What is required for a successful Isaiah Thomas - Patriot
We developed Isaiah Thomas -
to be a unique
that can be employed and enjoyed by teachers and students alike. This play
can be performed almost anywhere successfully. However, we would like to
offer the following suggestions to help insure your performance will be
both memorable and effective.
Before the performance, with your class:
Review the introductory material in the Curriculum Guide
At the performance we will need:
A performance area with no through traffic or other activities
taking place in it, if possible (bells hushed, no intercom announcements)
A table (3'x6' or comparable size) set up on the left hand side of
the performance area for Isaiah to put his books and papers on
Good general lighting (spot lighting in not necessary)
A small group (50-75 is ideal, 100 maximum) of quiet, eager
students anticipating an entertaining, educational presentation.
On the day of the performance "Isaiah" will need:
A private space (preferable one that locks) in which he can change
into his costume and put on his makeup.
