What - create a props list pulled from a play
Points - 50
Due - 29 Nov 2020
Instructions:
1. Read a play from the options provided below
2. As you read the play, mark down on the excel sheet provided when a prop is mentioned. Be sure to include the Act #, Scene #, pg #, what the prop is, who uses it, and any notes about the prop. (Does it have to work? If it's food, does it get eaten? Does there need to be actual liquid in the mugs? Does the sink have to drain/run water? etc.)
| Act | Scene | Pg # | What is the prop | Who uses it | Description | Notes |
3. Submit the props list through the Canvas assignment (Can be uploaded as google sheets, excel, or pdf. Please no MAC files.)
Note - I have read all these plays and will be going through to check your work. This is an exercise to see how detailed your reading is and, after weeks of watching plays and talking about live theater, what you think is needed for the production.
It's easiest if you have the sheet up on your computer as you're reading the play so you can enter the props as you're reading, instead of having to go back after you've read the play.
Play options:

"Death of a Salesman": Miller_Salesman-1.pdf
Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman addresses loss of identity and a man's inability to accept change within himself and society. The play is a montage of memories, dreams, confrontations, and arguments, all of which make up the last 24 hours of Willy Loman's life.
"Rabbit Hole": rabbit_hole.pdf
Eight months after the accidental death of their 4-year-old son, Howie and Becca are trying to overcome their grief. He wants to hold on to everything that reminds him of Danny, while she would rather sell their home and make a fresh start. Cracks begin to appear in the relationship as Howie bonds with a member of his therapy group and Becca reaches out to a teenage boy with telling facial scars.
"Family of Mann": the_family_of_mann_theresa_rebeck.pdf
A young writer learns that comedy can be a grim business when she gets a job working on a television sitcom. Her colleagues insist that the show is both decent and real while their world descends into a ferocious madness. The Family of Mann hilariously questions who and what are invited into homes when the television is turned on.
