Essay on Greenwich Theatre: Be My Baby

The set used for Vernon God Little was highly symbolic and simplistic; when we walked into the theatre we could visually see that there were flowers, cards and memorable items attached on the audiences seats above our heads, which already created a sombre atmosphere around the theatre.

This past week-end, nineteen Dutchman Creek Middle School students attended the SC Junior Thespian Competition in Summerville, SC.

Theatre is a collaboration of various forms of fine art which utilizes live performances presenting before the audience on a stage at a specific place within a scheduled time (Dugdale 10). The message is communicated through a combination of various channels like songs, speech gestures or dances. Stagecraft skills are combined with elements of art to make the performance more physical and near to real life experience. Theatre is categorized broadly into drama, musical theatre, comedy, tragedy and improvisation. Any form of these accepts integration of various production modes and collective reception to influence the artwork being presented. As a result of this cooperation of items in the theatre

Imagine watching the famous plays of William Shakespeare being performed right in front of yours eyes at the amazing Globe Theater. William Shakespeare was part owner of The Globe Theater. The famous Globe Theater was a place where outstanding plays were performed. This theater held people from all over the world to watch performances. In the article “The Elizabeth Era” states that “often the Queen would come to the Globe Theater to watch Shakespeare’s work “(Alchin). The Globe Theater has great significance to British history because of the building structure, the actors, the performances, the fire accident, and its impact on England and its people.

Despite being a star kid and featuring in some television shows she did not get instant success. Her

When I first walked into the Granada Theatre I was amazed by the intricate detail put into the design of the venue. At first glance, it seemed to be an extremely high class venue, and it made sense why Professor Roy asked us to dress nicely. In all honesty I felt totally out of my element. I showed up a couple minutes late so they had me stand until the first piece was over to take my seat. The seriousness added to the layer of prestige that I had begun to attribute to the event. When I finally took my seat, I was astounded by the setup too. The piano was center stage. I was expecting an orchestra before I had arrived, but was not too disappointed to see just Yuja Wang. I could see her, but I could also see people sitting in the balcony. The

The performance we saw of Romeo and Juliet directed by Rob Salmon was designed to appeal to a contemporary audience; attempting to show characters that one would expect to see in the local area, a key example of this could be costume worn by Lady Capulet. Throughout the performance Lady Capulet was wearing clothes which could be considered some what provocative, with a very bold leopard print, a statement in society that is often considered to be ‘wild’ and suggestive of being sexually available. This is a major contrast to what an audience would have seen women wearing in the era of the original performance, women were very controlled by society’s standards and revealing merely an ankle would be seen as scandalous. This is clearly an

She was wonderful to work with on that film. She was there as I was getting exposed to that world, and she steered people my way. It was such a lovely time. Oh, I love that woman. We had such a great time, and we laughed and laughed all the time.

Going to the Abbey Theatre was a magical experience. As someone who has worked for a social justice theatre company the past two summers, theatre companies created with a purpose for political and social change are fascinating. Art is supposed to make people uncomfortable, it is supposed to make people think in some type of way. W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, two of the main founders of the theatre—did just this. They opened the theater with some of their most famous political shows despite their efforts and talk of attempting to keep the theater non-political. One modern element that is present for the Abbey Theatre and not in America is the governmental funding of theaters and the arts.

My perception of her was a sweet woman who loved her children and was like a big sister to me. Though at the same time, I saw the victim mentality she had and I saw how she allowed herself to be victimized by her husband. For instance, when she was pregnant she was not allowed to sleep on a bed because her husband said it was not good for the baby. In my young mind thinking, it was sad, but I had victim thinking also, so it was a bad turn of events for her, but none the less she did

     The Globe Theater, an entertainment outlet for all people of that time, provided a place for Shakespeare's plays to be performed.  It was the third and most famous playhouse in London.  When it was built, it was one of the most important playhouses in London.  The Globe's architecture was intriguing for its time and its life was long and prosperous.

For Mcardle Theatre I would want to envelop the audience as much as possible with the sounds of New Orleans. Especially before scene 1, Tennessee Williams call for a lot of music, specifically of a piano around every street corner. I think the best way to approach this would be to surround the audience with that music, as well as the ambient noises of the street. Maybe even have two different songs playing, as Williams emphasizes that in New Orleans, “…you are practically always just around the corner…”. [Gainer, Garner Jr., Puchner] This might give the sense of a tight New Orleans space, yet a lot of people doing things at once. The train could also be great in surround, as you could pan the sound itself around the audience, making it feel like they are truly in the space.

eat cake, then!". Whether or not she really said this, the truth of the matter

Later the mother walks between the spaces in those two line to the bride and as she passes each character, they starts facing the bride as if to give more attention to what’s about to happen.The mother looks at the bride and then she spits at her and the light goes off and the act I starts. I think this is very interesting because this gives us the foreshadow of what’s about to happen in the play. Her action which was spitting on the bride showed very strong hate and disgrace towards the bride which I think is very stronger than just slapping her. In this play, the style of the stage that was the black box stage. I think this style of the stage was very helpful as it didn’t block the view of the actors as the thrust stage did which was used in the crucible. I was able to see the actors clearly without their back facing towards me. The role of a wife was played by Drew Beaubian. What I really liked about her character is that she is very innocent and unaware of her husband love for another woman who turns out be her cousin. She worries about her family. I was expecting there to be a lot of crying once the mother and wife finds out about the death the bridegroom and Leonard but to my surprise neither of them cried in the play which was pretty odd to me knowing the son was very dear to the mother. Ana Rivera played as a
