Theatre Review
Similar to film and music reviews which analyze and
critique the whole work, a review of a play or musical should

of elements. The purpose of a review is to provide a potential
audience with an unbiased opinion of the production, supported
by facts.
This last written assignment requires you to attend one UT
Department of Theatre and Film production this semester – The
name of the play: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST.
This assignment is to analyze and critique the production, using
theatrical terminology, not merely “liking or disliking” the play
(do not turn in a rewritten version of the plot summary)

introduction, body and conclusion. Elements that could be
discussed in this review (but are not limited by) include:
· introductory material: name of the play or production,

conclusion or overall impression of the production

2. This Theater review should be based on the live theatrical

CRISIS BRIEFING ASSIGNMENT
COMMUNICATION 2201 – CZEREPINSKI

3. 1. Prepare and deliver a 5-minute crisis briefing presentation
based on an actual organizational crisis that has occurred within
the last two years. That is, the public perceived that something
bad had happened and that the organization was more or less
responsible for the “something bad.” You will be assuming the
role of a highly placed representative and you will be speaking
to the press at a time that the crisis is ongoing.
2. Research the crisis in as wide a variety of sources as
possible. A minimum of four of the sources you consult must
be listed as bibliographic citations at the end of your outline.
3. Identify and analyze the audience(s) of the time to identify:
(1) the affected stakeholders and publics, (2) the perceived level
of severity in the situation, (3) the perceived level of
organizational responsibility
4. Choose the Crisis Communication Strategies (p. 189) that are
most appropriate for the circumstances and employ them in your
briefing in a way that will:
a. restore the positive public image of your organization
b. reassure the public that they are being protected
c. protect the interests of your organization
d. be credible for both the immediate audience and the general
public
5. Provide evidence from outside the organization to logically
support the strategies you use and be certain that the audience
knows when, and whom, you’re quoting. Assuming the identity
of someone who spoke eloquently about the crisis DOES NOT
allow you to quote them (or anyone else) without telling the

4. audience you’re doing so.
6. In the introduction briefly describe the development of the
crisis to the present moment. Be specific about when you are
speaking in relation to the crisis-precipitating event(s). Also,
identify yourself and your position in the organization.
7. In the conclusion, re-invoke the main points of your
strategy(ies) and then call for questions.
8. Deliver the speech extemporaneously striving for eye contact
80% of the time.
9. Submit your outline electronically on Moodle and bring the
printed Turnitin Originality Report outline, on the day you
speak, in hard copy to class. It must include:
a. labels on eachcrisis communication strategy used (by hand on
the hard copy only)
b. an audience analysis paragraph as per #3 above that also
identifies the persuasive structure
c. correct, complete citations for at least four sources
d. your completed Checklist (hard copy only)
