This performance guide is designed for teachers to use with students before and after a performance of "Children of the Sun," by N. Scott Momaday. The guide, called a "Cuesheet," is in the form of a Director's Notebook--a scrapbook/journal of clippings, memos, lists, illustrations, notes, and other items--to show students how a director finds and develops ideas to make a playwright's script come to life on stage. The Cuesheet contains 10 sheets for use in class, addressing: (1) The Kiowa (offering background information about the geography and history of the Kiowa, known as the children of the sun god); (2) The Story (presenting a summary of the play, which is based on sacred stories of the Kiowa); (3) Playwright and Composer (with biographies of each and a list of books or recordings by them); (4) Notes to the Cast (offering some lines from the script and a discussion of foreshadowing and anachronisms); (5) Set Design (looking at the role of set design, props, and lighting in telling the story and experiencing its magic and mystery); (6) Costume Design (including some preliminary costume sketches and examining how actors "double" parts and how costumes help express character); and (7) The Audience (discussing the audience's role in live theatre).
