    Peter and the Starcatcher is an exhilarating and adventurous story that tells the tale of the well known free-spirited boy, Peter Pan’s backstory. Peter and the Starcatcher is based on the 2004 novel written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, which was fashioned into a play by Rick Elice. I had an exceptional experience of seeing the play on March 29, at 9:30, adapted by director, Kerry Bishop on the A.B Lucas Secondary School stage. This play certainly catches the whimsical and wonderful essence of the boy who never grew up and how he came to be. Starring Aidan Peters as Peter, Makayla Ashenden as Molly Astor, Michael Jenkinson as Black Stache and the entire A.B Lucas cast put together a humorous and heartwarming performance, leaving me on…

    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 distinctively visual qualities allow composers to effectively explore significant aspects of life and give responders an insight into human suffering and strength. John Misto successfully conveys this notion thoroughly in his play ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ that demonstrates an emotional and physical response from its audience. Through the experiences of the main characters, Bridie and Sheila, Misto creates vivid and distinctive images of the suffering they endured and the strength they had to survive. Similarly ‘Gallipoli’ by Peter Weir captures this through the distinctively visual horrific journey of the main characters Archie and Fran. Both composers explore concepts of suffering, survival and strength in their texts, confronting their…

    Sweeny Todd Analysis

    John Moore’s production of Sweeny Todd was a refreshing take on the classical tale. The artists brought to life a convincing dark comedy on how revenge and violence can consume a person until they are blinded by it. I believe the artists not only wanted to elicit a response from the audience but also leave them with a warning about the horrors of revenge and the importance of letting go of what is hurting your heart and soul. First, for the most part the musical accomplished their purpose. The audience from start to finish was enthralled by the production.…

    I recently enjoyed the Frisco Community Theatre production of EVITA the musical. The message I took in while watching this play is follow your dreams no matter what. This message was perhaps very clear to the audience because the main character would not settle for anything less even though she was getting backlash for stealing the love interest of another character. The directors, actors, and designers were very distinguished in transporting us to where the story takes place.…

    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.…

    The creation of musicals into movies may not accurately depict the story of the musical and important details may be lost. Movie directors often prefer popular and well-known actors over those who bear the proper talent for a given role. In a movie version of a musical, you often miss the small subtleties that vary between performances, be it a dropped line, an interesting recovery, or a prop malfunction. You also tend to miss the small modifications brought on stage by the director. In addition, there is a loss of catharsis between the actors and the audience in a movie musical.…

    Over the centuries, theatre conventions evolved from the highly presentational performances of the Greeks to the extravagance of Elizabethan productions and eventually conglomerated to produce contemporary theatre. The University Playhouse’s performance of Acting: The First Six Lessons expressed this conglomeration of Greek and Elizabethan conventions through elements of presentational theatre, a non-localized set, and a supporting cast that functioned similar to a chorus or ensemble. This performance also altered conventions through the addition of female actors, use of representational aspects, adaption of the functions of the chorus or ensemble, and lack of a raised stage. In the following sections, I will discuss the adoption and adaptation…

    The Royal Family, written by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, is a play about three generations of a wealthy family during the 1920s. I watched the play on December 6, 2015 at the Pierce College Arts Building. The play was directed Anita Adcock, who did great job setting the play as she intended it to be. Everything from the costumes, the lighting, to the typecasting was excellently produced. Particularly, the set design was able to greatly express the theme of the play.…

    I found the use of dramatic lighting to play the largest role in the ghost scenes where inflicting fear was intended. In singular, flashing fluorescent colors of white and green gave great detail. The sound designer used simulated reality to portray realistic sounds in the play as man-made, and not technological. This made the play feel legitimate, and less like a performance, as if I was observing it in the real world. The set, however, was the most enticing of all the visual effects.…

    Music in film can have many purposes. It can change the mood of the audience, alert them to danger, or even be used to give exposition of the story to the audience. The latter, along with its variation, such as a monologue delivered in song, are used to create musicals--a genre used by Disney since its very beginning. For this journal I watched Disney’s Moana to see how it used music to move the plot, and influence its audience.…

    Another technique element of sound is the sound effect within the scene. For example, the loud echoes of Danny's tricycle make on the tile at the beginning of the scene, gives viewers the sense of isolation and terror because of the emptiness of the hotel and the loneliness that the character has to face. In contrast, when Danny's riding his tricycle on rugs which, sounds like an almost muted, hidden and restrained, the sound of him rolling across the narrow hallway; this impacts the viewer's sense of anticipation through confined space like a small hallway.

    Although coming-of-age and social class struggle are significant adversities faced by Shinji and Hatsue, there is yet a greater conflict in Yukio Mishima’s The Sound of Waves. In writing about the value of cultural purity, and, thus, emphasizing traditional Japanese customs, Mishima constructs a secondary conflict within his narrative regarding the opposition between tradition and modernity, which despite its peripheral role in Mishima’s novel, illuminates important aspects of his writing, especially concerning his stylistic choices. Diction and figurative language, through their respective connotations, help to elevate tradition to a romantic ideal, while, at the same time, characterize modernization as a force of evil, capable of moral corruption…
