On Thurs. Feb. 18, I attended and viewed Escape from happiness. The play was a success, in my opinion, because it was a comedy that captivated and entertained the audience. At the end of the day, just like marketing, customer value is important. In theater, any production is said to be successful as long as the audience leaves satisfied in all ways. Overall, the whole show was satisfying. I am not familiar with the show Escape from Happiness, so it was a new experience for me when I watched the production. Although it was a great play, there were two issues I had with it. The telling of the story took a large chunk of time. In today’s society time is one thing that we lack. We have all these things going on and a two hour and a half play isn’t something that I would like to spend my two hours watching. I could have loved it more if it was short and sweet. In fact, the majority of the play was a build up to the point of the character getting beat up and the situations that were going on in their families. While not familiar with Escape from Happiness, I do know the two thieves were notorious outlaws. I was disappointed I did not get to witness scenes of them making a name for themselves. Sure, they did a couple bad things, but nothing in the production led me to believe they were as big as their infamous real-life counterparts. As when I was thinking about it, I came to agree with myself that the conclusion of the first part was too abrupt and left much to be desired. I
On February 26th 2016, I went out with my friend to saw this event. It was the first time of my life to be in such production. I was not a fan of theaters. I thought they are boring. Now, my mind has changed because the play was amazing. So, on the next day,
The most successful aspect of the performance for me were the scene changes. I found that the rotation of the blackboard, center stage, where the actors were able to stoop beneath it in order to enter and exit the stage, was an effective touch to this
They followed the steps on how to get an audience attention when telling a story or doing a presentation. First, they told us what they are going to do which was to kill the king, and how they are going to do it, and lastly why they did it. One thing I found really successful was even though the play was really comical the actors were able to keep the storyline in a way that I could understand. The show kept me on edge, it kept me wondering what craziness is going to happen next. Although the show was really comical it also had a lot of life lessons that I learned. Firstly, one thing I learned from watching the performance is that” Once a traitor always a traitor.” In the show, there was a guy that plotted a coup with a soldier so they could overthrow the king so that soldier “ “captain Bondure” could take over. In the end, the traitor ended up betraying the soldier and stole the crown. The second thing I learned from this performance is never let anything bring you down no matter what the circumstances are. In the case of Ubu Roi, the princess lost her dad. Then her mom died right in her hands while they were on the run hiding in a cage. She never gave up on her idea to revenge her families’ death.
I’ve adored theatre for as long as I can remember. From writing plays throughout elementary school, to being involved in Drama Club in middle school, to performing in community theatre in high school, and to visiting the theatre as often as I could from the very beginning, theatre has always been a part of my life. Every aspect of it engages me: the directors working to bring their vision of the show’s scenes, choreography, or music to life, the actors transforming into different characters through their expression of dialogue, song, or dance, the costumers and set-builders transporting the audience into the setting and time period with their artistry, the backstage tech and crew working quickly and precisely to keep the show flowing to curtain call, and the orchestra bringing the show to life through music. There is nothing like the experience of live theatre, both as a member of the audience and as a member of the cast and crew.
The play of Our Town, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. This play was one of the best plays that I have ever seen and it was definitely worth the price of admission. This was the best play that I have ever seen because most of the characters knew their lines and they did a marvelous job using the stage without any scenery in the background.
The production was much a success for the most part. It was definitely worthwhile, I encouraged a few people to go and in the near future will encourage more people to go and experience stories, movies and others as such come to life.
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
Overally, I loved it. A lot of things happened that I would not think was possible because I have been to previous performances. It was always an unexpecting experience being in the same room with the actors and actresses because
I believe a musical, or any play is successful when it receives good reviews from critics, good reviews from the general audience, and tends to have a close to 100% of seats filled. My definition of a successful show is about as close to flawless as reality can allow. It pleases everyone and turns a profit.
I've been experiencing live productions for my whole life. My relationship with the performers was very strong. Usually, when I see a live production, I look for character development, change, and believability. Bingo:The Winning Musical did not change what I look for in a play, but it did give me a new experience for looking at musicals.
After working and seeing this production from start to finish, I believe that the actors worked well on presenting this musical in a fun
I believe this play was a success in its performance and directing and technical aspects. It made me sympathize with the prosecuting attorney and want to know more about what happened and why Dan White only received two manslaughter charges instead of the two first degree murder charges I came to believe he deserved.
Northern Arizona University's Production of Comedy of Errors was, by far the funniest thing I have ever seen, as far as plays go. Now, I haven't seen very many plays in person, but it was still hilarious. It was definitely different from the last play I saw, which was Good People by David Lindsay-Abaire. I enjoyed both plays, but for different reasons. I won't go into detail about Good People, because that was my last paper. This paper is about Comedy of Errors.
The above example illustrates not only how the theatrical performance affects the audience, but also how the audience influences its dynamics, development and the characters within it. The actors feel a certain level of acceptance from the viewer, who demands a certain way of depicting the character. Theatre is not just entertainment, itís something much more than that ñ itís education. Theatre should always represent things, rather than
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.
