Name: Date:

Topic: Noises Off

Angle: Noises Off entertaining play

Script IN (for anchor): A story of blarney is what you’ll find…when you see what Natalie’s been digging up about the spring play-Noises Off

Stand up: For the past couple of months, many students here at Eastview have spent much time and effort into making this year’s spring production of Noises Off an entertaining one

1st Interview: Noises Off id a play about a bunch of people doing a play and they are terrible. In fact, they are so bad that they can’t remember where the props are, they can’t remember whose supposed to come out, its almost a choreographed play. It a lot of fun!

Segue: The cast put in a lot of extra time to make their play so successful

2nd Interview: Quiet a lot of preparation. We’re here every night after school-we have been for the past couple of months. Tuesday nights we stay late, till 8, and weekends doing tech hours. A lot of hard work, but it’s going to pay off in the end and be a great show

Segue: Besides all the hard work there are other reasons why people should see Noises Off

3rd Interview: One of the reasons you should see this play is because it’s really entertaining. People’s pants fall off, I get a plate of sardines on my head and people run around with an axe trying to kill each other. It’s really fun

Close: Good luck to everyone
Reporting for the Flash, I’m Natalie.

Script OUT (for anchor): Thanks Natalie. It looks like Noises Off is going to as exciting as Christmas. Be sure to get your tickets this week to see the show
