8th Grade Play Analysis

Improved Essays
This year’s 8th grade play was a comical family show. The play was about a dad who was telling his children bedtime stories. As he was an accountant, he messed some of the most well-known classical stories, adding elements of ninjas and dragons and much more. One of the 8th graders said that she loved how the story took a magical turning point. According to Ms. Larissa, the speciality of this play was that there was no main character but rather every single one of the characters had a significant role in the drama. She decided to do so because she felt that every single 8th grader was unique and originative in their own way.

In the beginning of the school year, many 8th graders were introverted. Some were new to the class, while others were

    For some of the 16-17 years girl the life is hard and complicated and for some look to be delicate and quite. The focus of the play goes one by one to each girl, which try to show her problems and opinion about a different situation that may affect these girls and sometimes makes these girls cries, screaming or arguing between their groups.

    Joseph Cornell was an artist known for his shadow box art. He kept his interests separate and together by creating these boxes which also reflected the small wooden house in which he lived. The script is made of compartments rather than having one event trigger another. A character may come into a scene or Cornell may move out of a scene and the scene completely changes. It is not always clear if the stage directions are to only be followed or if some are to be read.…

    I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a production of ''The Diviners,'' on Sunday, March the Nineteenth. The performance was put on by the Calhoun Community College theatre department. The play was staged in the black box theatre of The Alabama Center for the Arts in Decatur, Alabama. It was an impressive performance especially when considering the size and arrangement of the stage. Even with such limitations, the cast were able to turn the stage into a window into prohibition era Indiana.…

    Of course, the similarities of both the play and the playwright’s version is that the characters in both remain fairly the same despite who plays it. They had the same backstory, same motif, and frankly the same issues to face which cannot be taken out of production. That is the “meat” of the show, in other words, so the director cannot change the characters immensely. Nevertheless, Last of The Boys was a production worth watching.…

    I remember the first day of middle school as a sixth grader. I was nervous yet excited to meet new friends, though I’m not the best at it. I would head to the cafeteria every morning as soon as my dad dropped me off. My friends and I along with many other students would gather around the cafeteria before class starts, but far across the table I was sitting was a different table. That table had students that seem to me, very uncontrollably hyper and obnoxious but isolated.…

    The Snow Queen Recently, I had the chance to see The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson at Park Square Theater. The play presented itself different from the time the viewer walked in. When walking in, viewers were greeted with a friendly staff, whose goal was to make each persons view easier and more enjoyable. At first glance, the stage looked different from what most would come to expect. The theater itself appeared clean and prepared for an audience expecting something similar to Frozen.…

    Intricate details on the scenery made the buildings feel authentic and inviting, grabbing my attention from the moment I walked in the theatre. The costuming was also fantastic, portraying the time period well and adding even more authenticity to the production. All of these individual aspects of a play production acted as an important role, but none of them caught my attention as much as the storyline. I was entwined in the story from the moment the stage lights came on, engulfing myself in the man-made atmosphere presented in front of me. The story went on to tell a tale of a greedy…
