This play doesn’t speak much about me as a person, but as you narrow down to the characters, it does. The theme of this play is what I assume happens at a big Halloween house party. There were characters I chose resemble my traits such as easy going and laid back. I'm also typically a person who is really can take a joke and can talk about almost anything, and because of these characteristics, I'd classify myself as a person who is can easily befriend. In life, I want to be work my way up to…

Twelfth Night Opinion Essay Many people argue that Twelfth Night is a play that shouldn’t be taught in schools. Although Twelfth Night should stay as a teaching guide to grade nine students. The morals, English skills and humor taught in the book can help students not only in school academically, but also in real life situations. In this day and age many adolescents do not know what the word loyalty means nor do they know how to demonstrate it. However by reading Twelfth Night students can…

Lindsay-Abaire was hosted in the Knox Performing Art theatre. Initially after reading the play itself, I found the play somewhat interesting with few moments of having me at disbelief because of how straightforward some of the scenes can be. But after watching the play at the theatre, I’ve been left with a more bitterness than happiness of how the play was portrayed. But I will explain that later in my review of this mediocre play. I entered the theatre on Friday, October 16th. Being my first…

As a constantly evolving art, our group got to create and develop the innovative creative process for portraying the story to the audience.

Godspell Analysis Attending a collegiate play was both a new and exciting experience for myself. Any sort of performance that I had previously attended had been through my times in middle school. To go along with this previous experience, I had absolutely no idea what to expect coming in. Generally speaking, the plays in middle schools are obviously uncoordinated and it’s obviously expected for many mistakes to be made throughout the duration. Through my attendance of a rehearsal a few weeks…

I cannot remember a moment of my life where theatre has not been important for me. Being involved from a young age, I was destined to be on stage. It was not until I entered high school when I realized how difficult theatre can be; actors cannot go on stage without understanding the play, designers cannot outline anything without the proper information, and a director cannot direct without a grasp on the themes and ideas of the show. It all comes down to the research for the production. Without…

In ancient Greece, the ideal of comedy was mainly formed from the idea of "this couldn't happen." This form was used in the play, "Lysistrata", to illustrate this point. Such ideas were the sexual content, women as leaders, and a female controlled society. As mentioned above, the ancient Greeks see the impossible as comedic and as a result, the abovementioned elements of the play to be comedic too, because in that time those ideas were unimaginable. As a comparison, here and now, we may not…

Schematic Play If you are from the UK or if you were there sometime between 1997 and 2001 then you will not have escaped the phenomenon that was the Teletubbies! Like Marmite you either loved them or hated them. The theme tune infiltrated adult brains and could be heard being whistled along most supermarket shopping aisles at any given point during the week! However there was one catchphrase that resonated with me at the time and that was ‘again, again!’ At that time I was working with under 3s…

The location of the play was at the University of North Texas in the Radio, Television and Film building. Inside of the building there was a black box, and a smaller room to the side, that had a set that perfectly portrayed the time period. The couches and chairs really seemed to fit with the era that the play was set in. Also, to the sides of the set there were large representations of windows that lights shown on throughout the play. Each set of lights depicted a different part of the day to…
