What an A looks like:
The prologue explains the significance of the scene to the work as a whole.
All of the players know their lines, but some prompting is acceptable.
The players have thought about their characters-- how they say what they say, how they react to what is said to them, and what they might be doing while all of this is going on.
The players are aware of the dramatic nature of the scene-- what's at stake, what the problem is, and what characters are trying to accomplish in the scene.
The sets and costuming (or lack of them) contribute to the drama appropriately.
Good actors are committed to the scene and demonstrate that commitment through the energy they bring to the performance.
Senior Project
Your character should be one of the "leads" in the scene.
Your lines should be memorized.
You should have a lead role in directing the scene.
