Districts Festival. I Mean Regionals!

REGIONAL FESTIVAL - It's Virtual

Dec 17-19, 2020

What's Going On?

• Instead of Districts this year, Florida has been broken down into 4 REGIONS.

• District 14 will be joining Districts 4 and 9 to create the SW Region.

• All events will be PRE-RECORDED.

When Is This Happening?

• Oct 20-Nov 20 : Registration Window.

• All events must be uploaded to the FLThespian server by Nov 30.

• I'll create deadlines for us.

• Musicals: Solo, Duet, and Group

• Tech: Costume Design, Costume Construction, Scene Design, Publicity Direction

• Student Directed Scene

• All of the rules are at https://floridathespians.com/general-rules/

How Many Events Can I Enter?

• You can enter up to 3 different events.

• You can not enter the same event twice (ex: you can't be in two different Duet Musicals)

• Our troupe can enter up to EIGHT of the same event this year (ex: we can't submit more than 8 monologues, or 8 duet acting scenes, etc.)

I'm New. I'm Scared. Should I Enter?

• Yes. Do it!

• Everybody started with a first year.

• Seriously. Every Thespian should enter.

• I will be sad if you don't. Please don't make me sad.

Will We Workshop Scenes?

• Yes! I can and will workshop scenes with you over Zoom.

• Or, I can workshop a scene you upload and give you feedback.

What are the Rules About Recording Things?

Can I Record at School?

• Current Pasco County rules do NOT permit us to rehearse or record indoors at WCHS without masks or social distancing.

• You can record yourself at home, or another location if you like.

• It is up to you and your parents the lengths to which you socially distance &/or wear masks outside of school.

• You CAN socially distance your scene, and make a note for the judges that "this scene is socially distanced."

• Please. Please stay safe.

How Much Will it Cost?

• $30 per student.

• It actually costs more, but we'll be using some of our Thespian treasury reserves to keep the event affordable during this challenging financial time.

One Acts

• We are not submitting a One Act this year.

Will There Be a States?

• Yes. It will be virtual, too.

• And you can advance to States.

• More on that later!

We will talk more about this at our next Wednesday Zoom meeting. See you there!
