    This document provides instructions for students to create a proscenium stage model out of cereal boxes. Students will need cereal boxes, glue, markers, and other craft materials. They will transform the cereal boxes into a two-part stage model by cutting openings and adding additional elements like curtains and backdrops. Students will work in groups and label different areas of the stage on their model like the apron, stage right/left, upstage and downstage areas. Their stage models will be graded based on correctly demonstrating knowledge of stage areas and following the instructions.

    The instructions show how to build a cereal box theater by using two cereal boxes and following specific cutting and assembly steps to create a proscenium stage model.

    The first cereal box is cut to form the proscenium arch and stage floor. The second cereal box forms the fly space and backdrop. Specific steps are provided to cut openings, form flaps, attach curtains and the two boxes together.

    The parts that need to be labeled are the apron, the 9 areas of the stage (upstage, downstage, onstage, offstage, backstage), and other stage terminology if included in notes.

    the cereal box.
    B. DO NOT CUT THE BOTTOM OF THE FLAP OFF THE BOX.
    C. Fold the flap down to form the apron of the stage.
    2. Draw on the flap to make an apron.
    A. The apron may be rectangular or circular.
    B. Carefully cut the apron from the tab on the box.
    3. Measure 1 ½” around the other side of the cereal box and cut an opening on the other side of
    the cereal box.
    A. This tab will make the stage floor of your theatre.
    4. Design a proscenium: color, cut out, and glue the pieces to the front of the cereal box.
