Here’s my attempt at a new schedule for the upcoming weeks and spring semester. As the work progresses, I’ll be setting more specific deadlines and dates (for things such as interviews, transcripts, and page counts).

 

Through 12/19:

• Submit IRB paperwork
• Continue background research on playwriting and documentary theatre
• Create interview questions

Over winter break:

• Finalize interview questions
• Schedule all interviews and complete some (if possible)
• Outline general structure of play
• Decide on what research will be used as founded text and being crafting

February:

• Complete all interviews and transcriptions
• Complete 5-10 pages of founded text/documentary theatre elements of the play

March:

• Incorporate interview transcripts with founded text research
• Finalize “acts” (“themes”) that will provide the structure of the play
• Complete footnotes/works cited for the play
• Begin editing play

April:

• Continue editing play as needed
• Post completed play on eportfolio
