Abstract

The main goal of this project was to create something for people who are interested in theatre but are not sure how to get involved. I wanted it to be a sort of behind-the-scenes look into what goes into putting together a staged production. The Documentary follow the College of Wooster’s Theatre department as they prepare for their production of Boeing Boeing in October of 2024. It includes the perspectives of people working both on and off stage in order to make this show the best that it can be. The documentary is in two parts, the first being before the show is performed and the second being after the show has finished its final performance.

In addition to the documentary there is also a written portion of this project, that includes four chapters. The first chapter being an introduction, in which I explain in detail exactly what made me want to do this project in the first place. The second chapter is a literature review, for which I did extensive research about theatre and film, before writing about what I learned from my collection of sources. The third chapter dives into my methodology for the creation of the documentary. It goes through my process in detail and explains what I did, and how I did it. The fourth and final chapter of the written portion of this project is the critical reflection chapter. This chapter explains why I made the choices that I made. It also goes into a detailed reflection of my work, both what I liked and what I would do differently if I were to do this again.
