Name: Dead Poets Society:
Plot: In 1959, the Welton Academy is a staid but well-respected prep school where education is a pragmatic and rather dull affair. Several of the students, however, have their thoughts on the learning process (and life itself) changed when a new teacher comes to the school. Mr. Taylor is an unconventional educator who tears chapters of her textbooks. Mr. Taylor introduces her students to poetry, and her free-thinking attitude and the liberating philosophies of the authors she introduces to her class have a profound effect on her students, especially Jillian, who would like to be a writer; Olina, who dreams of being an dancer, despite the objections of his father; Bethany, who begins to lose her blasé attitude. Mr. Taylor urges her students to seize the day and live their lives boldly; but when this philosophy leads to an unexpected tragedy, headmaster Mrs. Smith fires Mr. Taylor, and her students leap to her defense.

排練過程中,全劇組人員認真投入各自的工作。同學之間常常互相交流探讨對角色的把握,思考怎樣的表演才更能充分表現人物的特點和心理狀态,并且又能讓觀衆融入劇情,會心一笑;同時大家也互相提建議,不斷地充實劇情,也讓大家的表演更加的完善。由于本劇是一個喜劇,表演形式相對比較幽默诙諧,同學們常常會被對方的表演逗笑。不過到正式上場的時候,大家都非常專注地表演,全身心投入角色中。
初賽結束後,劇組人員就是否配音、道具、劇情安排等展開了激烈的讨論。最後,劇本修改完善結束,我們敲定了最終劇本,并決定采用配音的方式。盡管難度加大,但是同學們都對本班的表演充滿信心,相信會在決賽當天給大家不一樣的感受,讓大家在歡笑的同時也有所收獲!
