When I went to see the international spelling bee I expected what you would of some run down high school version of a play. At my school we didn’t really have a vast drama club so my expectations were sort of low for this piece. It was kind of like when you go to attend a film in theatres you see all of these commercials and then attend the movie to just rewatch the key parts that they already presented to you in the commercial. One does not have this with live theatre I did not know what to expect. I had not heard anything about the play besides that it was extra credit. The only thing I had to relate to the show before I saw it was my old experiences of live theatre.
When I actually got to view this live show I was amased. The story was

    Furthermore, the stage setup was utilized well. With the stage in the middle, they had three sides of audience seats that surrounded the stage. I thought this set up made the play more interactive and able to focus on the main character more closely. The lighting for this play was used effectively as well.…

    J-Cat Cultural Arts Theater Analysis

    For my final project, I chose to collaborate at the J-cat Cultural Arts Theater under the supervision of Michael Andron. The play that I collaborated on was called “Shrek the musical”. My initial duty in this play was to control the character’s microphones. However, due to low tech staffing, I was offered an open position in lighting, and even though I did not get the chance to be in the booth to control the microphones, I was able to see how both sound and lighting played an important role in this play. Ever since lighting rehearsals started, I was able to see how the lighting changes the mood of the scene and how each actor, when they were in the spotlight, had their own unique story to tell.…

    Wit Play Character Analysis

    The play Wit, written by Margaret Edson, is full of intriguing characters that develop in their own ways throughout the play. Despite the many characters, there is one that really caught my attention. Susie, the nurse, is a character unlike any of the others. Edson gave her characteristics to separate her from the others and make her a standout character. Susie is the mother character of the play, meaning she is kind-hearted and caring, unlike the other characters.…

    Betty's Diner Play Analysis

    I thought the play was well written well played and the actors really did an awesome job of grabbing my attention. The actors acting from the emotionally standpoint was very well played with the crying and you could even feel it during their soliloquy songs as if what was displayed in the musical actually happened to them which was very good. Also, the singing was very good, the actors’ vocals had good harmony pitch and volume making it tolerable. The audience laughed at the jokes and for some reason they clapped at the end of each scene but my knowledge of live plays are limited as it was my first one. Most of the audience stayed after the show to meet the actors and tell them what a good job they did.…

    Speech And Debate Play Analysis

    I was extremely excited to watch Brooklyn College’s rendition of Speech and Debate. The reasoning behind my excitement was that whilst reading the play written by Stephan Karam, I quickly realized that it’s humor and authenticity were aspects that I typically enjoy to a great extent in stories, whether that be in the form of a television show, movie, or play. I also felt that I was readily prepared to watch the show meticulously and focus on its acting and casting aspects. I chose the acting facet of the production to be the focal point of my review yet again because I understand that I could have pushed further and been more detail oriented when writing my previous review. Brooklyn College’s Speech and Debate had a small cast of four actors.…

    Rent: Play Analysis

    As the actors spun the set design I became filled with anticipation for what was about to occur, but as the musical progressed my excitement toward the play dwindled. It was almost as if the initial spinning of the stage disoriented me and I was dizzy and confused for the rest of the night. Without the girls beside me explaining the play to each other during intermission I never would have known what was going on. The actors all performed wonderfully, but there were too many actors with unspoken problems to follow.…

    Dead Theatre Reflective Essay

    Initially I started this assignment by carefully reviewing over the worksheet given to me before the in-class assignment. The assignment was to create a scene with “silent tension” and to incorporate several elements such as a moment of pause. Even though I might not have to direct the scene, I started to think in a sense of how a director might approach this assignment and create a scene. I started to reference the “dead theatre” essay written by Peter Brook. I wanted to create a scene that the audience could emotionally and spiritually relate to.…

    Black Theatre Analysis

    One of the first things discussed in Eleanor Traylor's essay about Black theatre are the two main forms of contributions made which are minstrel show and slave narrative which is what she focuses on the most. Minstrel show is the first American dramatic form which came from the "tradition of confrontation and improvisation of grace under pressure" (48) which did not have the same roots as European contexts. The process of the creation of minstrel shows was created in America by African people. The contrast between the mask of the blues hero and the tragic protagonist also come into play when looking at the influence of African Americans. It goes beyond the journey, but into the rhythms and vision as well as the angle in which they see life…

    Broadway Show Analysis

    A second notoriously racist Broadway show born in the “Golden Age” of theatre is Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s musical, The King and I. However, this show is not notorious for appropriating black American culture, but rather Asian culture in Siam. The King and I differs from Show Boat, however, because it is based on a true story. In The King and I, a Welsh, widowed school teacher is brought in by the King of Siam to tutor his children. There is a clashing of personalities between the governess, Anna, and the King, but they eventually they seen through each other’s differences and fall in love.…

    Orchestra Concert Review Essay

    The emotions expressed by not only the music but by how the musicians looked while playing these pieces made me believe that this show meant a lot to them because they would sway to the music when they weren’t playing. It had my emotions spiral out of control because some of the music was happy then it turned sad in an instance, then it would go right back to something whimsical. It’s not the typical kind of music that I would listen to daily but I am happy that I got to attend this event and hear something that I wouldn’t normally.…
