A Day in the Life of Script Writing at Daytime Moon

Yo! Veronica here. It’s been three weeks since I have posted another blog because it was spring break. 

To remind you guys, I want to go over who the cast is again. 

Christine is playing Chef Salsa. Jake A. is playing Jerry Pellegrino. Jake M. is playing Jack Fixer. Luke is playing Patrick the rapper. Maxine is playing Kelly the cook. Nicky is playing Paul Grand. Teddy is playing Drake the caricature artist and entertainer. Sara is playing Max the athlete.

The actors are ready to rehearse!

The rehearsal took place on Saturday as usual at Simple Studios.

Three weeks ago, the actors started writing the script and they chose what they wanted to say in the script. The actors knew their characters already and it made it a lot easier for them to write the script. 

This is Jake A., Jake M., and Nicky showing everybody the scene that they wrote.

Last week, the actors got the first draft of the script and they did a table read because they wanted to practice. Then, they started writing the rest of the scenes. Next week, they should have their final script!

This is Sara, Teddy, and Nicky showing off the scene that they wrote.

They wrote a script themselves because actors don’t normally write their own scripts, but these actors get to write their own scripts and perform it! They do it so they can practice problem solving and being creative. And they love to do it!

The actors come up with the ideas to write the script themselves. The teachers see what they’re interested in and then give prompts to get the actors started writing.  

That’s all for now folks. Until next time!

Oh wait, one more thing, here's a picture of the actors rehearsing. Psst...It's at the bottom of this page!
