Group Performance Evaluation a) Our farewell party at a ramen restaurant gained positive feedbacks from the class thanks to the collaboration between everyone in the group. As a person who seldom participates in drama performance, this was a fresh experience to me. I enjoyed the process in which we create the story by ourselves and perform it in front of the class. Also, I liked our simple props made the scene hilarious and more understandable. The applause from the audience at the end of the…

Acting is about you either make it or you don't. Acting has always been my passion ever since I was a little girl . I could recall watching soap operas all day with my mother , and going to sleep really late because of it . I just love the feeling of portraying another character's life and story and relived it yourself and make it your own . The thrill of bringing a writer's vision to the stage and give an outstanding performance. To have the ability of connecting a whole audience and making…

Thornton Wilder, a playwright, was very influential on the world of theater. He found an artistic way to introduce the public to different ideas about theater which were not really portrayed in the plays of that time. In Our Town, the unique role of the Stage Manager displays and exhibits these ideas. Thornton Wilder’s use of the Stage Manager is one of his great concepts. Physically, there are no specific requirements of this part. He always has a hat on and may smoke a pipe (Austell 95). He…

not only the narrator but he is also an actor in the play (Kuner 50). This actor also performs as Mrs. Forest, Mr. Morgan, and the Minister (Galens 227). Like the people in the Chinese drama he settles props on the stage, and like Chorus in Greek theatre, he speaks statements on the events in the drama (Burbank 76; Galens…

In this world, everyone has a time limit; moreover, some have more time than others. It is inevitable to beat death. That is why we are told to live life to the fullest because we never know when our time is up. Our Town is a play in three acts by Thornton Wilder that portrays this way of life. Wilder expertly utilizes the setting and literary devices to show that humans should appreciate the beautiful transient life one is given. The whole play is basically structured in three days. Thornton…

As nerve racking as auditions were, waiting for the cast list to be published may be worse. You may feel as though time itself was slowing down, stretching itself out over the entire week. Tensions during the school day grows and you start eying the other auditioners suspiciously, had they stolen your ideal role? Calm down, cast lists aren’t written in a day, and not everyone can be a lead role. Luckily, you probably don’t have to worry about whether you snag a role or not; West Delaware rarely…

On September 24, 2017, I attended a performance of Twelfth Night, which was presented by the Wichita Shake Sphere Company and was performed in Wichita Scottish Rite. Twelfth Night was directed by Kevin Sower. Stage Manager was Amanda Denning and the costumes were designed by Jane Tanner. The play lasted for about two hours. And for me the two hours went by so fast, that I didn’t even realize it. They reason behind it could be because the play was very alluring and interesting! “Twelfth…

From the play The Curse, one of the actors that I think shows some scenes of the play that quite amusing and shows a very good acting to draw other actors and the audience’s attention. Some scenes of the play did express a good idea of acting. The actor/actress is Kris Moe, who played the character as The Spirit of the Forest in some scenes of the play. From three moments of the play, Kris Moe shows some characteristics of being convincing and persuading other characters, not be manipulative,…

When I was younger, I got to know myself better through performing for others. Participating in dramas really brought out my theatrical side. About ten years ago, when I was seven, my siblings and I were part of a performing arts program called Divine Current Anointed Flow, or D.C.A.F. for short. I was excited to start our performance that day for I had watched my older siblings participate in this event before and I was finally old enough to join them. We all wore black-tees and long kakis,…

The way(s) that Shakespeare set(s) up the audience for the Battle of Shrewsbury is by Henry asking Worcester if he wants to make peace. Essentially, Worcester disagrees and says that he cannot do it even if he wanted to because of Henry’s doings—assuming that he is talking about what happened with Blunt in the last Act (Act V, Lines 1-114; Worcester and the King’s proposition conversation). Each character has a decision to make at the beginning of scene five and we really see how the decisions…
