REACTION PAPER
Title: Joe

I really enjoyed the play that I saw last sunday because of three reasons. Because it was historical, modern classic and musical

CONTEMPORARY AND CLASSICAL PLAY
The play was a combination of contemporary and classical styles. I think the director intended to do that in order to make the play more interesting, since the majority of the audience was young. The play was quite interesting for the youth because there were rock songs as well as classical songs, these were appropriate to those people who prefered both modern and classical music. It made the audience appreciate more what they have seen. I think the play would be boring for the young audience if it were all classical songs.

HISTORICAL
The play was historical and it is one of the ulitamate reasons why I enjoyed and appreciated the play. I am one of the good students in our history class and I almost memorized the facts that happened in the past. We all know that Jose Rizal was a defender of the oppressed people. Rizal did not want to attack the catholic church that was ran by the abusive and ruthless dominican friars. Like waht some characters in the play portrayed and they also portrayed that Josephine was raped by her stepfather; but it was just a rumor that was never proven. Inspite of that, we unbelievable scene, I still liked it because at last they showed they actual facts that happened in the past.

MUSICAL
Music is one of the fascinating aspects of the play. Those professional singers who performed various music impressed me. There were many in audience who liked the music but I don't know if the music is appropriate to their abilities. The singers sang classical songs as well as contemporary ones that made the old and young people appreciate the

    My overall reaction and view of the play is that I was very impressed. I have not seen a play with more action and liveliness with such a small group of roles in a rather long time. The connection between royalty, and a con man, as he slips into the cracks and seems of reality and an overall search of competence in a family setting is very intense in accordance to the time line set in the play. I felt like I was with the actors, on their spiritual journey, as they portray their roles so finely. I felt an extreme presence of finite maturity in the actors, and I feel as if that has a lasting impact, compared to mediocre actors, in which I’ve seen in this theatre before. The all black cast was so…

    Of the many live performances I have been able to see, by far my favorite is Wicked. I have always been drawn to plays that are fantasy-based versus those that focus on realism. Wicked is a complete fun-ride of fantasy from beginning to end. From it's variety of outrageous characters to it's musical score, each aspect of drama is clear and defined in this play. Theme, music, and spectacle will be the focus in this essay, but that is not to say each aspect does not have a role in the show. Wicked presents the aspects of drama in a way that an audience remembers.…

    Middletown: Play Review

    • 905 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The play was very unique and different from any other play I have ever seen. It was very melodramatic and the characters discussed issues most characters in other plays would never touch. They spoke very truthfully to each other about issues such as anxiety, loneliness and other things that most people keep to themselves. They often mentioned all the mundane tasks they would do throughout the years to keep themselves occupied. They explained the daily miracles that everyone in the world takes for granted. At one point in the storyline, an astronaut who lived in Middletown, told a story about the town drunk and how he found what he thought was a meteor but, it was just a common sedimentary rock. He then explained how the man was very disappointed that it was not a meteor, yet that he should have been grateful for the wonders of such a perfect world able to create something. Not only was the plot of the play very unique and creative, the way the play was set up was interesting and new to me. Every play or musical I have ever been to, you sit in an auditorium and just watch the events unfold. This play had you apart of the plot and stage, the actors would interact with the audience and and speak directly to us. They kept the actors in the set very close to the audience, almost as if they were trying to make us even more uncomfortable with the closeness of the actors in the story. The…

    All together though this play was a very powerful play with a lot of deeper intentions that were able to be explored because of the breathing power and use of body postures that showed of way more than what the script had on it. In other word it truly showed the way that the actor amazingly displayed all of the methods that we were taught in class. And it was truly a great learning experience watching how they portrayed the play as a…

    Awesome, full of joy, and unforgettable are words to describe on that field trip last Saturday, August 18, 2012 at Naga City, Camarines Sur. It was not my first time to go there, besides I’m from Camarines Sur. I’ve been there since I was a child. During my elementary and secondary years, we also had educational tour or field trip there and visited those places exactly where we had our stops. It’s just, it made different because I went there with my new friends and classmates and besides, it was not beautiful as now. Aside from what we had learned about historical events, we developed camaraderie between us – students. We also developed good rapport and relationship among us.…
