This performance guide is designed for teachers to use with students before and after a performance of "Borrowed Black: A Labrador Fantasy," by the Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia. The guide, called a "Cuesheet," contains seven reproducible activity sheets for use in class, addressing: (1) The Story (orienting students to the characters and places of the story, and with a basic story outline); (2) Before Attending the Performance (on creating the characters, problems to solve, creating the character "Borrowed Black," creating a Borrowed Black puppet, and myths and legends about the moon); (3) After Attending the Performance (with activities such as interviewing characters and writing newspapers articles about them, and with questions to consider); and (4) Theater: A Collaborative Art (describing the audience's role in a performance). Resources for further exploration are listed. (SR)
