Local Theaters Putting On Any Good Plays?

Hey folks. I'm attempting to take my students to see a play this year. Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time finding an appropriate play to attend. Studio Arena doesn't have anything I'm interested in, nor does Kavinoky. Does anyone else know of any good theaters that I could look into? I've been bumping around UB, Buffalo State, etc. and can't find much, but I'm not averse to attending a play at a college within an hours drive. Let me know if you have any ideas.

iMovie Ideas for Oedipus Rex

Jackie and Frank...this started off as a comment in the last post, but I wanted to embed two videos so I made a new post...

We just got our network up and running, and I'm in the iMovie planning stages. I'm thinking one of two options:

1. Sock Puppet scenes - Using iMovie and voiceover narrative to do some sock puppet drama...maybe reader's theater or something but heavily utilizing the camera and close ups, etc.

2. Speech interpretations - Students would take a 10-15 line (or possibly lengthier) speech, record the voice-over and then visually interpret the lines. I'm just struggling with what they would film. I definitely want to avoid simply their face on camera while reading, and I don't want to go the imported still from the internet route. Maybe filming drawings? Not sure.

A few years ago I had students find important quotes from a Ray Chandler story (Cathedral, I believe), illustrate those quotes, and then film the illustrations. It worked out pretty well, although the film as a whole doesn't make much sense...hee hee.




The "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" Video we watched last week was kind of the same concept. Here's the video. It's on Youtube, so you'll have to check it out at home.




Frank...what kind of help do you need?
