The set is something you had to see for yourself. The lighting I did not pay much to. Just because I was more focused on the story itself and getting lost in the story. The costumes were very great. Every costumes added to the story itself.
I love theater so much, and I want to share it with the world show them how amazing and life changing it can be. teacher are not people who have failed at doing what they love, but people who know that when you love something the best thing to do with that love is share it. the main reason I would like to be a theater educator is because of my theater teachers. since I got into high school I've looked up to them they made such a difference in my life, they made me feel like I was worth something, without them I don't know where I would be today and for them I'm forever grateful. I wont to do for other kids what they did for me.
Artistic Review: Vagina Monologues Through out this very clever and capturing play, the “Vagina Monologues” was beautifully developed to initiate a general message towards the audience of today’s society. The play was astonishing as it went further and further till the last second of the play. At first I was quite reluctant in actually viewing the play. But, after noticing the collaboration of humor and logic it made enough sense why this play has been repeated several times years after year. Through a very oblique and a humorous tone, the actors on the stage help entangle the audience in creating a very sharing atmosphere.
Failure: A Love Story Critique On October 12, I watched Failure: A love Story, a play written by Phillip Dawkins. It was presented by Keenan Theatre Company at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Failure: A Love Story was a story about a man named Mortimer Mortimer who was in love with all three of the Fails sisters but was never able to marry any of them. The story follows this actors until their deaths. The director and the designers were able to collaborate well and produce a play that was very intriguing and fun to watch.
Carolyn Downing, the sound director, was extremely successful in conveying the play’s central theme and message, as the director intended to draw out. In particular she was able to draw out the theme of hypocrisy- conveying the message that most people have a public and private face, one which they show and one that contains their inner desires and feelings. One particular moment where sound was used to create tension was when people entered on to the stage near the end of the play where Harry Horner was about to be revealed for what he really was by Lucy the maid. Every time someone entered on to stage to gather together there was a loud drum roll on a snare drum. This created tension because the actors were entering one after the other so there were constant playing of drums and they were getting gradually louder as more characters came on to the stage.
This affected the audience because not very many people were prepared to be actively involved and were surprised at first, but as the show progressed many relaxed considerably and had a great time. One of the choices which were made that worked really well was the way they decided to show the set, to make the background pieces, and the detail that went into each piece. The main part of the set was on a projector high above everyone that showed on a screen at the back of the stage. In doing this the crew was able to put any picture on it to give the audience the feel that they were supposed to be in a certain place and it worked. If you were supposed to be in the dark forest it really felt as if you were with the characters lost in the forest.
It is flamboyant in style with over-the-top musical numbers and elaborate sets and costumes. The supporting cast includes a narcoleptic Argentinean, a dwarf actor, and other colorful characters. The story is exciting, entertaining, and at times moving. Although it is just a creative portrayal of the usual love story, it is still a classic plot which will never fail to entertain and reach the emotions of romantics like me. It is crafted artistically and therefore does not insult the intelligence of those who are looking for more than just the normal plot.
These advertisements encouraged that drinking alcohol relieves all the pain and many people do it so we should do it too. However not all the advertisement encourages conformity to social norms. Some of them have no effect on the American people and regardless of what the advertisement is mentioning. They choose not to follow the advertisement or decide to ignore it thinking everyone is ignoring it. For example, there are advertisements which mention “stop smoking or else it will kill you.” The advertisement shows how the person looks like before smoking and after he smokes many cigarettes.
My favorite line that Jack uses is ‘Ever since I met you, I have admired you more than any girl I have met since… I met you’. This was used to great effect in the play, with the pause between ‘since’ and ‘met you’ emphasizing how head-over-heels in love with Gwendolen Jack is. Kirsty Besterman played an aloof, city-wise Gwendolen with strong ideas about pretty much everything! She is dressed in very fashional, over the top clothes, which reflects her haughty personality. Jenny Rainsford’s Cecily is a dreamy, girlish character with a penchant
Death of a Salesman Death of a Salesman is a great play, it draws strong attention of who sees or reads the play. This play is so great that, according with Jason Milligan, “[it] continue[s] to remain so timely…because [it] serve[s] a primal function of the theater: to hold a mirror up to our souls, to be the moral conscience of our times”. Death of a Salesman truly impacts people making them think and compare themselves or people they know with characters of the play, especially Willy Loman. The personalities that Miller portraits on his characters are as same of people that readers and viewers know on a day to day basis, which makes them open their eyes with a different image. Willy was a traveling salesman in his sixties that experiences an emotional crisis, Willy’s past repeats to him in vivid scenes and interferes with the present.
