Getting the ball rolling...guidelines.

I forgot the login for this, haha. But now I'm back. Now, you're asking, "What is she doing?"
This is a dramaturgy production blog, for a theatre history class at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA. Students have been given guidelines as far as writing two posts per topic, and writing it as if we were in that time and place of which we are commentating. For the majority of this course, it places us in-between medieval and early-modern theatrical studies.
