What This Game Reviews
The proscenium stage, projection, stage right versus house right, the ghost light and upstaging; monologues, asides, subtext, showing a feeling on stage and the logline; yes-and, obstacles, backstory, cold reading and emotion memory; the Greek festivals, the Globe’s groundlings, commedia dell’arte, Thespis and Noh; the costume designer, blackouts, decibels, the fresnel and the teaser; understudies, a dark theater night, cheating out, the counter-cross and the dramaturg; and a Final Question that puts three moments of theater history in order. The questions review lessons from my high school drama sub plans, and the game works just as well on its own for any 9th to 12th grade drama or theater class.
Made for Grades 9 to 12
The questions are short and climb from beginner terms at $100 to harder ones at $500: the proscenium stage and the costume designer at the start, emotion memory, Noh theater and the dramaturg at the top. Playing needs no acting: teams answer out loud or write their answer down. Every question is editable, so you can swap any of them for the terms your class uses.
Play It Without a Projector
Print the question cards double-sided and cut them apart. Lay them question-down on the table so students see only the category and the dollar value, just like the board. A student picks a card, a partner reads the question and checks the answer printed on the card. The same cards work for pairs, stations and small groups, and for a sub day.
Daily Double and Final Question
The Daily Double hides behind one cell on the board. The team that picks it wagers any amount up to their total before seeing the question, and doubles that wager if they answer correctly. When the board is cleared, every team writes down a Final Question wager, the question is shown, and teams add or lose their wager. Highest total wins.
Works On
Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks. Project the slides. No student devices or logins required.
Important
Play in Slideshow (Present) mode so every cell, button, and link works. The sound buttons (thumbs up, thumbs down, and music) work in the PowerPoint version, which is included here. Google Slides does not play sounds, so those buttons are simply decorative in the Slides version.
