Curtains Up On Putting a Performance Together
Every DCT performance you see is the result of many people working together to create a play. You see the cast perform on stage, but there are people behind the scenes that you do not see who help before, during, and after every production.
The DIRECTOR
Determines the overall look of the performance.
Guides the actors in stage movement and character interpretation.
Works with designers to plan the lights and sounds, scenery, costumes and makeup, and stage actions.
The CREW
The DESIGNERS
Plan the lights, sounds, scenery, costumes, make-up, and actions to help bring the director’s vision to life.
There are also designers who work to create the posters, advertisements, programs, and other media for the performance.
Build and operate the scenery, costumes, props, and light and sound during the performance.
The AUDIENCE
The STAGE MANAGER
Before the performance, they create a cue sheet to guide the crew in getting set pieces on and off the stage during the performances.
During the performance, the stage manager uses this cue sheet to direct people and things as they move on and off the stage.
The CAST
Includes all of the performers who present the story on stage.
That’s right! There can be no performance without you—the audience. The role of the audience is unique because you experience the entertainment with the performers and backstage crew. You are a collaborator in the performance and it is important to learn your role so you can join all the people who work to create this Dallas Children’s Theater production.
Curtains Up On The Role of the Audience
Watching a play is different from watching television or a sporting event. When you watch T.V., you may leave the room or talk at any time. At a sporting event you might cheer and shout and discuss what you’re seeing. Your role as a member of the audience in a play means you must watch and listen carefully because:
• You need to concentrate on what the actors are saying.
• The actors are affected by your behavior because they share the room with you. Talking and moving around can make it difficult for them to concentrate on their roles.
• Extra noises and movement can distract other audience members.
Activity Give it a Try
ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR ROLE IN THIS PERFORMANCE?
Check the box next to the statements that describe proper etiquette for an audience member.
q Try your best to remain in your seat once the performance has begun.
q Share your thoughts out loud with those sitting near you.
q Wave and shout out to the actors on stage.
q Sit on your knees or stand near your seat.
q Bring snacks and chewing gum to enjoy during the show.
q Reward the cast and crew with applause when you like a song or dance, and at the end of the show.
q Arrive on time so that you do not miss anything or disturb other audience members when you are being seated.
q Keep all hands, feet, and items out of the aisles during the performance.
Activity Give it a Try
Draw a picture of what the audience might look like from the stage. Consider your work from the viewpoint of the actors on stage. How might things look from where they stand?
Write a letter to an actor telling what you liked about their character.
Write how you think it might feel to be one of the actors. Are the actors aware of the audience? How might they feel about the reactions of the audience today? How would you feel before the play began? What about after the show ends?

Curtains Up After the Performance
Attending a play is an experience unlike any other entertainment experience. Because a play is presented live, it provides a unique opportunity to experience a story as it happens. Dallas Children’s Theater brings stories to life though its performances. Many people are involved in the process. Playwrights adapt the stories you read in order to bring them off the page and onto the stage. Designers and technicians create lighting effects so that you can feel the mood of a scene. Carpenters build the scenery and make the setting of the story become a real place, while costumers and make-up designers can turn actors into the characters you meet in the stories. Directors help actors bring the story to life and make it happen before your very eyes. All of these things make seeing a play very different from television, videos, or computer games.
TEACHER TIP
Hold a class discussion when you return from the performance. Ask students the following questions and allow them to write or draw pictures of their experience at DCT.
• What was the first thing you noticed when you entered the theater?
• What did you notice first on the stage?
• What about the set? Draw or tell about things you remember. Did the set change during the play? How was it moved or changed?
• Was there any space besides the stage where action took place?
• How did the lights set the mood of the play? How did they change throughout? What do you think the house lights are? How do they differ from the stage lights? Did you notice different areas of lighting?
• What did you think about the costumes? Do you think they fit the story? What things do you think the costume designers had to consider before creating the costumes?
• Was there music in the play? How did it add to the performance?
• What about the actors? Do you think they were able to bring the characters to life? Did you feel caught up in the story? What things do you think the actors had to work on in order to make you believe they were the characters?
Curtains Up On Adaptation
An adaptation is a change made in something so that it can fit a new use. Pete the Cat is an adaptation of a book series, which is meant to be read, into a play, which is meant to be performed and viewed. Sarah Hammond and Will Aronson took the work of James Dean and Kimberly Dean and adapted it so that it could be performed for an audience on stage.
Consider these questions for discussion before you attend the DCT production:
• What kinds of things did Sarah Hammond and Will Aronson have to consider in writing a script, music, and lyrics of the books?
• What kinds of things would James Dean and Kimberly Dean be concerned about with an adaptation of their books?
• Do you think the performance will be shorter or longer than the books?
• What will the characters look like? How will they match the illustrations? What differences can you expect?
• What about the story? What changes might you expect in adapting it for the stage? Why would these changes be necessary?
After the performance, consider these questions:
• Were there any characters or events that were in the books but not in the play? Why do you think these choices were made?
• Did the changes make the story stronger or was it weaker because of them?
• What do you think the set and costume designers need to consider when bringing the story to the stage?
• What things helped to tell the story on stage? Use the following template to illustrate the similarities and differences between the book series and DCT’s performance of Pete the Cat.

Curtains Up on the Authors/Illustrators, Playwright/Lyricist, and Composer
JAMES DEAN is the original creator and illustrator of Pete the Cat. He is a self-taught artist originally from Fort Payne, Alabama. His passion for drawing became apparent at a young age, and as a child, you could find James drawing his favorite characters like Snoopy and Yogi Bear.
James earned his degree in electrical engineering from Auburn University and went on to work for Georgia Power for a number of years. Eventually, he was called to pursue his art full-time and began selling his work at art festivals around the Southeast. It was during this time that he began creating paintings and drawing of his cat, Pete. The little blue cat showed up as a character in James’s artwork around 1999 and has been a permanent fixture ever since.
James Dean’s art has been sold in more than ninety galleries and shops across the United States. He has devoted his paintings to Pete the Cat for fifteen years and turned his natural love for cats into his life’s work. James published his first book, The Misadventures of Pete the Cat, a history of his artwork, in 2006; and he illustrated his first self-published children’s book, Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, in 2008. There are now almost 100 published Pete the Cat titles with more coming out all the time. James is humbled every day by the success that this groovy blue cat has brought him. He says positively affecting children’s lives is his number one priority, and he is grateful to have such an amazing audience to work for.

In Pete the Cat, Jimmy is feeling very anxious. He’s so anxious he even crawls under the couch to hide from the stress in his life. Do you ever feel anxious (we all do!)? Do you sometimes want to hide from stressful things, like Jimmy? You may not have a Pete in your life (who will help you come out from under the couch), but there are other things you can do to help relieve your stress. Try some of these ideas when your anxiety starts to feel so overwhelming you just want to hide…

Curtains Up On Art
Although Jimmy discovers that he doesn’t need magic to create art, the “magic” glasses did inspire him to see the world around him in a different way. Now it’s your turn to paint (or draw, sculpt, etc.) the beauty you view in your very own classroom through your “magic” glasses.
Oh what a view I wish you could see Suddenly everything’s beautiful to me It’s like woah oh man, a magic world.
Activity Art
Magic World Art
You will need:
• Paint, brushes, paper or
• Clay (or another sculpting material) or
• Crayons, markers, paper or
• Crafting or recycled material (or any other kind of artistic medium you deem appropriate)
Begin by putting on your “magic” glasses (use your hands to make a binocular-type shape to look through). Look around the classroom: what do you see? What are you inspired to recreate in a work of art? Be creative and make something unique (will you draw, paint, or sculpt something out of clay or recycled materials?)! When everyone is done creating their artwork, display the pieces around the room and go on an art walk. Don’t forget to celebrate everyone’s different and beautiful perspectives!
