I envision the women in long skirts, tights, and loose white blouses with their hair pulled back in neat buns, and I envision the mean in white shirts, boots with neutral colored boots and pants. These costumes are inexpensive because most of the actors will already have the necessary pieces. I would try to create some sort of neutral backdrop (beige or champagne colored) to block out the backstage area and create the illusion of an indoor room. I doubt there will be much special lighting used…
brought comedy to the play, yet played a betrayer. Factor made the audience laugh frequently, but when it came to being serious, it was a bit dull. He didn’t expressed as much emotions from his face, but he did expressed a bit within his voice. The actors did meet the potential of deception within their character, yet threw in some funny puns that made the audience…
individuals would attract a large number of the youthful and popular culture in the same way people were attracted to Becoming Jane because of Anne Hathaway. In conclusion, my adaptation would be appealing in the entertainment industry because of the actors and…
of Hollywood movies or live theatre, whether you’re a Tina Fey, Sutton Foster, Robert Deniro or Alan Cumming fan, you simply love to watch people put themselves out there. Specifically, there is one thing these people share in common: they are all actors. Some may perform on a stage, and some may stand in front of a camera day and night on end, but in the end they are primarily similar. Ranging from their blooming popularity, to their movement and believability, film and stage acting are both…
knew that I was going to be proven wrong. Featuring a myriad of Broadway hits, the soundtrack of this performance is what you would expect on a show-tunes playlist. Instead of making it difficult to live up to, the familiar soundtrack worked in the actors favor, with the entire audience humming along to almost every tune. Each song was brought to life not just through the lyrics, but the choreography as well. Mayme Paul did a fantastic job of matching the choreography not just to the tempo but…
Garden of Eden. James Still’s adaptation on the well-known play by Mark Twain brings us a beautiful romantic tale, that makes us laugh, cry, and think a little deeper. The differing actors preforming the characters brought new life and excitement to a role each time you started becoming comfortable with the latest actor/actress. During the first act, directed by Baxter Willhelm, I found…
she has won and been nominated for numerous awards at such a young age and only being out in the entertainment world for such a short amount of time. Cara Delevingne had started modeling at the age of ten in an editorial shot by Bruce Weber, an American fashion photographer and filmmaker, for Vogue Italia. In 2009, she signed with Storm Model Management. Then in 2012, that’s when her fame really started to kick in, when she was twenty years old. Her first catwalk appearance was at the 2011…
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…
Nora Helmer is a very complicated character despite the fact that at the beginning of this play it seems like quite the opposite. At the beginning of act one, Nora is whimsical and gleeful and very much like a child. She is very much living in a fantasy world or a doll’s house as the title of the play suggests. Nora has been taught since birth to be similar to a doll. Her father treated her as such in the past and so does her husband at the time the play takes place. However, once her illusion…
I saw Michael Frayn’s production of Noises Off in Upton Hall (Warren Theater), which on Buffalo State’s Campus on March 4,2016 at 8om. The play was directed by Jennifer Toohey. I did not expect the play to be as funny since I did not understand the book. However, the play was extremely funny and I enjoyed it. I still did not fully understand when they were switching from Noises Off and Nothing On, but the play was amusing. I loved scene 2 because as an audience member I always wonder what is…
