Personal Narrative-It's Time To Fall Play

661 Words3 Pages

As a star in my drama club in China, I intuitively signed up for the fall play when I became an exchange student at Seymour High School. Besides my accent, everything went smoothly and the students and parents all had a great amount of fun. After the performance, our instructor Mrs. Carter hugged me and said that I had done a good job. Someone even took special care to post my photo on the Facebook page of the school.

Imagining it would be another cakewalk, I did not hesitate to apply for the one act play, The Insanity of Mary Girard; as soon as I heard the news. However, this time Mrs. Carter hesitated for quite a while before she agreed to allow me to join. Indeed, things were different this time. We practiced at least two times per week instead of one, as we did for the fall play. The audition was harsh, and experienced seniors who were not interested in the fall play showed up to compete for roles in one act play. If fall play were a snickers bar to stave off hunger, one act play would be the annual lobster dinner that everybody had been waiting for. …show more content…

If one of the actors got stuck at a particular line, there were always four others who would love to give it a go. As I said the lines and tried to blend some emotions in, I always felt something was not right; but I could not figure it out. Apparently, Mrs. Carter felt the same way. She asked others to try long and interesting lines first, and I ended up getting the leftovers. My pride would not let me accept the result. “I have led my old club to shine, surely I can do better than this,” I told myself. Luckily, I still had the chance to prove my untapped

It was the last inning in our all-star game, and we were losing 10 to 8. Our team had 2 outs and we couldn’t get the third. Our pitcher was doing bad, throwing all balls, while all of us in the field were tired, ready to fall asleep at any moment. There goes another walk. They score again.

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. The set design for the play staging aims for the sweet spot between feeding adult nostalgia and satisfying a new generation of children.

One of the most important in this particular play is the acting. The actors are good at adapting from one role to the next and switching accessories quickly. The different use of British and other accents in a stereotypical but serious way. The director attempts to make the play successful by bringing everything to life and using the actors to do everything in a smooth and funny matter.

The Knox center theatre presented their adaptation of “Almost Maine” by John Carlani. Sadly, the presentation of the play has left me with utter confusion with it’s awkward moments and misinterpreted conversations between the multiple characters. Within this review, we shall dissect the hastily created adaptation of “Almost Maine” through it’s actors, props, and and many other multiple factors that sadly brought this play to it’s downfall. “Almost Maine” is about your generic romances and heartbreaks all in one town in one single snowy night. Sadly the play tries to be almost “Almost Maine” due to the fact that the adaptation is initially cut in half.

It was a normal Saturday for my team, the Montgomery Rebels, at Lagoon Park, and there was not a cloud in the sky. My team and I were about to play a team called Triple Play (despite the name they could barely get a double play.) My coach, also known as my dad, came up to me and said, “Does your arm feel good?” Of course I responded, “Yes! “Well good, you are pitching this game.”

On March 28th, I had the pleasure of attending the Broadway show called “The Play That Goes Wrong,” located at the Lycuem Theatre on 149 West 45th Street. On this particular Tuesday evening, I just had a vibe that something wrong was going to happen in this play – shockingly. I did believe this play will truly be memorable judging by the fun quirk of the show’s name. After watching the performance for about two hours, I can conclude that this play went beyond my expectation as its set disasters and characters amusingly caught the attention of me and the rest of the audience.

Arguably one of, if not the, greatest American plays in history is Our Town by Thornton Wilder. Our Town is representative of small town living and the everyday goings on in the town of Grover’s Corners, which its citizens often overlook. Wilder’s play can be analyzed as a tragedy through the use of Greek philosopher Aristotle’s Poetics. Aristotle’s Poetics largely focus on tragic drama and the components that create a tragedy. One can use these components: mythos, character, thought, diction, melody, and spectacle (Aristotle, trans.

The date of the show was October 17, 2015. In the theatre, I was seated in the row closest to the stage in the right corner. I figured the best way to observe the play was to be as close as possible to the actors. The play was basically split into two parts with an intermission in the middle. An advantage of this theatre was that it was fairly close to my house.

Erasmus was the most influential European humanist of his generation and inadvertently his program of religious reform helped ignite Luther’s religious message. Christian humanism was deliberately created by a variety of humanists, and Erasmus’s writings also contributed to the creation of Christian humanism. Erasmus promoted applying the same critical approaches to Scripture that humanists had applied to ancient literature in order to correct textual errors and have a better understanding of the message of biblical authors. Erasmus represented the branch of humanism that wanted reform and this group challenged the academic, intellectual, and religious traditions of the Middle Ages. Erasmian humanism did not survive the struggles of the Reformation; however, humanism was not destroyed, but transformed.
