Play Time

The musical Singin’ In The Rain was an enjoyable experience that had myself laughing and following along with the classical music hits. Being completely honest, I’m not a person who would go to a musical on my own freewill, plays just never had my interest. I remember as a kid, my best friend was into musical movies, so had to sit through Chicago and even Singin’ In The Rain and pretended to like them. However, viewing this musical in college with young students as the actors it seemed more…

attended a play “A servant of Two masters” that played downtown Pittsburgh at the O’Reilly theater, the play was directed by Ted Pappas. He had put together a creative and intriguing play, having actors stay spontaneous and interact with the audience, therefore no parts would be found boring nor dry. All the actors had held up their end of their roles quite well, by fully disguising themselves as that character they were suppose to be during the entire play. In the play “A Servant…

An Exploratory Model of Play is a journal-article in the American Anthropologist journal written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Stith Bennett. The author’s main purpose for writing this article is to present the reader with an abstract idea of what it is to “play.” They do so by giving the reader several examples of different games that are used as a form of play and what defines the games as play; the authors conveyed this through several game examples. For example, the authors briefly talked…

During my observation at Gorse Children's Center, there is a clear theme that I observe among children during their play time. The differences in temperament differentiate children and their playing strategies. In this report, I will discuss the two types of personality, High Activity, and Low Activity. I will compare how three children in the age of 4-5 I observed chose their group play, interact with toys and peers differently because of distinct temperaments. Low Activity personality can be…

Throughout the play, tension is built in the atmosphere to develop the audience’s knowledge of Eddie’s character. Eddie’s protective attitude towards Catherine and ignorance of Beatrice’s presence allows the audience to discover Eddie’s blinded love for Catherine. Arthur Miller cleverly structures the play in a way that insignificant events build up to reveal Eddie’s duplicitousness; the ultimate reason for the tragic ending of “A View from the Bridge”. The use of rhetorical questions in this…

In November of 2016, I saw the play All in the Timing put on by the Wachusett Theatre Company.The play is comprised of a series of short skits, none having to do with next one.

The problem with plays that don’t have a cohesive plot is the transition from one skit to the next. But with the organization of the skits and well timed blackouts the transitions were seamless. One thing I…

That’s when I reflected on the idea that I should make the…
