GUIDELINES FOR JUDGE MACFARLANE

It is your responsibility to find a replacement if you are unable to fulfill your assignment, also to notify Harold Monson at 634-0352 f your replacement. If you are unable to reach Harold, leave word with Angie Mason at the St. George Art Museum, 634-5942, ext. 12.  The Day Captain must know the changes before the day of the presentation.

The robe is in a closet in the hall south of the courtroom.  The key to the closet is on a nail on the outside of the door. The gavel and model of the headgate and stone to demonstrate in the trial are on the judge’s bench.

The script contains all the information that you need to cover in your presentation.  The time allotted of 12 minutes prohibits the use of additional stories.  The trial can be a fun change of pace from the other historic presentations. 

Stay in character. Speak in first person as the historical person and begin with the time period indicated in your script. Remember, we are telling ST. GEORGE HISTORY, not crossing the plains.

Let your acting skills shine and make your character come ALIVE — have fun.  Involve the people, especially children

The tour guide will signal you by holding up 2 fingers when you have two minutes remaining.  She has been instructed to interrupt your presentation if you go overtime.  We don’t want tour groups to cancel other scheduled events for the day or miss lunch.  Honor your time commitment and honor the tour guides notification of time.

Thank YOU for sharing your time and talents!  This is a fun way to share our beautiful city and its history.

* Presentations for the school district need to focus on Utah history, not religion.
