Director/Guest Artist/Faculty Program Biography Information for MARISOL

In order for your 100-word biography to appear in the program for this production, you must submit this Web form no later than noon on Friday, March 28, 2008.

You are responsible for correctly spelling all your entries on this form.

We may edit your biography for stylistic consistency, but we won't change the information without your approval. These suggestions may be helpful:

1. Your biography should be professional and not personal. We do not include personal information, dedications, thank yous, etc.

2. Your biography will appear in paragraph form. Write in full sentences.* Every word counts as part of your biography, beginning with your name.

*To conserve words, you might choose to "list" credits after a sentence or two at the first of your biography. For example:

Costume design for film: Casablanca, Ben Hur. Broadway: Hamlet, Guys and Dolls, University of Maryland: Romeo and Juliet, Suburbia = 18 words

3. Your name, as you wish it to appear in the program, must be the first words of your biography. The next words should indicate your (position with this production) and then your faculty, staff, or student status with the Department of Theatre. For example:

Pat Smith (director) is an assistant professor of theatre whose credits ...

4. In subsequent mentions refer to yourself in the third person or by last name.

5. Use credits with which the Department of Theatre audience members may be most familiar.

6. Use full names of productions (The Taming of the Shrew, not Shrew), full names of theatre companies ("Olney Theatre Center for the Arts," not "Olney"), and full names of organizations ("American Society for Theatre Research," not "ASTR").

7. There is no need to indicate that a recent campus production was a Department of Theatre production or in which theatre it was presented. Save your words--most readers will have seen the production and will know this information.

8. Because this Web form will not accommodate italics, indicate italics with underlined spaces before and after the word in the biography box below (for example: _Hamlet_ )

9. Because this Web form will not accommodate accent marks, use the box below the biography box to note words that need an accent marks.
