Group Performance Evaluation a) Our farewell party at a ramen restaurant gained positive feedbacks from the class thanks to the collaboration between everyone in the group. As a person who seldom participates in drama performance, this was a fresh experience to me. I enjoyed the process in which we create the story by ourselves and perform it in front of the class. Also, I liked our simple props made the scene hilarious and more understandable. The applause from the audience at the end of the…

Acting is about you either make it or you don't. Acting has always been my passion ever since I was a little girl . I could recall watching soap operas all day with my mother , and going to sleep really late because of it . I just love the feeling of portraying another character's life and story and relived it yourself and make it your own . The thrill of bringing a writer's vision to the stage and give an outstanding performance. To have the ability of connecting a whole audience and making…

Thornton Wilder, a playwright, was very influential on the world of theater. He found an artistic way to introduce the public to different ideas about theater which were not really portrayed in the plays of that time. In Our Town, the unique role of the Stage Manager displays and exhibits these ideas. Thornton Wilder’s use of the Stage Manager is one of his great concepts.

That is why we are told to live life to the fullest because we never know when our time is up. Our Town is a play in three acts by Thornton Wilder that portrays this way of life. Wilder expertly utilizes the setting and literary devices to show that humans should appreciate the beautiful transient life one is given. The whole play is basically structured in three days. Thornton…

As nerve racking as auditions were, waiting for the cast list to be published may be worse. You may feel as though time itself was slowing down, stretching itself out over the entire week. Tensions during the school day grows and you start eying the other auditioners suspiciously, had they stolen your ideal role? Calm down, cast lists aren’t written in a day, and not everyone can be a lead role. Luckily, you probably don’t have to worry about whether you snag a role or not; West Delaware rarely…

On September 24, 2017, I attended a performance of Twelfth Night, which was presented by the Wichita Shake Sphere Company and was performed in Wichita Scottish Rite. Twelfth Night was directed by Kevin Sower. Stage Manager was Amanda Denning and the costumes were designed by Jane Tanner. The play lasted for about two hours. And for me the two hours went by so fast, that I didn’t even realize it. They reason behind it could be because the play was very alluring and interesting! “Twelfth…

How to Make Your Own Bold Pest With the recent revival of carnival acts, the art of Burlesque has revived all over the world. An elegant and creative play that will show a lot of shows gathered popularity with names like Gypsy Rose Lee and Sally Rand in the 20 's and 40' s (though it continued loud and long! Neo and Guerilla's BAR LAKE show is pop (unexpected in the latter case!) It stands everywhere, there is no reason why you can not become part of it. I can not help you with the dance step,…
