Personal Narrative: Roxana High School Theater

Theater and theatrical performances are as old as time and thanks to Shakespeare, there are incredible pieces for performers and audiences alike to enjoy for the next several thousand years. The circular design of the theater created a bond between the actors on the stage and the audience. The Globe brought together people of all castes and unified them through theater. As long as someone had a penny to spare, they could see a show at The Globe, allowing everyone the unique theatrical experience The Globe provided. The Globe still offers performances and camps for youth to learn about theater in the place where Shakespeare entertained. This fact alone is a testament to the importance of The Globe and Shakespeare’s works. With the efforts of Shakespeare, his troupe, and other actors and writers of his time theater has grown into a unifying form of entertainment for all people (possibly even across The Globe). The Globe will forever serve as the home that raised theatrical performances into the extravagant, sometimes life changing, experiences they have become and will always continue to

I have been actively involved with the theater ever since 7th grade. I have gained various job skills through the theater and have learned some lessons on managing a business, and people. I have worked with money, other businesses, the projectors, the workers, and the customers of the Harlowton Theater. In my time at the theater, we have installed new carpet and a new projector and

When I started Unity High School I felt a little nervous because I didn't knew nobody in the school. In the begging of the first class I was quit and I didn´t talk to noone. I also didn't knew nobody in the class so I could tell them if they could help me on the problem that I need help. I was shy to talk to the teachers and and answer question or ask them for help when I needed help. During lunch time I just knew one person that came from my middle school. So I just hand out with him most the time. But, then weeks and months past I began to have more friends and I was not shy or nervous to ask for help in class. I wanted to join the soccer team of the school but I was to nervous to do it. But, now I know that I´m going to join the soccer team

The months went by in a blink of an eye, and it was the last week of school. My classes for the rest of the week, we're watching a movie and eating pizza ,but only people who had a good

Living in Small town located in the Central Valley in state of California. I began my freshman year in 2012 at the Avenal High School. My first day of class and everything seemed to be new for a fourteen years old teenager with big expectations about his future education .Dealing with new people and teachers that I did not back time, I go used to them. Attending to school seemed to be easy when it is not, but also it is not hard if you have determination and discipline. I can tell that I have not fallen my none of classes. There was moment when I got lower grade because I have not been paying attention to the lessons that the teacher was teaching to the class. The mistake of getting lower grade did not make a weak student. I learned to

The Tecumseh Center of Arts (TCA) was an anonymous gift to the community in 1981, and since then it has hosted many orchestras, dance performances, and play performed by local actors and performers (KJ Marketing). Among those who use the center’s facility is The Tecumseh High school’s drama club, whom consist of aspiring high school students (KJ Marketing). I identify with these aspiring students and am pleased to assist in funding their place of performance.

"I’m so nervous,” I complained to my mom as we walked into the Waukesha Civic Theatre. “What if I’m not good enough. I haven’t even prepared that much!” It was a crisp September day and some leaves had already started changing color. On the way home from school my mom told me about a play that the theater puts on near us every year and thought I would be good for it. Since I had only heard about the audition that day, it gave me a few hours to pick my song and be prepared for whatever part they wanted me to read. The next song that came on the radio was the song “Edge of Glory” by Lady GaGa and because it was in my vocal range I thought it would be good for me. Little did I know that this audition would change my view of theater.

For the duration of my high school I have been a leader for my younger peers by volunteering with Shallowater’s Middle School One Act Play program. Throughout the past four years I have dedicate over 400 volunteer hours into this program and treasured every moment. I have held the position of High School Assistant Director for two years and the opportunity influence and guide these young students has been extraordinary. Seeing the growth of the students over the course of the season, and realizing that I have made an impact on their life is the greatest reward I could ever to gain from an experience.

The community of Pulaski should build a theater for more room, a bigger variety of people, and their would be not just musicals but much, much more. To start off their would be more room and more room= more people. With a whole building dedicated to a stage and seats there will be a lot more room for more people. Since it's not just to students of pcms and phs there will be more people in the musical/play/show or band, that would mean more people and their families would come and pay money for tickets. Also a theater would mean more variety of people that live in Pulaski or near Pulaski that don't go to pcms that have a lot of talent. This would mean it would be easier to find the perfect person for the role and their would be a whole big age

All the school’s a stage, and all the students merely players. What is my role? What part of the whole high school dynamic do I take part in? After four long years at Cranston High School West, I finally know. Senior year is my final act before the finale and everything I have accomplished, all the scenes I have been in, have prepared me for my moment in the spotlight. Yes, I did stumble on stage sometimes but I continued on and did not focus on my mistakes but to learn from them. Everything from countless hours of community service in the school’s library to the classes I took, ILPs, common tasks and more prepared me for my role. Even though education is very important, Cranston West also shaped who I am today. It has led me to some of the

Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I have searched and searched for a talent that would give me a unique identity to make me stand out from my peers. When I was five years old, I was given the chance to be in a musical in our city's community theatre, PMT. This musical was "The Wizard of Oz", and I played the role of a munchkin in the Lollipop Guild. This initially sparked a great interest in theatre, and I fell in love with acting. I had an amazing mentor for my youth acting career, the late Jack Ewing. He played Harold Hill in PMT's production of "The Music Man", while I had the opportunity to play the role of Winthrop, the young boy that helps Harold Hill become a better person. (Jack later died a year before I had the chance to play the role of Harold Hill in my high school's production of "The Music Man Jr.") When I was about nine, PMT dissolved as an organization and therefore there was no community theatre around me for years, which put a setback in my interest and talent for theatre.

Our Drama Club is very active throughout the school year promoting drama activities including performances and special events. Any student who is involved with our Theatre Arts program or has a

When I first read about Ithaca’s Musical Theater Program, I had just watched a clip on YouTube Aaron Tveit’s performance in the 2009 Broadway cast of Wicked. Blown away by his performance, I researched his education and fell in love a program that taught artistic expression as well as solid training as an actor and not just as a musical theater performer. Having just been to London and visiting the West End I was very excited about the opportunity to study abroad and learn British drama and culture. I was also thrilled to find that this program included private voice lessons, basic piano skills, critical analysis of plays, all things I feel I have a foundation in and grown and improve in college. Finally, a Showcase in front of industry professionals

I am Emily Shpiece. I enjoy writing, acting and sleeping. I’m planning on majoring in English, taking a Creative Writing focus, Education and then finding a way to fit Theatre into the mix. I’m currently hoping to be able to teach English in high schools and write on the side until I am able to get something published. I would like to fit in a Theatre degree because I really love theatre and acting. At my high school, Rockville, I was involved with the plays and musicals. Rockville’s director and technical director were the same people who directed and tech directed my middle school plays- they ended up moving to my high school’s drama department. I performed in shows with them for seven years, and fostered

“Aren’t you a little old for that?” “Isn’t that for little kids?” “You need to grow up.” There comes a time where everyone hears those words. It normally happens when you get into high school. Teenagers try to ditch their childish image just as Miley Cyrus tried to ditch her Hannah Montana image. Those young adults are trying to remove the “young” part and prove they are just adults. I never personally went through that phase myself. Of course, I matured and acted like a professional when I was expected too. However, I never stopped loving the things that might be considered weird for a high school student to do in his free time. I still watched cartoons and played with bubbles and drew on the sidewalk with chalk. I didn’t see anything wrong with these enjoyable hobbies even though it made people look at me strange or tease me in the halls. I never really got over the enjoyment of acting immature in a mature way. However, I felt like I was out of place at times. It wasn’t until my the end of my junior year that I decided to say “screw it” and break the status quo of feeling ashamed of enjoying the happiness of life. I had been involved in the theatre program for almost two years. The state theatre competition was coming up and my theatre troupe decided to do a modern telling of Peter Pan as our one act play.
