What's been happening
Nothing yet. Get to work.
In the room
Quiet. Say hi.
★ Our north star
Gorgeous
Make pictures the audience can't shake.
Movement
Tell the story with bodies, not just mouths.
Message
Give them something to argue about on the way home.
Professional
They should forget you're in high school.
The Roadmap
May → October. Six phases. Four hard deadlines. One opening night.
The Phases
Six months, broken into six chunks. Pick one.
Premise + Cast
The premise. The 4 leads (you 3 + 1 outsider). The 8 supporting roles.
Our premise
We haven't locked one yet. When we do, it lives right here, big and proud.
The 4 leads
The ensemble
Haven't decided yet. We pick in Phase 1, Session 4.
Three options: 8 distinct people · A collective (chorus / narrators) · A bit of both
Quick math: 9 of us in class (you three + 6 others). Outside auditioners welcome. 12 roles total — 4 leads, 8 supporting. The 8 can be distinct characters, narrators, a chorus — whatever shape fits the play.

The Chat
Real-time. Talk to whoever's in the room.
It's quiet in here.
Say something to break the ice.
The Scene Wall
Drag-drop scene cards. Color them. Move them. This is how rooms actually plan.
Act 1 0
Act 2 0
The Co-Write Pad
A shared notepad for whoever wants to draft together. Everyone can type, everyone sees it.
The Tribe Knows…
Theatre's old superstitions and rituals. Now you know.
The Workbook
Everything in your packet — read it here, or grab a copy to scribble on.
Day One Packet
The welcome letter, the three rules, the three books, the Pact you'll sign, the worksheets, and your first watch assignment. Read it on screen below, or download to print and fill in.

The Room
Always open. Hop in whenever — for office hours, scene work, or just to feel less alone while you write.
Tap "Join the room" to enter.
The video starts loading once you join — keeps things light when you're not using it. Cameras and mics begin muted; turn them on when you're ready.
