As Miss Swamp starts her lesson the children show a look of devastation and guilt. Miss Swamp was atrocious, she would yell at the students for not good reason. When Miss Swamp would ask the children a question before they had time to answer she would interrupt and put them down. Well the children had had enough so they had put on a search to find Miss Nelson. They missed her tremendously and wanted her to come back to school and teach the class instead of old Miss Swamp. The class went to a private investigator named Detective McSmogg and his trusty sidekick. The children quickly learn that he is not going to be much use so they go on a search for her themselves. They go to Miss Nelson’s house to see if they see anything and nothing, oh wait one of the children says her comes someone. All of the children hide and there she stands Miss Swamp going into Miss Nelson’s house. The children ran in fear that Miss Swamp would see them, they never found Miss Nelson. The next week at school the children were not too thrilled to go to class knowing that Miss Swamp was going to be there. Well much to their surprise she was not, in walks none other …show more content…
All of the children were exclusively organized and remembered their lines very well. Even though I enjoyed the entire play there were a few of the characters that stood out to me more than the others. First there was Elvis played by Will Hoy, he was amazing. The way he played his character as a humorous and outgoing young man was great. He was funny and showed his expressions very well, and when he would sing on of Elvis’s songs he sounded close to Elvis himself. As he wore his black glasses, white shirt, blue jeans, and converses he showed he was very slick and well-groomed. Will done a wonderful job with playing this character. Caroline Kopt whom played Miss Nelson was very sweet. For her to be as young as she was I was amazed that she did not miss a single line, she stayed focused and played her part quiet well. Caroline wore her hair up in a bun, her clothes consisted of a dress down to her knees, flat shoes, and a jacket over her dress. She looked very classy and elegant. Detective McSmogg played by Sam Heidenreich what’s not so say about him. He was hilarious the way he would walk around and be so dramatic. He would play as if he was confused one minute then the next he would have you startled because he had a great idea. Detective Mcsmogg made the play very entertaining, as he was romping around with his back hunched over, and his high water pants and golfers hat. Delaney Shabel who played Kimberly showed that she had no

    Henrietta Leavitt was played by Katie Piper, Margaret Leavitt was played by Sarah Lambert, Peter Shaw was played by Morgan Gates, Annie Cannon was played by Julia Whalen, and Williamina Fleming was played by Beth Ryan. All of the actors were convincing of the roles they played, and I didn’t dislike any of the actors. Having to choose one favorite actor or character from this play is very difficult, but my favorite actor would be Ms. Ryan, who played the character Williamina Fleming. She was my favorite actor because she portrayed her character the best and she was convincing of her part in the play. I liked that she had a very comical part in the play too.…

    On November 22nd , 2015 , I had attended a play “A servant of Two masters” that played downtown Pittsburgh at the O’Reilly theater, the play was directed by Ted Pappas. He had put together a creative and intriguing play, having actors stay spontaneous and interact with the audience, therefore no parts would be found boring nor dry. All the actors had held up their end of their roles quite well, by fully disguising themselves as that character they were suppose to be during the entire play. In the play “A Servant of Two masters” is about a girl Clarice who originally had an arranged marriage but was called off due to her fiancé death, who was Federigo Rasponi of Turin.…

    The play “Rumors”, by Neil Simon, is an interesting tale of lies, confusion, and, most importantly, rumors. The Wrangler Theater production of this play really brought out its best, and blew me away. Firstly, the main theme for this play would best be summarized by the Mark Twain quote, “If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.” The entire play is basically about miscommunication and lying in an effort to avoid scandal.…

    Lucy McCormick, of ‘GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN’ (GITBOTV), influenced my practice through her solo workshop and subsequent conversations because I found her style and attitude towards creative work particularly stimulating and we share an enthusiasm for pushing theatrical boundaries. Her approach demonstrates that, “the question of boundaries and extremes is always in the room” (McCormick, 2014). In our workshop on ‘The Importance of Being Ernest’ Lucy got one of my classmates, Laura, to chew up cucumber and then spit it into bread. I was aware of the process involved and, of course, ate the cucumber sandwiches, to the vocal displeasure of the audience. Laurence was unwilling to eat but was encouraged to by my response.…
