During the rehearsal process, Tyler Woods worked with the students on a fully hands-on approach to all aspects of this
production. This included student involvement and leadership in the areas of music, dance, scenic and technical elements for
the show. The process began with a three week study of the text, moving towards blocking and design, set construction,
lighting and sound. The students wrote their own music for Shakespeare's lyrics, and performed live throughout the show. In
the spirit of collaborative theatre, each student had a job to do and there were no repeats or double and triple casting. Each
student auditioned and showed an interest in their particular assignment fitting the needs of the production.
