My Experience:
A Mid(Winter) Night’s Dream
On November 16, 2016 at 8pm, I attended a play entitled A Mid(Winter) Night’s Dream. Since I myself know very little about shakespearean plays, I walked in expecting a dramatic, serious play, but was shook to realize that it was actually a hilarious comedy. I brought a friend to watch the play with me, and even she was saying how much she loved it while walking out of the theatre. Not only was the play overall remarkable, but it also showed many lessons on life. The play was mostly about loves difficulty within four characters, Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius. The play also shows us the works of destiny. And lastly, a main theme throughout the entire play are dreams. To begin with, as soon

The only thing that broke their love was the magical potion, which was not their decision. I believe that there is love that is as strong as theirs. Hermia’s father was against their love from the start, he wanted Hermia to marry Demetrius. But, she had other plans. She listened to what her heart told her and in the end her and Lysander got married. In my personal experience, I have noticed that sometime parents may disagree with your significant other, but at the end of the day, it is only you that knows what the right and wrong thing to do is. I believe that there is a message throughout this entire play, that against all odds, love always prevails. But, although there seems to be a lot of drama in this play, A Mid(Winter) Night’s Dream is not a romance, it is a comedy, in which the audience is invited to laugh out the different ways in which love can make us blind, foolish and even desperate. So, although some may see the inner working within the play, at the end of the day the play is meant for …show more content…
In my perspective, I feel like the actors did an outstanding job portraying the characters they were playing. They all did a great job portraying the comedy in the play, which was my favorite part of the play (I could not stop laughing for my life). I was drawn into the play the whole time, as if I was a part of their play. I could barely even notice any “forced” acting because it all seemed so natural. Also, they did a remarkable job flowing every scene or point. I did not notice any breaks, where there was nothing going on. But, mostly I enjoyed the play because I was able to relate to a lot of the themes and was able to put myself in some of the characters shoes. I would definitely recommend this play to anybody who is looking for a good drama while also looking for a comedy in which you will not stop laughing. I had my eyes glued on the play the entire time, and honestly it was all worth

    I think they were successful because they added comedy, which made it fun to watch and easier to understand. The play was so well written that everything just came together. Also, I believe the goal was to keep the audience on their ties to include them into the play so it could seem like we were n a journey with them. In this way the author makes sure he engages the audience so they wouldn’t be left behind. Yes, overall I do think the artist achieved their goal.…

    The performance meant a lot to me because it gave me a whole new perspective in the importance of dancing. The dance represented a familiar scenario which I recognized in professional theaters. This was worth my money and time because I was amused and thrilled with new content. The theme of the dance was easy to recognize because of the performers body language and visual appearance. It basically let me know whether it was dark or happy themed.…

    This produced much laughter from the audience and it was difficult for Eugene and I to hold back our laughter. The stage crew also appreciated my company and thought I was accomplishing an excellent job in the play. Perhaps the most noteworthy friend I made was Mr. Schaefer himself. Mr. Schaefer assisted me extensively while we rehearsed for the play. When I possessed difficulty speaking my lines clearly he taught me how to speak them more clearly and gradually.…

    Romeo And Juliet Critique

    The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story between two dynamic characters, who have a forbidden love. I chose to see the UWG Theatre Company’s production on Wednesday, November 18, in the Richard L. Dangle Theatre because I have loved the theatre and the stage since a young age. I also made a special effort to see Romeo and Juliet since I have seen numerous versions of the script both on the screen and on stage. I will say that the UWG Theatre Company’s production of the show was relevant, modern, and helped to bring Shakespeare to life. Many would say that Romeo and Juliet is outdated and irrelevant, but I believe that we can find relevancy in every one of Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets- especially Romeo and Juliet.…

    Refried Elvis is a swiftly paced parody that packs a Presley punch. With familiar tunes and modern jokes, it’s fun for the whole family. From beginning to end it’s as smart as it is funny, and guaranteed to entertain. I found the acting to be nearly impeccable, as all on stage seemed entirely committed to their characters, actions, and intent. No matter how serious or silly the scene, I found the believability to be there.…
