Specific performance

sound of a cat being hit, give the impression of John searching through storage to find a handbag. These impressions are made through sound because the action the sound represents would be too expensive, too difficult or too short to include in the performance. The piano sound used in act I, was probably not included into the actual scene because a piano is very expensive and it would not be worth the price of the piano for just two parts of an act. The bird sounds used in act II, were probably…

The group of friends standing right in front of us jumped and sang every word of the songs being sung. We were only 30 seconds into the first song he sang, there was no one in the crowd in sight just standing there. Days before, I remember counting down for the day to approach. Waiting for that day filled with country music, sunshine, cowboy boots, and hats. It was the stereotypical perfect day, i've been waited for this the entire summer, ever since we heard of it on Wild Country 99. With, a…

Plays and stories are different in many ways, but they are also similar in many ways also. Do you ever watch a play and think of how it’s different or similar to the book? Well I did when I saw The Necklace, The Monkey’s Paw, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Jumping Frog, and The Tell Tale Heart. I did find some differences and similarities from the book and the play, here are some. One way that plays are different from books is that in a play you can see what they are talking about so what you…

On January 29th the show choir group traveled to Emmetsburg to perform competitively. Their experience and thoughts were captured through various students about this year’s group. Caitlin Thilges, a senior at Bishop Garrigan, was asked what it was like to perform competitively. She said “We have never done show choir competitively so to do it at this level was a lot more intense than previous years”. Show Choir started practicing in the middle of November. Director Dave Fog said “The students…

Without dramatic action a play cannot exist. Action brings about change, and change is what gives a play meaning. In The Lake, the transferring of the ring that occurs in each scene brings about change in the story by sending a seemingly impossible couple on a lifelong journey. There are other conceivable options that could be the action of The Lake. Buddy asking Maggie to the prom almost brings about change, but it isn’t Buddy’s question that makes her say yes. She is convinced to say “yes”…

would be very hard. Annie i believe was one of the most convicing characters in this production i believe, the role is also very demanding due to her being the main character and it really made the audience engage in what was going on, the vocal performance at the Riverside Theatre was also really good, basically everything was…

On Friday, November 17, 2017, I had the pleasure to watch Hansel and Gretel opera. I really like Hansel and Gretel opera because I never see a Hansel and Gretel movie or any opera show like this before. Hansel and Gretel's opera was my first opera show I saw and I really like it. First, I thought I going to hate this show, but I end up really love the story. If I have to choose my least favorite act of the night it has to be Act 1 because I only saw Hansel and Gretel singing just opera. But…

Having read the script for Back of the Throat prior to seeing the performance, I had a few expectations regarding the performance. First, found myself siding with Khaled more due to the fact that seeing him in person helped me relate to him better in the sense that he seemed like a normal twenty-something living in the city. It also made me more suspicious at times seeing his reactions to the agents. Additionally, I didn’t expect the set to be so dynamic. It was interesting seeing how as the…

America’s First Singing Competition Over the many centuries past, our ancestors have taken experiences and occurrences from long ago and transformed them into ongoing customs that have helped form the culture of our country. One of the most popular, widespread events in our current generation was inspired by a battle of two opposing choir groups in early New England. Due to our ever growing competitive spirits, Americans have maintained the tradition of singing contests and expanded its…

Prospero is a man with many faces, many of which clearly reflects on how successful he is at character he portrays.
