Why Freshman Should Join Theatre

Acting on stage with the lights, props, and sets is all surreal. But with that being said acting is much more intricate than to just memorize lines and go on stage and recite them with simple blocking. To combine people and ideas, adding natural movements and gestures, to take the playwright's' words and turn them into your own is the beautiful art form of theatre and acting. To be able to become another person, to feel what they feel, to live their life, is very magical and astounding to me. While acting I lose myself, I am solely whoever I am portraying and I take all matters

Theatre has been a big part of my life for the past six years. I have spent countless hours rehearsing after school, memorizing lines, and attending performances. It has become a part of my life, and I cannot imagine my life without theatre. However, theatre is very difficult. When putting on productions, rehearsals last

“Acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances” said by Stanford Meisner. Theatre is an area of arts where you can be free from reality and imagine the impossible. Some of my favorite things about theatre are, the people that are involved, how helpful theatre is and how helpful everyone is, then my last thing is how much fun we have. One of my top favorite things about theatre is the people that are involved within it. Every person has a different personalities, that put together makes a new and neat experience. Theatre is an important part of my life and I enjoy every minute, while I’m there.

The first professional show I ever saw was an Off-Broadway production of On the Twentieth Century, starring Kristin Chenoweth. I remember getting swept up and consumed by the music, the dancing, the romance, the comedy, the story, and walking out of the theater astonished by the idea that there are people that do that for a living, there are people that do theater for a career, not just for fun. That is part of the reason that I decided to pursue theater, for the thrill of adventure and I know that I am not going to be doing some boring-ass desk job, but in the future I will get to use the skills that I learn in college to get my degree, and apply these skills to a career that I am excited about. To me, theater means that I get to work with

Theatre has been a prevalent form of entertainment for centuries. As time has progressed, the meaning behind theater has shifted to adapt with society appropriately. Different genres of theater have been emerging all throughout history and continue to emerge even today. There are so many different genres of theatre that any individual can relate to it. One can easily recall the major genres of theatre: drama, comedy, musicals. However, it is the sub-divisions within these major genres that evoke unique performances and experiences.

Qu1. – Theatre allows one to express emotions, escape from reality and fantasise over desired endings. Theatre re-enacts past events in an over-exaggerated, dramatic form. It is considered living art. Theatre performances require a scriptwriter, sound designer, costume designer, lighting designer, director, scenic designers, actors, technicians, dramaturges, historians and audiences. The performance can be entertaining and/or educational. For example theatrical performances are based on previous events (history), which is both visually pleasing and educational.

Being a member of theatre has caused me to grow as an individual in ways I am still beginning to understand. I believe theatre has molded me into a much more personable and tolerant person, and it has most definitely given me a high confidence level. Theatre has helped me develop my sense of self, as I’ve become highly aware of how I am perceived by others.

Going to watch my first ever play for a studio one act was a different experience that what I had imagined. I was not expecting the theatre to be smaller in size and it be like a big regular theatre. The theatre in this case was a box shaped and the stage was in the middle of the floor instead in front of the audience. The lights I thought would come as a problem as they might be shined into our eyes but they were never on the audience which was surprising to me. Also the actors and actresses has a good amount of space to act.

"The stage is a magic circle where only the most real things happen, a neutral territory outside the jurisdiction of Fate where stars may be crossed with impunity. A truer and more real place does not exist in all the universe." (P.S. Baber (Cassie Draws the Universe) This quote hits it on the spot for me what theater is, hence with how the play The Monster Who Ate my Peas played out to be brilliant acted and well done play. The things that did well, I thought was the business, the way the actor’s movement just flowed and was not awkward, and the way they interacted with the audience. Yeah, it was a children’s play, but it was very well done. Now, as we proceed I will hit on how the actors performed, the good and bad and the challenges that they had to face.

Theater has been a platform that has been used to deepen our communication and understanding of the complexities of the world around us. It teaches us through language, movement, and the establishment of intimate relationships that play to the contagious nature of emotions.

Theatre is a form of art, but instead of painting or taking a photograph, the actors tell a story through live performances. The theatre is a place for seeing, watching, and hearing. It taps into the audience's emotions, helping them experience what an art can do. Art is used for emotional power and pure beauty. It can also teach the audience and actors, about different cultures and ways of life. Art comes in many forms, painting, photography, music, but bringing all of the forms together is theatre.

What is theatre? Most people are blind to what it really is and what it can actually make you feel. It is more than just some people on a stage. when you're in the audience you feel and can actually sympathize with the people who are there on stage because they are there they are in front of you. Theatre is becoming another person to the extension where you become them. you can think in the moment of what they would think. It is countless hours of character analysis. But most importantly it is an art. An art that will never die. It is the oldest form of art. From cavemen

I can play so many aspects of myself on stage, whereas I never get to experience that in the real world. I can be evil, or sad, or quiet on stage when in reality I am shy, introverted, and loyal to a fault. It is one of the most magical experiences of my life that I know I will never find again, especially not with the group that over the course of four years has produced some of my best friends, who I will rarely see again. More than that, though, they have become my family, and I will cherish them forever. This is the true reason theatre has become my lifeline, not the love of the stage alone, but for the family I have gained on the

Unlike audiences assume, acting is not about escape. It’s not about losing yourself or falling away from reality. In actuality, acting is based in truth. For the actor, the person behind the character, it creates a space for them to come in contact with their past, good and bad. Often times people suppress their past, ignore the tough moments. The stage allows people to come face to face with these events, to process, to accept their situation. An actor might even be able to look back on a traumatic experience and change it into a positive light of giving them material to work with in scenes. Every actor’s intension in the heat of the stage is to connect. The best feeling in the world is hearing audiences laugh and cry with the story. Walking out of the dressing room and listening to people talk about the impact of theatre, the importance of the play, is an incredibly indescribable sensation. Being able to connect with hundreds of strangers watching from their red seats is the best satisfaction anyone could feel.

Theatre seemed too involved and, well, dramatic.However, when asked upon, of course, I did help my middle school theatre. I made set and prop pieces. The first ever prop
