Themes<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n
    \n
  • Some butler training includes adopting the mindset that you need to set your\u00a0personal\u00a0humanity aside while you\u2019re at work.\u00a0Some believe that personal emotions have no place in the workplace.\u00a0Do you think this is true of other fields of work? If so, what is one example that comes to mind?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Being a successful butler requires close attention to detail, and sometimes it may be hard to understand why that level of detail is necessary. This is true for many jobs, and maybe even\u00a0in your work\u00a0as a student.\u00a0How might we motivate ourselves to maintain strict\u00a0attention to detail, especially in the moments that we don\u2019t enjoy it?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Additional Media<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n

      It\u00a0may not be common knowledge that there are schools that teach the skills to be a professional butler.\u00a0Since this play is a murder mystery set in\u00a0such a school, you might like to know more about that environment in advance. Below are two options. The first video is pretty short and gives a general overview of the training that some receive. The second\u00a0video is about a half hour, but it\u00a0is entertaining and informative. Whichever video you choose (if not both), try to imagine how a murder mystery could be written in this setting. Then at the show, see how much of your vision is reflected in the show!<\/span><\/p>\n
