My Personal History: A Broadway Piece Of Theater

Theatre has a different meaning for everyone who encounters it. Over the years theatre has given me a lot. It has given me an outlet, a way to express myself. In fact one of my mentors said that, “It isn’t about impressing, but about expressing,” and that really resonated with me, as that’s what I really believe theatre is about. Also, theatre has given me a safe place that I can always turn to. In addition, I have learned many life lessons through theatre, such as, dedication and work ethic. It has also taught me about the sanctity of communication and individuality. My most valuable high school memories and experiences have stemmed from theatre. When I look back on my high school years I won’t remember the classes I took and the grades I received, but I will remember the shows I participated in because they have shaped the person I have become and have been some of the most impactful moments in my life.

Before I even entered high school, I obtained a love of theater and the performing arts. I have been singing and acting since I was nine, as well as on and off dancing since three. Taking classes at a local theater really introduced me to this interest of mine. When I entered high school, an injury kept me from doing shows. But now I graduate with nine high school shows under my belt, as well as being in multiple community theater productions. Being a part of these shows made me feel a strong sense of belonging, and whether I was an ensemble or lead

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

I saw my first Broadway show at only seven years old and have seen over ten more since then, due to the fact I live only two hours away from New York City by train. I always enjoyed theatre, but I didn’t grow the deep love I have for it now until acting became a career option. I spent a week of the summer completely in the business world of theatre and came out knowing I had to be an actress. I dived into all things Broadway, bought as many albums as I could, watched as many interviews as possible, saved up to see more shows, but even with all of this love for

This past Wednesday, I embarked with my National Honor Society on a field trip to watch the performance of a Christmas classic, Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol. The performance was a stage musical performed by the cast of the La Comedia dinner theatre. Being a strong performer in the theatre and theatre enthusiast myself, I was excited to watch this Christmas classic come to life on stage. As a child, I made frequent visits to La Comedia with family members, so I find myself very familiar with this theatre. I have always found a love for the atmosphere of the theatre, the food provided, and the performances presented on the stage. At La Comedia, they claim to provide ‘a taste of Broadway’, which immediately sets the standards for each production. I have very high expectations for each performance I attend and this performance of A Christmas Carol did not disappoint. The actors of La Comedia definitely do not lack extraordinary talent, and the entire theatre staff sticks to traditions they have developed over time, giving the entire setting a wonderful, traditional ambiance. The La Comedia performance of A Christmas Carol did an exquisite job of bringing this story to life while sticking to the classic tale, with the additions of great songs from the Broadway version and the overall atmosphere and service provided for an entertaining event.

I sat in a dark auditorium, watching the magic. Only three, I sat in those red, comfy seats watching as my music teacher mother directed the annual spring musical Singing in the Rain that was coming to life before my eyes. I squinted at the bright glow coming from the stage, not knowing whether it was from the lights or the actors. I was fascinated as the ordinary high school students seemed to transform into experienced, brilliant actors. That very moment started my love for musical theatre.

When I say watching this play was a nostalgic experience, that was an understatement. Rewatching this play brought me back to my childhood and reminded me what good disney movies were. From music, to production, to acting, to dancing, to the set, all of it was more than pleasing. The

Seeing my friends and other students having fun and making me feel like I was up on that stage with them. There were two specific characters that really stood out to me, these two characters stood out to me because, they were full of emotion and energy through the whole night for all the shows. My favourite characters were Corny Collins, and Amber Von Tussle. I think the rest of the cast could have used more energy and used their emotions more because, through most of the show some people showed no emotion at all and had a straight face. In the opening number of the play everybody had energy and was happy with emotions. I think that was the best energy in the whole show. However, I get it the lights on the stage are hot and by the end of the night you get exhausted because you are using up all your energy. You got to fight through it either by staying hydrated, eating, or taking a rest on a break you must get through. Performing is a very hard thing to do, and while you are working your butt off some people in the audience think it's easy. Until they try and do it and find out the challenges and how hard it is to do the things we

I was in absolute awe after watching the choreography of the performance. Although the choreography was not exactly the same as the performances on broadway, I almost enjoyed it better

The last play I went to was Hairspray at Toby’s Dinner Theatre in Columbia when I was 12.After reading the syllabus for class, I was very excited to see a theatrical performance especially at the age I am now because I’ll understand it more. I thought that the Bluest Eye was a beautiful, informative and expressive performance. I went in with an open mind because I didn’t know what to expect. After reading some Toni Morrison’s books which are filled with a imagery and surprises, I was very excited to see a theatrical performance based on one of her books. I appreciated how raw and deep this performance was. History always repeats itself, and I really liked how they made that prevalent by including modern day issues.

The production was zany, extravagant, and all around weird – But I loved every minute of it. If you get the opportunity to see this musical, be forewarned that you will wondering what you just saw. But you will also leave with a smile and a few laughs behind you that make the adventure

I had some damage after first week that I came to the show in that I was not impressed with the play. I had the behind the scenes knowledge that many of the actors were ill, and I also first attended the Sunday matinée, which I expected to be lower in energy than a night performance, but the energy was extremely low and the show tended to drag. During my next attendance I was so pleased to see my classmates have a high-energy performance that I was sad to see end. Overall, I was so proud of my peers that they were able to perform an amazing show and make adjustments throughout the run of the

I am very confident that I will earn at least an A or B on this paper. I have two final papers and a final performance in theater. I am the director for the theater play my group is doing and we will be graded as a group performance and not individually. My grades in that class depends on how we work together as a group. I have been outlining the way I want to direct our scene and it looks like I will do fine. I am confident to get at least a B on that final performance. On top of the performance, we have to write a in class paper that we describe how we will be involved in theater after the class. It think that will be easy because I have to state my opinion and I can’t be wrong on my opinion. On the scale of 1-10, I am 9 confident. For the

Here’s a little about myself hopefully it can spark inspiration for an ideal costume. My physical features include longer brown wavy hair with brown eyes and that’s about all I’m going to say. Personality wise, I am outgoing and love talking to different people. I am involved in a campus organization called the Cougar Counseling Team. I love volunteering anywhere available such as orphanages, animal shelters, etc. My favorite sport to play is volleyball; I play at every opportunity given. I come from a small town and am a Christian, however, I am a liberal. I am very open minded and accepting in all aspects. The things that are most important to me are my family and friends. I adore my pets including my cat: Cinderfella,

It was about two hours until the doors opened and I was sitting in staring at my television, appearing to be in a trance. On the screen a mob of what looked like 30 or so zombies were chasing me through a maze of pilars and various piles of rubbish as I swiftly navigated the ceiling of an upside down temple in Tokyo. I was supposed to be headed to the ATM to withdraw gas money and a bit of spending money-in case I wanted to get a t-shirt or something but my Playstation's grip on me was as strong as ever. Fortunately, it wasnt long before my undead counterparts overwhelmed me and ended the game. I hopped up, grabbed my vynle copy of Return of 4eva and everything I would need for my journey, and darted out the door. I was embarking on my journey to the Granada Theatre where, after a lot of waiting, I would not only watch Big K.R.I.T. perform, but also I would also be able to meet him afterwards.
