Katy A. Conti, MA  281-229-6600I miss you guys so much!  Hope everyone is doing well!  While we are having this extended stay away from school, I have put together some theatre activities for you to work on and enjoy.  Have fun and be creative!  That is the name of the game.

I am going to have "office hours" of 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, but please feel free to email me at any time kconti@dickinsonisd.org. 

For those of you interested, you can purchase Dunbar's yearbook at Balfour.com.  Search yearbooks and then look for Dunbar Middle School. 

Assignments by week beginning March 18- April 10

NEW********** A script!

I have the first act of the "25 minute or so Alice and Wonderland" spoof for you all to look at!  It is hilarious, sort of in the style of the "Oliver", "Hamlet", and "Trojan War" we have read previously.

I will add to the script as we go, but please read through the first act and look at the list of characters.  Email me and let me know three characters that you could be interested in portraying.  I am certain you will enjoy the play.  This should be complete by Wednesday, April 1!
