Theatre Research Project Help
Imagine you have a client coming to Houston who wants to attend a play while they are here.
Research THREE Houston area theatre venues or theatre companies (not opera, dance, or film)
and answer AT LEAST the prompt questions below about EACH of them. Present your findings
in a report of 1000 words minimum for the entire report. Do NOT copy paste the questions and
answer them, but restate and write out your responses. Use at least three seperate sources for
each of the three theatre company (9 total minimum), and cite your sources using MLA, APA, or
Chicago citation format. (Three different pages from the same website does not constitute three
seperate sources). This an opportunity for you to create an informative, but also eye-catching
report. Think of the report as a way to market these theatres like a product you may be selling
to your client. Include visuals of productions or the theatres themselves.
You will be graded not only on content and depth of research, but on the overall presentation of
your project. Theatre Research Project Help
