Method acting

“Come and look at the freaks,” are song lyrics from “The Sid e Show” and that is what the play is about, freaks. The Siamese twins were called freaks simply because they were joined together by a piece of flesh. “The Side Show” was a very great play. Since it was a musical, I knew I would enjoy it. I do not think there was one thing I did not enjoy about the play. The reason I enjoyed the play is because the story about the freaks was very vivid and understanding. The actors, costumes, music,…

It was a simple day in a dark theater, my father had left me alone with a friend in this weird booth with a lot of buttons, switches, sliders and dials. It seemed really cool to me and he had even left me with my favorite of his friends, Paul Riopelle. My father walked out of the booth and into the lobby and he didn’t come back before the show started but Paul assured me that my father would be back soon. So we sat and watched the play and it was really funny actually, I don’t remember much of…

I arrived at the Wednesday night showing of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the Bellamy not knowing what to expect. I had never been to a Shakespeare production before, but I enjoyed the first production, A Streetcar Named Desire, so I had high expectations for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I thought I would like A Streetcar Named Desire more since it was a realistic play and a little more relatable than fairies and spells, but I was completely wrong. Even though A Midsummer Night’s Dream was not…

Demolishing Everything with Amazing Speed was a delight to experience, no matter the gruesome aspects of the show. Overall, the production was fantastical because of the cast cohesion, the non-linear plot structure, the variety of set choices including the scale of them, and the range of technology used throughout it. As a theatre student, however, much of this was a learning experience to watch the puppeteers, looking for the production characteristics of the piece: how are they creating a…

I have recently had the pleasure to attend one of the best plays of my life. The Title of this play is 16 Wounded written by, Eliam Kraiem. I had the fortune that the producing entity was the Sopris Theatre Company at Colorado Mountain College, therefore It was right here at the Glenwood Springs College and I saw the show on Thursday night of the second week. I recognized some of the major participants in this production such as that it was directed by Wendy S. Moore, whom I thought did a…

didn’t see anything odd in the play with their acting. It was all natural as a play. The quality of this play was very satisfied, beyond my expectation. The casts worked in harmony with each other, which was very…

raspy voice because these types of actors are not the model people company executives want to present to their audience. Instead, movies look to exploit women’s flaws and then find a solution using “beauty products,” lavish clothes, or singing and acting lessons to perfect their faults. Movies such as Easter Parade (1948), Singin’ in the Rain (1952), and My Fair Lady (1964) take the…

About two years ago, the feminine care product company, Always, came out with a commercial that supported women. The commercial is named #LikeAGirl. This commercial brings to the light the way girls are viewed in this society. The commercial particularly targets the phrase, “like a girl” that is normally used as an insult in today’s society. #LikeAGirl shows several girls and some boys being questioned about the phrase “like a girl”. #LikeAGirl clearly shows how a girl’s self-esteem diminishes…

And in the vast sea of Hollywood, that breed is nearly extinct. Young people who can act as positive role models are almost as…
