TO ALL MY THESPIANS...

GHONG XI FAH CHAI...HONG PAO NA LAI?!

Here is your one and only Chinese New Year Break homework/assignment...

Make sure to interview your parents or other people you know who moved here to Thailand and left everything behind so that they can start anew. Use the data and info you can gather to make our story more realistic and have more depth.

On an A4/F12/DS/TNR…draft the Second Act (with at least five scenes!) of our storyline already in script form. I have already told you how to write a script and what to focus on when coming up with a story. Do not write a shallow one…you have to really concentrate and focus on this which is why this is your only task for the break. DO NOT LET ME DOWN!

We already know how our Act One ends. Act Two should begin with Paul now 21 and Tina now 17. Their relationship as siblings is okay, however, there seems to be a friction between the father and the son. Ama is getting sick and the economic status in Thailand is having problems.

Some other things you can push in this act will be emergence of the real father, the death of the ama, Paul discovering who his real father is, the added resentment between son towards his parents, the conflict between mom and pop, the conflict between Tina and Paul, confusion, confusion, confusion within their relationships. The ending will be up to you…try not to talk to each other about your ideas so we can have different points of views on our story line and choose the best and most appropriate one.

That's All Folks! Finish all your homework/assignments immediately so you can enjoy your break more...do not procrastinate and leave it off to the weekend before school starts. Take care and be safe always if ever you are going out of town or out of the country...be ready to Rock-N-Roll as soon as we get back...and of course...enjoy your vacation! Try not to miss me too much! Be good and study well...CIAO!!!
