Practice! Practice! Practice!

It is time for students to "get off book". This is the theater way of saying learn your lines. Students need to be practicing their lines for a few minutes every day. The best way for a student to practice is for them to have a partner read their "cue", the line before their line, and for them to then say their line and so on. It is important that students become familiar with the line before their line as opposed to just memorizing their own lines.
