Greater Tuana Play Analysis

She was kind of annoying because she was too good at playing a two goodie two shoes, but I loved her voice anyway. John Travolta had the acting skills to play Danny because he was an Elvis Presley wanna be. Stockard Channing, I wish was more a nice girl than when she acts like a spoiled little girl who always wants it her way. I think that she did amazing at playing her role as Betty Rizzo, but i feel like she was a bit old like in her early 30’s to play a role as a teenager. Jeff Conaway was great at playing his role because he knew how to act like greaser, but he also looked like one too. Talking about looks he also looks to old to play a role of a teenager which is Kenickie. Didi Conn was good at playing an airhead so it helped her play the role of Frenchy, but that’s what i mainly liked about the role. Dennis C. Stewart had a bad boy vibe so it helped with his role as Leo Balmudo. He looked kind of old to play the role just like Stockard Channing who played Betty Rizzo and Jeff Conaway who played Kenickie. Now onto the body paragraph where I’ll be describing what I like and what i

This production was ripe with humour, witticisms and a valuable moral message, it entertained the audience and showed a different side of the elderly most would not perceive. Through brilliantly written extended dialogue, tension creating arguments and fleshed out and realistic relationships between characters portrayed the plays dramatic meaning clearly and effectively whilst keeping audiences young and old

All of the actors were believable and had great articulation and volume. Each character was great but there were only two who stood out from among the rest, Naz Edwards and Bryan Lark. Naz never lost her character. She stayed committed throughout her entire performance. The amount of dedication she gives to her craft is amazing and it shows throughout the play. Naz Edwards is a New York actress. She has performed on and off Broadway, in tours and regionally across the United States and Canada. Naz had arguably the hardest role in the entire play. She never cracked a smile, or never allowed her face to show any sympathy for anyone else. Bryan Lark, an up and coming actor gave the audience much needed laughter throughout the play. With this being only his second play with the Performance Network Theatre he did a fantastic job. Bryan and Naz were great assets to the

The acting throughout this play was phenomenal. It is clear that Davis took her time assembling this group of talented

My favorite character was the ballet teacher. The actress made great use of the stage and her props. I loved the way she swayed in her fur lined silk robe and how she used her faux cigarette. It really conveyed the life story of the character and made her stand out. It gives her an aura of strength but also a certain feeling of tragedy — as if she had always wanted to become a star. Her beat changes were very distinct throughout the play. Each line was

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

Sadly when I arrived at the theater I was not even sure I would be able to focus on the show, for my mother who was meant to see this production with me yet was unable to. Due to unforeseeable circumstances that neither one of us could for see and so with all of this hanging over head I was really hoping to get a laugh from this play, which it did. This was not the first time that I had come to see a play at Boise Little Theater, but definitely this was the first time that I had done it on my own. Which was a tad

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

Since I have prior knowledge about this famous play, I did not have a hard time figuring out which actors played a specific character. When all the other characters came onto the stage, it was easy for someone to believe that they were the character stated in the program due to the costumes. The actors were attempting to make you believe they were the real characters, something that could have worked if the execution was better. If the actors practiced more and thoroughly knew their lines, making the character their own without losing the integrity of each character, the audience would be gripping out of their

I was particularly struck by the acting of Gracie Sartin. Her fearless approach to so many elements of the play – whether it was being hit on the head with an ironing board, hitting another costar with the ironing board, or giving one of her characters (Villian) an accent - was incredibly interesting to watch. Despite the fact that she portrayed six different people, she embodied them so well that I did not see Gracie in them. I saw only the characters she was portraying. The other actors were also successful in that ability. I think that achievement, combined with the success of the way the time constraints were embraced, added greatly to the success of the play.

Overall it held my attention. The comedy injected into this play allowed for the more poignant messages to be driven home. I could relate to the respective arguments of the two men. It makes you

Seena was born a demigod. The son of Mcgregor, the god of sports and his mother was a nurse. Seena had never seen his dad but he spent hours imagining what growing up with a dad would be like. It was a regular day in the life of Seena, He had just came home from school and got ready for his baseball game. Seena was running late and as usual he raced through the busy streets of New York city to get to his game. He made it just in time and he played one of the best games of his life. After each game Seena sits on the bench after the game to evaluate the game and his performance to see how he can improve his game. Seena’s biggest obstacle is his size. He is usually the smallest person on the team and he is very insecure about it. As he is sitting

My second favorite character was Julia, Chairwoman of the Cleveland Opera Guild. When she enters in Act II, she is on her way to the show and is wearing a very shiny, extravagant dress. I think that the dress was a bit too much for the occasion. When Saunders sees her, he makes a joke about her dress. The funny part is the way the dress looks. It is not a very pretty dress and it does her no justice, but she thinks that she looks really

Throughout the play, I enjoyed the role of music used to set a comic atmosphere and replace the dialogs during comic scenes (e.g. when they chase each other around). I also thought that they made a good use of light to indicate the moment of the day the scene was happening or to set the atmosphere of the scene (e.g. pink colour during the romantic moments). Lastly, I liked the way the play ended. Even though it was a little messy with everyone running after each other off and on stage, and this policeman coming out of nowhere, which really surprised me; I couldn’t think of a better way to end the play.

The main characters of the play, Hannah and Martin, had strong and successful performances in terms of their body movements, chemistry, and portrayal of their characters. Ali Basalyga, the actress portraying Hannah, was excellent in demonstrating Hannah’s transition from an awkward, shy, and self-conscious young girl in the beginning of the play, to becoming dominant and powerful at the end of the play. While most of the actors did their characters justice, there were some minor faults that seemed to stick out like sore thumbs. In terms of vocal quality and articulation, for example, Basalyga definitely stuck out--her occasional fast speech and slurred words caused sentences to pass, unheard by the audience. Had she spoken slower at times, her role would have been more understandable and therefore, more powerful. I have seen other plays in the past, “The Glass Menagerie”, for example, in which Basalyga also portrayed the main character, and again, articulation proved to a problem for her. One character that did not add to the success of the production was Gertrude Jaspers, portrayed by Emily Paparazzo. Paparazzo’s soft tone of voice and perceived shyness to be on stage, made it virtually impossible to hear what she was saying for minutes at a time. Her movements on stage were awkward and
