Theatre

Choosing a theater productions could be difficult, or even writing a paper could be hard for someone, but for my theatre production that I chose to write about was really easy for me. Maybe because I love the production and the production that I have seen was a great show, and I'm really excited to tell you about my Theatre Analysis! The show that I chose to see was "Little Shops of Horror" at The PlayHouse in the Park. I have seen a lot of musicals over time, and I love seeing them, but when I saw this production I was wowed! Lets first talk about the area that the production took place. Playhouse in the Park is a small but homey theatre. Everywhere you look in the theatre is very close, and there is no bad seat at all. Even on top very top of the theatre you can still see everything almost as if you were in the front row! The seats were comfortable,…

As a musical theatre major going into my second year of college. I have only really ever been the performer in productions. I’ve never been to knowledgeable about the aspects of theatre behind the spotlight. But since pursuing theatre in higher education, I am aware of how limited I made myself in my lack of interest of anything not involving performance. Since being at Ouachita, I can say my eagerness to understand every position in theatre is constantly increasing. And not to just be apart of…

Many people consider participating in theatre as a worthless activity and a waste of time. In fact, my Cinema professor just had a conversation with another student about how live theatre is a dead form of art and has no value to anyone anymore. However, the performing arts actually have many benefits for the performer and the community. For example, from my own experience and observations, I know that performing increases one’s confidence, self discipline, and ability to converse with adults.…

Through non-conventional theatre, in the form of immersive theatre, the performative characteristics of scenic design are scrutinized. By transcending traditional dramatic performances, yet still incorporating similar characteristics taken from conventional theatre, immersive theatre stimulates the spectator’s theatrical experience while still making it new yet familiar. It is crucial to present or evoke an action through the depiction of fictional events, or at least, through the embodiment of…

Theatre has been an art form for over 2,000 years and is not going anywhere anytime soon. Theatre is an art form that analyzing the human condition and is also utilized as a way of entertainment and escape from the harsh realities of the world. This art form creates a safe place within the theater venue and the world of the play for humans to experience human actions and emotions in a safe way; someone can experience the emotion of the death of a loved one without actually having a loved one…

For my first performance response, I saw Anything Goes at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre in Fort Myers, FL on February 17th, 2017. At this dinner theatre, Will Prapher produces and owns the theatre. With his compony titled Prapher Entertainment, Prapher produces such productions in Florida as well as Pennsylvania. This production was a comedy and a love story all in one. Billy, the protagonist, loved Hope, who was engaged to Evelyn. All the characters interact on a cruise ship that was going…

When I first began participating in community theatre, I almost immediately noticed a change in myself. The first time I attended an audition, the friendly and accepting atmosphere shocked me. The openness of the theatre community was infectious. After being introverted and shy for my entire life, I suddenly found myself at ease around near strangers. Since entering the world of theatre, I have become exceedingly more confident and outspoken. This has enabled me to assume positions of leadership…

thrust type stage. I like this kind of state, because it is interesting and not a boring normal stage where the audience just site right in front of the stage. There will be a curtain in between each act/scene, to allow out backstage members to change the background of the scene. I think that this stage type will be perfect audience. Out backstage crew will have 60 seconds to change the background in between scenes. That should be long enough to get the job done, and not bore the…
