Dinner Theatre In High School
Throughout my high school career, I have had the opportunity to participate in several dramatic plays, musicals and dinner theater. With all of these choices my favorite being musicals, but of course you have to sing. Having parts in three dramatic plays; Up the Down Staircase, Titanic-Trail and Tragedy, and To Kill a Mockingbird where I scored a lead position as the judge. Musicals being more my passion, I have been in Hello Dolly, Seussical, and Beauty and the Beast. Since our school has such a small population, it is not uncommon to have a number of character parts in the same production. As part of the crew, we are responsible for set building, costume fittings and parts memorization. I did not much care for the dinner theater style but

    A lot of fun. It's good to keep working out on the stage. It keeps that mind working. It's good physicality. I just love being in musicals, too. I've always loved being in musicals. There's something about hearing the songs and having it strike such a chord. The Wizard of Oz is such a personal kind of thing for everybody. Just love the grandmums and grandpops coming with their nieces and nephews, and sometimes they would be there in tears. These little girls would be dressed up as Dorothy and they'd come. And I'd meet a few of them. In fact, I happened to run through the lobby, and one little girl was sitting there--she was so great--she said, "Hi, Mr. Wizard. I'm just going to sit here a minute, and I'll go back in a second." (laughs) I was always afraid of the flying…

    I am inspired by those that act because the actors are challenging themselves and playing a role that they had most likely never played before. As the audience, I am absorbed into the characters’ world and how the little mannerisms of each character complete the play as a whole. I am an absolute fanatic for theatrical performances, whether it be a play, musical, or dance. I think that performers have to express themselves effortlessly, unbeknownst to the audience. By experiencing it firsthand through pit orchestra, I was fully able to appreciate how much time was put into the preparation of of a performance. As a student at Wellesley, I will be frequenting the musicals and plays performed by the theater because the fine arts is what fuels my imagination. Also through participating in pit, I learned that many, many hours are put into creating a fantastic, emotion-wrought performance. It is not just the actors that create the atmosphere, it is also the musicians. Along with the actors and possibly the music, there are more people that put the time into making the play “perfect”, something that the audience usually does not know or does not see. For this reason, I am very excited to learn that there is a theater (aka a place to watch plays/musicals/perform as a pit member) because whether I…

    The play that my group and I read and presented was Behind Closed Doors, a play with the concept of, Tragedy in your past can affect your present if you do not let go and move on. The role I played was the director, which is a role in the theater, that’s very much so unappreciated. The purpose of the presentation project was to actually understand, hands on, what it takes to produce a Theatre play, and what the jobs and elements are to do so. In theatre, communication is key. Every job works in harmony with one another, and they all need each other to put on an incredible show.…

    Theatre was not something that came naturally to me. When I came to Gautier High School, I was a quiet, reserved middle schooler just as ready to piss his pants as any other in his grade with the exception that I had the knowledge to not show it. I had yet to speak above a whisper and my yell was akin to a mouse’s yawn. In the words of a few teachers, I was “the most socially maladjusted child they had ever seen.” I was not a hot-shot and I most certainly didn’t crave to be the center of attention. So, in the moment of insanity that was my ninth grade year, I decided to audition for a school play. In the process of destroying preconceived notions, I met the singular most influential person, the director and theatre teacher, Amanda Brown.…

    My schoolmates may not know me by name, but they can tell something about the guy who is damn good at singing musicals. After he finished singing on the stage, the principal jumped to his feet clapping hands. Parents watching online hurriedly posted messages of praise, eager to find out whose kid the singer was. I, proud but not vain, had been accustomed to such reactions. For me, loving and practicing musicals has been a long, inspiring journey; it means much: a talent, a hobby, a way to relax, and even a label!…

    A local high school theater sends out a plea for volunteers of all ages. In the planning for their yearly musical, the high schoolers realized that they not only don't have enough members to pull off such a performance, they also need donations to help pay for props and costumes and volunteers to help put sets together. This particular school has hit a rough patch this last year. During Christmas break, they suffered the loss of their drama teacher and biggest supporter to a long, heartbreaking battle against cancer. And if that wastn't enough, the participants in this club, now a student run affair, have lessened due to an extreme outbreak of mono throughout the school.…

    I had to decide what high school I want to go to. I could either, apply for Howell High School’s theatrical program, or go to my home school and do theater as a extracurricular activity, kind of like I do now. The reasoning behind this decision was, the theatre business is hard! There are so many people involved, and SO much competition,…
