“The Office’s” mockumentary style used for Blue
Ridge CC Theatre Department’s spring film
production of “Medea”

Get ready to laugh at a tragedy as the Blue Ridge Community College Theatre
Department premieres its spring production of “The Making of Medea: The
Musical? The Movie!” on Friday, April 22 via YouTube.
Produced as a “mockumentary” filmed in a fashion similar to NBC’s “The
Office,” this pre-recorded production turns the classic Greek tragedy of
“Medea” into a comical affair.
According to Theatre Department faculty Jennifer Treadway, the continuous
presence of COVID-19 made switching their usual live, onstage production to a
film all the more simple.
“Live theatre is still taking a huge hit, because if even one of our cast – of an
onstage production – gets COVID, countless others will have to quarantine and
it just puts the entire production on hold,” Treadway stated.
Contrary to a live production, a video has multiple benefits, Treadway said,
including the flexibility of time schedules for actors. Also, since each scene can
be filmed in any order, there’s never a time when the entire cast has to be
present at once.
The classic Greek tragedy “Medea” centers around the titular character as the
wife of Jason, of “Jason and the Argonauts.” When Jason leaves Medea for
another woman, Medea kills his new wife and her own two sons as revenge.
The College’s “Medea” plot will center around a college theatre department
attempting to put on the traditional onstage “Medea” play.
“Since it’s a mockumentary, viewers will get to see all the wild antics that
happen when a theatre department tries to put on a play,” Treadway said. “So
it’s more about the people putting it on rather than the play ‘Medea’ itself.”
To maintain the semblance of a mockumentary and to collect b-roll footage,
the auditions and rehearsals were filmed and will be included in a portion of the
final version. The first rehearsal took place on Feb. 7, and there are now more
than 30 cast and crew members.
Filming will take one month of work, with a shorter turnaround time to edit. The
runtime will be approximately 30 minutes long.
