The Blue Bird Response

One feature of the play that really amazed me was the perfection of the acting. The actors and actresses seemed as if they actually were the characters in which they were playing. I was particularly impressed by the way that the characters seemed to actually emotionally feel and exist in their own unique roles. The

The play was very well done and was not dull even though it was catered to a large audience. The musical numbers are very entertaining, and the spectacle, both visual and emotional, is well accomplished. I would recommend this to most children and adults, due to the Christmas themes and general lightheartedness of the play.

I will be honest with you I had a lot of trouble enjoying the play, like I said the dialect gave me trouble, plus my seats were not that great. I did however like the movie quite a bit, but I realize I am a product of a different generation as well. I have been brought up around TV and movies rather than plays

The play was well interpreted by all whom were involved. Steven Wrentmore, the Director, kept the 1920’s feel by dressing in all 1920’s costumes and everyone spoke as if they were living at the

The scenic design in this play was extraordinary, and I could tell there was a lot of effort put into it. In this play there was a stairway towards the back of the stage. It brought in a new way for the actors to enter/exit the stage. I thought this was very creative idea that was easy to move on, and off stage if needed. There were many scenes that had the moon and the stars in the background. I loved this because it showed the audience when it was night time. I also love looking at the moon and the stars, I feel it creates a very romantic atmosphere. There were times the setting was inside a house or a pub, and then there were times that the setting was outside like the war scene, and the balcony scene. I

This was the first play or theatre performance that I have attended. I was unsure of what to expect, but I heard great things about this play. Furthermore, the first aspect of this production that caught my attention was the design of the set. The design gave the feeling of a run down urban neighborhood by making the outer parts of the stage look like an old brick building. The building looked like one you would find in a low-income area or projects. The scenery of the play set the stage for what type of production this would be. I especially liked the way they carefully chose not to place just any kind of props on the stage. The dusty

6. What technical areas did you notice? Make specific comments about the scenery, costumes, lighting, and sound. Did the technical aspects enhance or hinder the production? Would you do anything differently? I loved the scenery for this play from all the plays I have seen this year performed by Henrico High School. The backdrop for the Northern lights was simply stunning. It even a times it shows the twinkling of lights behind the backdrop, that provides the image of dazzling stars. The moving platforms even had the perfect representation of a modern house. It is safe to say, I wouldn’t change a thing about this

When looking at the spreadsheet, the bird lasted nine years in the first simulation and ten years in the second simulation. The first simulation started out with seventeen blue beetles (ten were eaten) and decreased to fifteen(eleven were eaten), eleven (ten were eaten), one (got eaten), and then became extinct after just five years. In the second simulation, the blue beetle population started with seventeen (thirteen were eaten), and decreased to sixteen (twelve eaten), fourteen (eleven were eaten) , eight (eight were eaten), and then became extinct. The green population increased from one, then three, eight, nineteen, ended up at twenty until the bird died after nine years in the first simulation. In the second simulation, the green beetles

My favorite part of the entire play, which may seem weird is that face that the scene changes were in character. As Jean put on her jack, she was in character looking out into the crowd. That was just such a nice touch that they added and should be applauded. Secondly, the fact that they had the performance in the upstage rather than in the large auditorium. It was such a minor thing, but I actually had to move me feet because I was worried that I would accidentally trip an actor. That was amazing! It made the play feel more intimate and like I was actually in the rooms, experiencing what they were.

After contacting the author Adam Rapp, Writer of Punkzilla , and Under the Wolf, Under the Dog, I was able to interview him for about an hour through Skype. I was able to ask him many questions in that time. Included in this is part one of the interview.

They were completely focused on their role. As a member of the audience, I could tell that they were truly away from reality. The major characters in the play were contrasts to the minor

In conclusion, I thought this play was a great choice for me to see at the theatre. I was glad I went to see it because it made me realize that your opinion doesn’t have to be the most popular opinion. I need to stand up for what I believe in and that is what this play taught me. I do prefer a comedy over a tragedy and I am upset with the ending but I cannot complain because I enjoyed this play very

The mother’s character in this play stand out. Just like any mother out there, they have been through all hardship and therefore they always want their children to learn and know what is right and wrong. The costumes are funny and beautiful. For example, when the daughter who study a lot became a doctor, her looks and costumes looked perfect on her. She looked like a doctor. I loved how HAS’s play goes back to the Hmong village in Laos. It also showed how generations after generations has improved such as ladies being able to continue school. The acting was amazing! I loved the part when the mother yelled for her husband, “Where are you?”, and he popped out and walked to her and said, “I was still pooping!”. That was a great laugh.

The actors in the play were very remarkable and true to their roles. Each actor was cohesive in portraying realistic and natural emotions as well as humor in the play. There was a particular scene in the play that was very emotional, causing me to tear up. In this scene, Gladys is sitting in her kitchen crying, feeling lost and confused about her own existence. Not only was this scene emotionally touching, but it helps the audience to connect with the characters on an emotional level. The comedy in the play consisted of satire and was effective in keeping the audience interested and entertained throughout the play, with lots of laughter. The acting certainly contributed to the goal of the play, making it a successful
