The productions of this play were successful through stage design, lighting crewing, and acting. Those three aspects made the quality of the play stand out to me, as an audience member. The production of the set design of the play was a good effort.

Although Signature Theatre has not yet produced a production of Guys and Dolls it’s one that their company could undoubtedly do so in the future. The theatre certainly has the capabilities and facilities necessary to produce a high quality version of this musical. However, this fact, although relevant is not the most important factor in deciding whether or not they would choose to produce the show. The theatre must also have a desire to chose this specific musical among the hundreds of other choices that exist. An examination of Signature Theatre’s history and currents goals helps one to see if this desire exists.
The federal theatre project started in 1935 after beginning of World War 1. This period experienced economic problems, which led to The Great Depression. This period is also known as the time in which media brought the world together. The Federal theatre was a branch of the “noncommercial America theater’’ led by Hallie Flanagan Davis.

Upstage is back, downstage is front, right is left, left is right, out is up, break a leg but don't really, wings have nothing to do with birds, the catwalk doesn’t involve cats, and when the stage manager says move it means move. The theatre vocabulary is very confusing for the outside world, but for me it is my second language. More specifically, I have developed a passion for the technical elements of theatre over the years. The joy of being the “people in black” that can make amazing sets and produce incredible plays which goes unnoticed.. Although this discourse is much small yet complex it has helped me find out who I am but also in my academic skills through learning how to work in teams, solve problems independently but also how to be
Because of the diligence of fellow blogger and interviewer Francesca, I was made aware of another budding actor who joined the When Calls the Heart cast this season--Camden Filtness. She interviewed and featured him first, and then I decided to jump in and ask for an interview as well. Thankfully, Camden made some time, and he was quite forthcoming about his origins within the business, his early works, his Hallmark work, and even a look at what may be down the road for him. RH: Why did you decide to become an actor? What kind of training have you had?.
Intelligence: The Zodiac killer is one of the most famous serial killers the world has ever seen. During the late 60s to early 70s, he gruesomely killed countless people, with no trace left behind. It is said that he is linked to about seven murders, but through his coded messages he claimed to have killed over thirty-seven. He gained notoriety for sending cryptic letters to the press, all of which taunting the authorities and claiming responsibility for his crimes.

Standing on the dark stage, I took deep, slow breaths to calm my nerves. My stomach did somersaults and my hands shook. Fidgeting with my pink peasant top and ankle length yellow floral skirt, I made eye contact with my fellow actors. The closed curtain was the only thing separating us from an audience of five hundred people. One would think that after three months of rehearsals I would feel prepared for this, but I didn’t.
I performed in every show I could, painted, did run-crew, made props, helped with costumes, ushered, watched as many shows as possible, and became intensely involved in my school’s Thespian Society, ultimately serving as Thespian Co-President. I took advantage of every opportunity, involving myself in around twenty-five shows between my freshman and senior years. I relished every minute of it.

The deafening roar from the crowd filled my ears, as it had done so many times before. I reached down, picked up my ear pieces lying across my shoulders, and placed one in each ear. As the stagehand passed me the mic, my pulse quickened. Standing on the platform beneath the stage, waiting for it to rise, my shoulders tightened. Fourteen years, performing on stages around the world hadn't banished my pre-show jitters.

For many individuals who are, or have been involved in theatre, it has nourished them with meaningful messages and morals.
