Children's Theatre Critique Essay Format

A handout for theatre class critiques

CHILDREN'S THEATRE CRITIQUE

First Paragraph: Write a two-sentence summary of the play. If there is a sub-plot, write a two-sentence summary of it.

Second Paragraph: What was the moral of the play? Be sure to relate it to the characters and action of the play. Be specific

Third & Fourth Paragraphs: The ingredients for children's theatre are as follows: music, dance, action, color, and interesting but not too scary characters. Pick two of them, one for each paragraph, explaining why each is important and if this production made both work. Again, give details.

Fifth Paragraph: Pick one of the characters you liked most and why. What did the actor/actress do to create their role? What choices did they make to create this believable character?
