Stage Play Review

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

I have been in a lot of plays. Since I was little because of church. I have been in scrooge, the Christmas story, and many different Vacation Bible School skits. When I was younger, our teacher just put us in the plays with small parts. For example, in scrooge, I was a child from the Christmas past playing games showing how Christmas was. Then in the Christmas play I got to be Mary. We had a little scripts since we were young to read off of. I was a little nervous, but I was able to do it. There were also numbers so we knew when we were supposed to go. I also got to do some plays in school with my classmates. We did a musical and we also did some square dancing. IT was fun because we all were doing the same thing at the same time. Not only did we do plays at the

For our critiquing assignment in our Introduction to Stagecraft 1, I ventured to downtown Toronto, to a small indie theatre called, The Unit 102 Theatre. There I saw the production of MISS; written by Dora Award-nominated playwright Michael Ross Albert who wrote such works as Tough Jews, The Spadina Avenue Gang with the Storefront Theatre. The set takes place in the aftermath of a shocking accident in a boarding school classroom, the story explores the tenuous connection between a high school teacher, her fiance, and a troubled student whose lives have been irrevocably changed by tragedy caused by a miscarriage, an affair, and the fear of the consequences that are not yet revealed, and finally, murder. This is a one act showdown between three

I have loved theatre for as long as I can remember. The thrill of knowing anything can happen and the sense of belonging has always fascinated me. The summer before I came to college, I took an internship with a theatre company run by Christians, and it completely changed my approach to theatre. I hope to keep Jesus first not only in theatre, but in every area of life. I have so much more to learn, but I’m excited for what the future holds. Although there are some limitations and challenges as a Christian, theatre is a beautiful and fulfilling art form that Christians can study and practice.

I also knew that if they wouldn’t let me perform, there were other ways I could participate, and that was what led me to technical theater. I helped build and paint sets when I was in high school, and also ran the follow spot. My student job in college was in the scene shop and costume shop where I gained experience in set and platform building, pipe hanging,

On November 4th, 2016, my best friend and I went to see the play at the Charles Winter Wood Theatre. This play is set during the 1950s, and the scene takes place in a night club in Chicago. This play was sponsored by FAMU’s Essential Theatre, and it was quite entertaining. It presents realistic situations such as the affairs, jealously, and debt in relationships. The director, Maurice Kitchen, wrote this play to present the Black artists who used their talent to escape the difficulties they have faced. The main character, Billy Gamble, was a show host and performer, who used his patients with musical talents to be on his show. Important aspects seen in the play were love and fame. The musicians expressed their feelings within their music.

The History of Broadway Musicals What Is Broadway theater? Most would believe that it refers to the theaters that are located on Broadway street in New York. Surprisingly however, many Broadway theaters have moved to neighboring streets. In modern times, the definition of a Broadway theater actually refers to how many people the theater holds, as well as how much they pay the cast etc. So as a rule, a theater would be considered a Broadway if it seats at least 500 people.

In my younger years I was highly involved in show choir and school productions. Any way I could get on stage and strut my stuff I would take it. My sixth grade year of elementary school, the year before I would make the massive leap into middle school, I decided I would perform in my final production. The play was Aladdin and I had my eye on the role for the Genie and I wanted this role so much. I practiced this role day and night from singing to dancing to even some impressions anything that would ensure my little mind that I would get the part.

It was the winter of 2014 when my mother forced me to go to The Corner Health Center Theatre Troupe. I was livid, and acting at the time was something that I was terrified of. I felt as if I was a bird being pushed from the nest too early. I knew there was no possible way that I could be able to: one,talk to strangers, two, learn a script,

This weekend I decided to go to a play that I have hear people talking about as I walked the streets. Many people were discussing the drama that goes behind this play and as much as I wanted to join the conversation, I had to find out for myself since no one will talk to me. I have much to say about this play so let’s get started shall we.

Recently I went to the CU Boulder’s Department of Theatre and Dance and saw their play production of 44 Plays for 44 Presidents. This paper is about my critical and analytical response to this play. This historical tragi-comedy was written by Andy Bayiates, Sean Benjamin, Genevra Gallo-Bayiates, Chloë Johnston, and Karen Weinberg. The production was directed by Emily K. Harrison, and was performed in the University Theatre. Harrison 's use of comedy juxtaposed with serious moments caused me to understand the importance of the presidential office, and the important role we play in the election.

While the GDS theater program is renowned for taking some great risks in the past by performing controversial pieces that were enjoyed by many, it should not perform Suzan-Lori Parks’ play, Fucking A, for three main reasons. The first issue you would face when putting on Fucking A has to do with the explicit language in the actual title of the play. The second is the toll it would take on some of the students who act in it. And the final problem is censoring all of the horribly vulgar acts that take place in the play.

I choose to read Stage Struck by Tomie DePaola to a kindergarten class. The book Stage Struck was about a kindergarten class putting a play on for the school. The play was Peter Rabbit and the main character wanted to be the star of the play like he was in the last play they put on. He was so excited about the play that he could not focus on his work and kept talking to his friends about the play. The teacher told him to stop talking and when he did not stop, she told him he will not the lead star in the play someone else will be. He was a rabbit in the play and they did not have any lines to say. He remembers in his dance class that the audience like when they react to things on stage, like a smile or frowned. He came up with a plan to

On December 1, 2017, the One Acts performance was at Cheshire High School by the classes of 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Each grade came together to create a play, with that they went up against the other grades and competed to see who had the best play. The freshmen’s play is called, Lord of the Skits: Based on a True Story. All the characters were themselves and it was about how they were trying to come up with an idea for the One Acts play. The sophomore’s play is called, The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon. The characters played a specific role which they were assigned to and it was about different characters and how they are all linked together. The junior’s play was Touch it Part 2 with two characters. This play was about a box, the character

The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Bye Bye Birdie, and Pippin are all shows I have been a part of in my years at Sanderson. In The Mystery of Edwin Drood, I was an ensemble member, a freshman learning the ins-and-outs of theater. My next year, in Bye Bye Birdie, I was the named character Harvey Johnson who was rejected from the prom too many times to count. Last year, in Pippin, I had the privilege of being Lewis, Pippin’s brother, and a humor-based character. All things considered, I have seen growth in my ability to perform with every show I was cast in. Being a chorus student, I was able to bring my talent of singing to the table which allowed me to really focus on improving my acting. I hope to be in the musical production this year so I can
