The Performance Of A Professional Theatre Company

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.

I have chosen to explore the theme, it is unfair when innocent people are discriminated against. This is because discriminations is a big problem and can relate to nowadays. This theme is evident in the texts Edward Scissorhands by Tim Burton, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, The Maori Jesus by James K Baxter and The Help by Tate Taylor. Overall I have realised that preconceived ideas and ignorance tends to cloud people's judgement on a person and lead to discrimination.

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.

“Audiences today want a real experience in their live performance, because they can get great script based entertainment at home, through various new media sources. Traditional theatre, which appeals on a mental, and hopefully also emotional level, has not been enough to compete with other media, and audiences have been declining. Physical theatre, by contrast appeals to the audience on a physical and emotional level, providing a much more immediate experience than traditional theatre” ~ (Artmedia Publishing in Zen Zen Zo’s “The Tempest” Teacher’s Notes)

1. The theme of the story is: Racism is an issue that never seems to disappear no matter how much people say it does.

My first theme is prejudice. It is never right for one individual to own another, or for one group of people to be denied equal rights because they are different in some way. In NightJohn, they were prejudice and made African American people be enslaved and work for them and treat them differently just because they were a different color than them. I’ve seen prejudice a lot all my life. Whether it’s for for colored people or gay people or whatever, in the end we’re all the same and should all be treated equally.

You did a great job on your introductory paragraph, it seems to contain all relevant information to help readers construct an idea of what is going to be discussed over your research issue. “There have been hundreds of cases of racism in recent history, however the following examples are the most prominent and influential cases that have turned heads and made us as a population look at yourselves in the mirror and rethink how we are living our lives”. Your thesis statement seems to be well-defined and contains necessary elements to make a thesis effective. However, you should rethink about your topic and find spots on the issue that are more researchable and re-read the sources so that you can identify the main trends

The Globe Theatre became what it is today because of its history. What was its history exactly? Unfortunately, those are two questions many people don’t have an answer to. So, what is the history?

In 1933, the Great Depression was at its peak. As people were struggling to find work and survive in a crumbling economy, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created a program called The New Deal to help alleviate some of the United States’ problems; such as helping the poor and unemployed, repairing the economy, and fixing the country’s financial issues. With it, another project was formed which would radically change the world of theatre. The Federal Theatre Project, sponsored by the Works Progress Administration, funded theatre projects, employed actors, and created meaningful art (Simkin).While The Federal Theatre Project was an important tool to keep theatre alive and people employed during The Great Depression, it also had much greater after-effects; altering the role and effect of theatre in the years to come.

As a co-chair of “Soulpepper at Play,” I am proud of the funds we were able to raise on October 24, 2017, in support of the Soulpepper Theatre Company. Over $600,000 will benefit the continuation of programs that include: developing original works; mentoring youth; as well as helping new Canadians integrate into the creative community, amongst other important initiatives. A big thank you to our talented artists for their wonderful performances, which made for a memorable affair, namely Artistic Director Albert Schultz who led a lively auction that raised close to $200,000. A special thanks to our guests and patrons, who without their support, we could not reach our vision to be the City’s leading provider of creative engagement for artists.

The social issue I chose as my topic is racism. If you ever questioned what it would be like to live in the 1930’s or 1950’s, you don’t have to look far. Right now at this moment America is living through it. The individuals involve are presenting how ugly America really is. Dressed in khakis and polo’s, bearing torches, putting on Nazi memorabilia, and chanting anti-black, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim chants, white supremacist racists have descended on Charlottesville, VA., in crowds that may very well be the largest public rally of its kind in generations. With almost no resistance from local police, these public racists have marched all over town giving Nazi salutes while chanting. They have shouted every racial slur imaginable and have done so with the full knowledge that they are being filmed. And this was all before someone used a car like a torpedo to plow into a crowd. We are living in a dangerous, unstable time and I'm sure that Charlottesville isn't an outlier, but an indicator of things to come. Whatever you thought about 2017 in America, if ugliness, racism, and hatred aren't at the center of your thoughts, then you should think again.

Starting off my group tried to use the list of movement vocabulary. That didn’t work out so instead we decided to focus on what our theme or story would be. Eventually we settled on two topics, unrequited love and love at first sight.

With resounding consistency, every reference to The Theatrical Syndicate begins with the same anecdotal tale: “One day in 1896, six theatre businessmen met for lunch at the Holland House Hotel.” The gentlemen gathered that day where in a consensus about a few things, but the greatest of which being the state of the American theatre and its institutional need for centralization. (Mroczka) The aim of the following discussion is to contextualize this organization within American theatre history while illustrating the positive and negative impacts of The Theatrical Syndicate on the theatre community.

The talented actors and actresses of THEATREWORKS present a haunting and captivating production about a son returning home from a free-spirited life to his devoted, widowed mother. But dark secrets are slowly revealed from Mrs. Alving’s hidden past that not only affect her but the lives of everyone around her as well. Directed by Murray Ross, every component of this play was clearly thought out, thus leading me to give this play a score of 8 out of 10 overall.
