Before taking this class, I could say that I had no idea what class I should take in the fall semester. I just looked for the class that satisfied my requirement. One class I have seen in the requirement is “An introduction to theatre.” Its name made me confused what we would learn in that class. In addition, there were several questions coming to my mind. Do we have to cast to be the actor in theatre as one of requirement? Do we need to lecture all the time? How much boring of the class is? Or what materials should we get? How is the professor and TA?

I feel like everyday in this class I have a little bit more about myself.…

    In my opinion, my desire to be a state thespian officer could be summarized by my childhood girl scout troop’s mantra which was “Wherever you go make it a better place when you leave”. The arts programs over the course of my entire public education have served me well and continues to. This love for theatre has stemmed all the way from 1st grade Annie with my debut role of Kate the orphan to now an over 50 cast of Beauty and the Beast. I believe that the best way I can repay this debt back and make theatre a better place is through being a state thespian officer. Without theatre, I truly don’t know who I would be and I would like to do my best to not only improve arts programs across the state but, also bring the arts to those less fortunate improving theatre for all from when I first entered it all those years ago.…

    “Chicago,” I said, as we drove past the Chicago Theatre. I read every word that my eyes could catch as we sped down the attractive streets of downtown Chicago. I was not sure where my driver was taking me, but I knew that I did not want to be in the car with this mean old woman anymore. She was my new caseworker, Ms. Jordan, and she was in charge of finding me a family. My old caseworker was Ms. Kelly, she was nice and she always made me feel loved.…

    I did not have much knowledge about theatre or drama except that I was aware that Western understanding of theatre originated from the Greeks and they had a tradition of wearing masks to identify with the characters, they are also assumed to be the inventors of tragedies and comedies. I was aware of the Greek tragedy Agamemnon because I read an excerpt of a play named ‘The Browning Version’ in which one of the characters, who is a student, remarks the play as ‘muck’. I read Macbeth by William Shakespeare in 9th grade and I also read a famous play in 10th grade titled ‘Death of a Salesman’ by Arthur Miller, it is known to be one of the most prominent plays in American literature and culture. Although, I have not seen many plays as much as I have read them. The recent play I watched was my high school production of Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ which although was a small production, was still…

    There is a moment, before the large expanse of the red curtain is drawn back and the radiant glare of the lights will flood the stage, when I wonder if I can go through it. My stomach feel as if it’s a dryer in a high spin cycle and the adrenaline running through my veins makes me feel the most confident and most insecure I’ve ever felt. There is something so intimate about live theatre that it’s simultaneously terrifying and thrilling. Then the music begins, I close my eyes, and I take a deep breath. I open my eyes and the nerves are gone because I am no longer me but a character entering a world that is authentically their own.…

    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…

    What does theatre mean to me? As I review the questions provided for me to include in my goal statement, I feel lucky to express how theatre is unique to me and how I structure my everyday life around the dramatic arts.

I started off with this philosophy at an early age and have not forgotten about it since. In my opinion, acting is not solely about the individual’s performance, but about how an individual actor can use their confidence and passion to impact other actors, enhance a production, and inspire the audience.…

However, it was also exciting that so many parents, students, and community members were involved with theatre at Fort Collins High School and gave me hope for how things could be improved at Poudre. The responses to the play were appropriate and positive, and the performers received a deserved standing ovation at the end of the…
