    • Lesson Duration: Three class periods
    Lesson sumary:
    • Students will discuss careers involved in
    putting on a theatrical production and choose

    Onscreen questions.

    • Lesson Plan
    Student Objectives
    • • Identify careers in the theater and understand
    their primary responsibilities.
    • • Describe tasks and challenges involved in a
    career by performing that role in a classroom
    play.
    Materials
    • • Careers On Stage and On Air video
    • • Computer with Internet access
    Procedures
    • 1) Ask students if they’ve ever been part of a
    play or theatrical production. What role did
    they have? Talk about how, although the
    actors are the most visible participants in a
    play, many people behind the scenes are
    involved.
    New Vocabulary.
    • Director: Interprets the script and sets the vision of the
    play. Directs actors as to how to perform their roles,
    providing instructions regarding their movement and body
    language, tone, and expressions to clearly convey the work
    to the audience.
    • Playwright
    • Actor
    • Set designer
    • Costume designer
    • Stage manager
    • Sound technician
    • Lighting technician

    • *We can also include a game (puzzle, crosswords)


    • 2. Their assignment will be to work in groups
    to produce and perform a simple play: a single
    scene from a well-known fairy tale. For the
    rest of this period, they will select a scene,
    choose roles, and write the scene. During the
    next period, they’ll rehearse and develop a
    simple set and costumes. During the third
    period, they’ll perform their scene for the
    other group.
    • 3. Have each group choose a fairy tale and a
    scene. To save time, you may want to make
    suggestions:
    Goldilocks and the Three Bears
    Three Little Pigs
    Little Red Riding Hood
    Cinderella
    The Tortoise and the Hare
    Hansel and Gretel
    4. Once students have selected a scene, have
    them select the tasks each one will perform in
    the production. Encourage students to help
    each other, no matter their roles.
    5. Give each group a box of simple materials for
    the set, props, costumes, lighting, and sound.
    Encourage them to think about how they
    might use these materials and anything else
    they might need to bring in the next day.
    6. During the next period, have the group rehearse the
    play. At the same time, the set designer and costume
    designer should be working on their tasks. Have the
    groups come together for a quick dress rehearsal at
    the end of the period.
    7. During the final period, have the groups perform their
    scenes. Then ask them to talk about the importance
    of each role. What did they find most challenging?
    • 8. Conclude by discussing other theater careers:
    producers, makeup artists, hairdressers,
    understudies, producers, etc. In addition, many
    careers related to the theater may not be in the
    productions, such as theater critics, theater
    historians, publicity teams, publication editors,
    agents, acting coaches, theater managers, and box
    office managers.
