired by The Taming of the Shrew, it tells the tale of musical theater actors, who were once married and are now performing opposite each other in the roles of Petruchio and Katherine in a Broadway-bound musical version of William Shakespeare's play. Already on poor terms, the pair begin an all-out emotional war mid-performance that threatens the production's success. The only thing keeping the show together are threats from a pair of gangsters, who have come to collect a gambling debt from the show's Lucentio, Bill Calhoun. In classic musical comedy fashion, slapstick madness ensues before everything is resolved.)

THE HALLELUJAH GIRLS!

A Spring Comedy for the Whole Family

(Hilarity abounds when the feisty females of Eden Falls, Georgia, decide to shake up their lives. The action in this rollicking Southern comedy takes place in SPA-DEE-DAH!, the abandoned church-turned day spa where this group of friends gathers every Friday afternoon. After the loss of a dear friend, the women realize time is precious and if they're going to change their lives and achieve their dreams they have to get on it now! But Sugar Lee, their high-spirited, determined leader, has her hands full keeping the women motivated.)

In the winter of 2007, I was given the gift of becoming the new Theatre Director at JDHS. So the production below was my first of many wonderful productions at Juneau-Douglas High School. I hope I will be honored to continue my work at this wonderful high school for many more years to come.

Theatre Classes– Academic & Discipline Plan

Social Dance & All Acting Classes

The mission of Juneau-Douglas High School is to develop a healthy community of learners and to prepare our culturally diverse student population for global citizenship.

Instructor	Michaela Moore	E-mail	michaela_moore@jsd.k12.ak.us
Office Hours	Please make an appointment Prep Period: 3rd	Phone	523-1512

Course Description:

JDHS Acting classes introduce students to all aspects of theatrical performances through acting activities, games, and scene-work. JDHS Social Dance class introduces students to a variety of dances and creative movement for social settings. Theatre & Dance builds self-confidence, teaches group dynamics, nurtures grace under pressure, and fosters creativity.

Materials to Bring to Class:

Scripts or handouts needed in a current theatrical assigned performance. Failure to have the required current assignment paperwork in class will result in a lower score on their participation/attendance grade.

Course Overview:

All theatre classes at JDHS begin with the basic elements and move through individual performances and group performances to show mastery of class objectives. Goals in acting include being able to create and/or perform in a variety of theatrical performances: monologs, duet scenes, group scenes, improvisations, pantomimes, and plays. Goals in social dance include being able to create and/or perform in a variety of ballroom dances: waltz, foxtrot, tango, swing, rumba, salsa, etc.

Goals/Objectives:

· To create and perform in a variety of performances.

· To participate in acting or dancing games and exercises to improve acting or dancing skills.

· To critique peers acting or dancing skills.

· To learn the fundamentals of acting or dancing.

· To direct peers in an acting or dancing pursuit.

· To practice and improve stage presence.

· To develop an appreciation for the way that acting or dancing enhances culture & community.

Standards:

This course will be taught to district standards and district curriculum. The Juneau School District curricular information may be reviewed using the Juneau School District web site under the Departments-Instructional Services menu item: http://www.juneauschools.org . Alaska State Standards can be found on the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development website: http://www.eed.state.ak.us/standards/.

Grading:

Grading will follow the policy adopted by the Juneau School District Board of Education (Board Policy # 5420R). As per board policy, semester grades are calculated based on the cumulative average of the two quarters.

A = 90% - 100%

B = 80% - 89%

C = 70% - 79%

D = 60% - 69%

F = 0% - 60%

“INC” = Incomplete

Theatre classes are purely participation based:

Class Participation & Attendance Grades: 100%

Extra Credit: May be arranged with the teacher.

Late/Make-up Work Policy and Procedures:

Because theatre classes are participation/performance based, attendance is imperative. All absences and tardies will lower the class participation/attendance grades that averages together to make up 50% of a student’s overall score. Any make up work must be arranged with the instructor before school, after school, during the end of class clean-up time, or during lunch.

Theatre Website:

http://www.jdhsdrama.com

I will make every effort to respond to e-mail or phone messages within one school day. I will do my best to make students aware of my daily schedule and to provide extra assistance when needed. Students and parents are encouraged to make appointments ahead of time. Students may also receive extra help through the JDHS Learning Center located in the school library.

Behavioral Expectations:

Because all theatre classes at JDHS are performance and participation based, the following guidelines are extremely important for the comfort, safety, and enjoyment for everyone. Failure to take the guidelines seriously will result in the student’s privilege to participate taken away for the day and consequently for his/her participation/attendance grade to be lowered.

· Keep a positive attitude

· Be respectful of all and be willing to work positively with all classroom peers

· Act in a mature and professional manner

· Be on time

· Take pride in your classroom

Please note: Students are expected to adhere to JDHS policies, as outlined in the Student Handbook, at all times. Classroom policies may include more specific requirements, but they cannot be relaxed beyond the minimums as set forth in the Student Handbook.

Consequences of Misbehavior:

First: Student will receive a reminder/warning of the classroom guidelines.

Second: Student will be out of play for the rest of the period and must conference with the teacher. The student’s participation grade for the day will be lowered.

Third: The teacher will attempt to contact a parent.

IF THE NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR CONTINUES, the student will be referred to the principal.

Please note: Any action that endangers others, seriously interferes with the learning process, or is significantly disrespectful to staff or students may result in immediate removal from the classroom and/or direct referral to an administrator, thus by-passing above consequences.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY— (From the JDHS Student Handbook):

Cheating does not allow for any type of true analysis and is not tolerated. Cheating is defined as, but not limited to:

1. Procuring, possessing, using, or distributing test, quizzes, answer keys, teacher manuals or teacher textbooks and the like;

2. Any attempt to tamper with or alter a teacher's record or grades;

3. Representing the work of others as one’s own work; including materials from the Internet.

4. Making use of notes, homework assignments, information slips (“crib sheets”) except for those notes a teacher specifically authorizes for student use during a particular test or quiz, and;

5. Obtaining or offering unauthorized information;

6. Plagiarism

The academic penalty for all parties involved in cheating is a zero or failing grade for any copied or plagiarized assignment, exam, or quiz. Students will not be allowed to make-up the work. Also, the disciplinary penalty for cheating may include an office referral for disciplinary action. Possession and/or unauthorized distribution of materials or altering a teacher's records call for severe disciplinary consequences. Repeat offenses could result in loss of credit for an entire course.

Electronic Devices:
Cell phones, iPods, CD players, and other electronic devices are to be turned off and out of sight during class unless the teacher has given specific permission for their use. If an item is confiscated for violation of class rules, it may be retrieved from the teacher on the first offense. For subsequent offenses, the item will be turned over to the department administrator, who will make arrangements for the retrieval of the item with the student and/or parent(s).

Glimpses Into Recent Production

2009-09-09T10:05:00.005-08:00

Mrs. Moore's Office where her actors/actresses find respite fro the stress of the productions.

The raised floor for the plant shop. The first of the Little Shop of Horrors set to be built and painted.

Shanae'a Moore and Zoey Wilson choreographing the dances that will be used in the Little Shop of Horrors show.

Mrs. Moore watching over Lucas's work. "Arrrrg. Work that drill. Move it. Move it."

Funny Lucas had to crawl all under the raised floor to make it secure so the actors wouldn't stumble or fall.

Is this a show about a man eating plant or about a man eating set?

Above, Lucas built one of the pots for our plant puppet to come alive in, and
below is a picture of one of the big plant puppets being built for our upcoming production of Little Shop of Horrors opening October 16th!
