Stuyvesant: Monologue Analysis
For the set I think that it should look like a school, because in the students stories the main point is focused around the school. Either they were at school when the plane crashed into the World Trade Center or they talked about the school Brooklyn Tech that they had to go to for a while while it was unsafe to go to Stuyvesant. In the script it said that the actors don’t leave the stage at all. It would be cool if they were all sitting in a classroom or in a courtyard, like we have at DSA. For each character’s monologue, there should be a single spotlight shining down on them, I think that would be really cool. For the costumes, each character’s appearance is described right before their monologue. For example, for the character Jennifer Suri, who is an assistant principal and Social Studies teacher at Stuyvesant, they describe her as “thin, with long red hair... pulled back with a barrette...

So would she be extra protective and stuff in the conversation with Mohammad? Would she treat him and other middle-eastern students differently then the rest? I wonder how different the two interview would be if they were both sitting in the same
