    production made use of only two actors, and as there are significantly more characters in the story than just two, I was intrigued and excited to see how this had been done. Herford had commissioned Mallatratt to write a Christmas show, but since he had a very limited budget, it being the end of the season, he told Mallatratt that he “can’t afford to have more than four actors or elaborate sets”. By making the audience feel as though the theatre was empty but for the two actors, Mallatratt…

    When discussing the content of the theater, I like seeing themes that explore overcoming some type of struggle or just wanting to be loved. The characters I like to see is people who actually show deep emotion in who they are playing. I like for the actors to actually fulfill the characters actions and rolls making me feel as if I have the same feelings he or she is portraying in the play. The plots that interest me during a play is actually seeing a character try over and over…

    that most who are in the theatre did join for this very reason, there are some points where the similarities of watching and participating detour into major differences. I preface this with a brief glimpse into my background. First off, I was not an actor. I loved the theatre very much and wanted to become a part of it, however I was not one for being on stage performing.

    overcome my weaknesses. Along with that, I really want to try out some serious roles with some serious characters talking about serious topics, that is a line that I haven’t crossed yet that I am looking forward to cross. Along with any progressing actor, I have strengths as well as my share of weaknesses. One of my biggest weakness that I very recently realized I had was that I am afraid to make mistakes.

    That is really great! I have interviewed many young actors who have acted longer than you and have not won any awards. That is something to be proud of. Aw, thank you. Not to put down the others at all, but it 's neat that you 've jumped in, and they have recognized your talent in that way. Aw, thanks. In your career so far, what do you think has been your most challenging role? I 'd say my most challenging role was the first play I was ever in. It was a two hander play at the Arts Club…

    is not exactly a new concept in modern times. However, in the Elizabethan era, the concept of meta-theatre was one of the first iterations of this. In a nutshell, meta-theatre describes the blurred line between the world and the stage, audience and actor, reality and illusion, seeming and being; much like the breaking of the fourth wall does today in digital media. In Hamlet, this concept of meta-theatre is depicted through Hamlet’s viewing of himself being in a play. Whereas he is truly…

    they want to be an amazing actor one day because their major was entertainment/theatre. How I felt about this play is that it was not to my high expectation when I saw it. The actors in some scene was be fragile when they was acting. In the other scene of the play of “The Good Doctor” was great, for “The Sneezer” the actor in that play caught the audience attention. The actor in that act was showing so much emotion in that act and I could tell the relationship with the actors in it was strong.…
