Riverton High Preformed Play Analysis

489 Words2 Pages

I went to go see Mary Poppins at the Riverton High School. It’s based off of the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney film. The play that Riverton High preformed was directed by Clin Eaton. I saw the play on November 21st 2015. The main characters were Michael and Jane who were looking for someone who would be a nanny for them. They had previously scared away all the nannies that had come. The father, George Banks, was a banker… I know, pretty ironic right? Mary Poppins decided to show up and take care of the kids, she trains them to be polite. The mother, Winifred Banks, was a very worried mother. The play has a lot of the same characters, except there’s a pretty different storyline. It’s set in london, England. This play is definitely a comedy. During the play, she …show more content…

The parent’s don’t understand why. The dad then decides to hire the nanny who trained him, Mrs. Andrews. (And made him a very boring person, but he forgot how much he hated her.) The lady that comes in, is extremely rude and puts everything, as she would say it, “in order”. Even the dad’s afraid of her. He soon realises that he can’t get rid of here because he’s too scared of her. The kids decide really quickly that they are willing to change. Mary Poppins comes back and, I know this will sound weird, puts Mrs. Andrews in a giant birdcage, because Mrs, Andrews kept this little canary in a cage, and never let it out. After putting her in the birdcage, they go offstage and then you don’t know what happens. The kids change and they live happily ever after. My favorite part of the play is where Mary Poppins flies away. They had a pulley system hooked to her, and she flew off the ground and flew away with her umbrella. The set really set the mood of the play. When we were with the lighting technician, he talked about how the lighting will set the mood. That was definitely true with this play. Same with the

The direction and acting of the play show that the success of any production relies heavily on the director and the actors. The director should work closely with the actors to create believable and nuanced performances and to ensure that the pacing and tone of the play are consistent. The actors should be able to convincingly portray teenage girls and bring their unique personalities and struggles to life on stage. For example, the actors should focus on creating naturalistic dialogue that overlaps and reflects the way that real people

Lisa Kron Well Play Analysis

The play Well was interesting, confusing, and comedic. Lisa Kron came out and at first I thought she was the narrator, but she was actually in the play. The play started off with Lisa Kron talking about illness and wellness. She wanted to know why some people would get over the sickness they had, but others stayed sick. Her mother was in the back sitting on a La-Z-Boy chair and was sick and the doctors did not know what she had.

I Never Saw Another Butterfly Monologue

I went home complaining and was given the advice, you can make the role of Child #2 just as significant as the lead in the play if you figure out how to make your character believable. As the weeks of rehearsals passed by I drew on my own childhood experiences and focused my efforts on creating a character. My unique portrayal of Child #2 was a young teen girl who loved ballet. Ironically, I had given up ballet after fourth grade and it was one of my greatest regrets. To use my own love for ballet gave me a closer connection to Child #2 and helped me fulfill a personal need.

However, some audience members find the play to be too long and drawn out. At 3 hours Mary Poppins is one of the longer musicals available to high school theater, which can stretch the patience of the audience. Yet, Act 2 rewards members who didn’t leave during intermission with the three most energetic scenes of the play: let 's go fly a kite, step in time, and anything can happen.

She's The Man Movie Vs Play Analysis

Lastly the movie in the play both reacted very weirdly to viola coming out they didn't freak out like was expected in both Twelfth night and She's the Man. The movie and the play are pretty much based off the same thing love, but the movie started off with soccer, where the play was just mainly about love and the shipwreck. Most parts in the movie and play have the same concept. There is a difference between the way they spoke back then versus how they speak right now. The play was written in more Shakespearean text like it was when the play was written and the movie has more modern language more like how people speak now.

In this short story and in the film Wendy and Peter do not trust their parents and wish to never grow up. Additionally, the kids' names can also be seen as foreshadowing for the ending of the story. Furthermore, it is obvious that the parents strive on giving their kids everything they could need or want, but the house has turned into the children's “mother and father, far more important in their lives than their real parents” (Bradbury 262). Calling the house the children's mother and father is personification as the house has turned into a human. Throughout the story, the house

The Long Christmas Ride Home Play Analysis

I liked that Paula Vogel did not hold back and let all of the emotions of the play loose. I am anticipating that I will enjoy the play. I personally think I would like it more if the characters were portrayed by only people rather that people holding puppets, but they have too much symbolic meaning to be left out. I think the puppets are meant to resemble the fact that we really have no control over our own lives as children. The release of the real people from the puppets into adults symbolizes the freedom from their

Angel Street Play Analysis

606 Words | 3 Pages

Angel Street (Gaslight) Review All throughout October and a week into November, the Loretto Hilton’s Repertory Theatre decided to perform Angel Street (Gaslight), a classic play set in the late 1800’s about a husband and a somewhat “delusional” wife who is paranoid about what goes on at night. The play first entered the stage in 1938, and the people I saw in the audience Sunday afternoon were probably just as old as the play itself. The play started off with a man named Jack Manningham (Clark Scott Carmichael) and his wife Bella Manningham (Janie Brookshire). Brookshire’s accent started off a little shaky, but it was overshadowed by the amazing performance she put on that reflected Belle’s increasing paranoia throughout the play.
