Dissendium 2.0

FORMAT: Log.
WHO: Rhys Barbary, Bilius Weasley, Gun Kettleburn, and Payton Prewitt.
WHEN: December 11, 1975.
WHERE: The Hogwarts Theatre.
WHAT: Bit of 69er &co. banter from Midsummer.

( Rhys was thrilled. Rhys was giddy. Rhys vaguely hoped they didn’t actually make Rupert cry (though it’d be kind of funny if they did, after the fact). )

FORMAT: IC/OOC Log, threaded. Again, examples here and here!
WHO: The Theatre Club (Jeana Wood, Fiona Avery, Sirius Black, CJ Costantin, Lily Evans, Lucy Goyle, Tim Harbourne, Benjy Fenwick, Matt Jepsen, Cici Jorkins, George Lempke, Annie Lufkin, Devin Lyle, Maeve Macmillan, Lee Mackenzie, Cliffy Maddock, Elena Pangborn, Alice Prewitt, Fabian Prewitt, Viola Vicente-Castenada, other NPCs)
WHEN: Yesterday after dinner.
WHERE: The once and future Hogwarts theatre, which has been cleaned extensively from its decades of disuse.
WHAT: The first rehearsal of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Rupert began the rehearsal by giving some basic Shakespearean context and explaining the overall plot of the play, having the club members give the answers whenever possible. After the background, he had everyone split up into groups: the tech crew, the Athenians (Theseus, Hippolyta, Egeus, Lysander, Demetrus, Hermia, Helena and Philostrate), the Fae (Oberon, Titania, Puck, Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Moth, and Mustardseed) and the Mechanicals (Peter Quince, Nick Bottom, Francis Flute, Robin Starveling, Tom Snout and Snug the Joiner). He had the tech crew begin brainstorming the things they would need to develop for the show. He had each of the groups of actors go through their lines and rewrite them in modern English, to help reading comprehension. They were encouraged to help each other with their translations. When everyone had finished their interpretations, he organized everyone into a large circle, and they did a read through of the original text, hopefully using the understanding they had gained from their translations.
