 Why can't I use my drama binder for another class?
The binder will be used for in-class assignments and for journal entries.  
It's important to have it up to date for grading purposes, and I may want 
you to leave the whole thing.  You would not want your chemistry homework to 
sit in my room for two days.

 Why no spiral notebooks?
Spiral paper comes with the ragged edges that people tear off and leave on 
the floor.

 Why is it such a big deal if someone needs to go to the bathroom?
If you come to my class and need to leave, you miss instructions or 
activities.  The class must wait while someone fills you in on what you 
missed, or your group sits around until you get back.  DON'T GO 
TO YOUR LOCKER BETWEEN EVERY CLASS AND YOU'LL HAVE TIME TO 
GET TO THE 
BATHROOM.  If you have an emergency, of course I will let you go, but 
emergencies are by nature rare.

 What if I forget something in my locker or my computer or printer dies?
If you don't bring needed materials to class you don't have it that day.  If 
you work on something at home and your printer isn't working, email it to me 
immediately and you'll get credit for having done it.  If your computer is 
completely dead, write out the assignment longhand, but the dead computer 
excuse has a limited life.

 What are auditions like?
When you arrive you will be asked to fill out an audition sheet with some 
basic information about yourself, and it is very helpful to attach a recent 
picture if I don't know you.  I will ask you to deliver your monolog and that's it!  I 
may ask you to do one or two other things, but don't read anything good or bad 
into that.Friday morning there will be a callback list, and callbacks are Friday 
afternoon.  The final cast lists, regular and understudy, go up on Monday.

 Can I get service hours for helping with the play?
Freshmen only.  Everyone else gets that wonderful feeling of satisfaction 
that you achieve when you go nuts.
