How does the prologue go again?

One more question, how many pages is the roman comedy supposed to be for its max and minimum.
?

The prologue should look like the example that I put in the syllabus. In general, aim for about 10-20 pages.

Mine is not anywhere near 10 pages. But probably will take about ten mins to act out. Sooooooo what format were you thinking? Also do our music interludes have to be historically accurate?

One question with the Togas, is each director expected to supply togas for each actor, or will each actor bring their own toga?
