New York Project

New York Project

The assignment is to write a five paragraph paper in which you plan a theatre trip to New York City
to see
FOUR
shows
. To complete this work, use internet sources, the most thorough of which is the
New York Times
Theater section (see
bel
ow for this and other options).
The
first paragraph
should explain the trip’s rationale, who will be going with you (church group, theatre group,
friends, etc), and a proposed budget. You should then find possible flights and hotel accommodations.
In
each subsequent paragraph
(paragraphs 2, 3, 4, and 5)
,
name the shows (four in total
—
one per paragraph) you
have decided to see. Include in
each
paragraph the reason y
ou have chosen to see this particular show. Y
ou will
need
to
quote portions of review
s, both professiona
l and reader’s, as part of your
justification for your choice.
Be sure to cite the
name of the reviewer as well as the source from which the review was found. (Example: Ben Brantley of the New York
Times calls
Shrek the Musical
, “Quo
te from review.”
—
or similar format.)
It is not necessary to provide a “Works Cited”
page, but you must reference your source within your paper as noted in the previous sentence.
You must also include ticket
prices and the theater where the show is pla
ying, as well as an
y other pertinent information (
such as a prominent actor in the
cast, etc.)
.
Be sure to follow your budget; try not to plan to see four Broadway musicals as this could eat up your budget very
quickly. Mix and match with Off and Off Of
f Broadway, where the tickets are cheaper. Try to find at least one or two shows
you have never heard of but which sound interesting because of your research into the reviews.
