Nerve Wracking Experience A Theatre Kid
Audition week. The second most nerve wracking experience a theatre kid has to go through. You’re all alone on a blank stage staring at a panel of directors making a choice about the next three months of your high school experience. Although it may be scary, the directors are just your biggest fans. They want to see you succeed, and that is what everyone who walked in and faced the directors did! They are all incredibly proud of everybody who auditioned, but sadly they could not take all 70 people into the next step, callbacks. 40 people all fighting for about 7 leads is the most stressful event I can imagine.

    Lakeland College's Musical, Hairspray !

    On April 7th, 2016, I attended Lakeland College's musical, "Hairspray!” Overall I thought it was a great performance. It was my first time seeing this musical in particular. There were many things that made the performance spectacular including: the outfits, the setting, and the actors singing voices. There were also a few things that made the play worse than it could have been and it was mostly the technical difficulties.…

    Hell Week Research Paper

    The last week before a theatrical production is colloquially referred to as “hell week.” Every aspect of the show—lights, orchestra, costumes—hurriedly comes together during this week, and mishaps are predestined to occur: a costume might tear open during dancing, or a massive wooden set piece might fall on top of someone’s head. Nevertheless, on opening night, the show miraculously comes together without a hitch.…

    Boys Will Be Boys Play Analysis

    On March 3rd, I went to a play called Boys Will Be Boys in UNI’s Interpreters Theatre. I initially went because a friend of mine was in it and they asked me to attend. I was excited because i’ve only seen plays done by Theatre UNI, so it would be a nice change to see a smaller scale production. The theatre is located in Lang Hall. It was a very intimate theatre with little to no staging. The actors had to rely solely on a few props and their ability to act.…

    Self Evaluation Narrative Booktalk

    On July 11, 2016, I presented a booktalk to a group of ten female teens that are a part of the teen theatre group, the Saax Bradbury Players. The booktalk was hosted by an employee of the theatre, Jen Blalock. Because of rehearsals taking place in the theatre, the booktalk was given in the host’s home. The grades of the students range from rising sophomores to 2016 graduates. The ethnicity of the student group is ninety percent White and ten percent African American. The main interest of this student group is drama. Most of their time is spent in rehearsing and performing in children’s, young adult, and adult theatrical productions. These teens are truly diverse in the groups in which they relate. Their ages…

    Theater Final

    When you go to a movie theater you see all kinds of different people. Whether or not it females or males, young or old, American or non-American. There are different perspectives in which the movie will be seen. I think a good example would be the movie 2012. It is a science fiction disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich and distributed by Columbia Pictures. 2012 was a global film that all people were interested to see. This movie came out in 2009 and when it was in the making in 2008, all of my friends were already talking about the movie but what really surprised me were the reasons that they were going to see the movie for. Benjamin Trujillo’s, a family friend, reason to go see the movie was so that his wife and kids can see the way the world is going to end if they don’t behave according to the bible. Benjamin grew up as a very potent Christian and his wife was not that very religious so therefore he…

    High School Theatre Observation

    I started theatre in sixth grade, when I was in the ensemble of the Music Man at CAST Summer. From there, I gradually became more interested and I started auditioning for every play season. When I got to OPRF, the stakes exponentially grew. We had kids coming in from BRAVO, Ovation academy, all highly prestigious youth theaters in Oak Park. Acting became less of a pastime for me and more a defining way of life at OPRF. This year, I was lucky enough to get cast in a play, a feat I told myself I could never accomplish.…

    Our Town God

    It was my sophomore year, and I auditioned for the play Our Town. Our Town is a play I will never forget. I do not know how, and I do not know why, but somehow God used this play to reveal Himself once more to me. He gave to me a cast that treated me as family and a plot that told of greater moments than this life. Our Town depicted what most consider to be unimportant, everyday activities and revealed their intrinsic value with each line and stage direction. In rehearsal we discussed multiple times the significance of this play and how it applies to our lives. By the time performances rounded the corner, my heart was near to bursting. A feeling of belonging and the need to appreciate every moment overwhelmed me. Most importantly, I felt a tug at the back of my mind, a quote from the Stage Manager, “We all know something is…

    Personal Narrative: My Pursuit Of Musical Theatre

    Anyone who knows me knows that I cannot dance. In fact, I can barely touch my toes, let alone do a split. My lack of ability has often been a hindrance in my pursuit of musical theater. My freshman year of high school I decided to try out for the spring musical, the ever-popular production of Bye Bye Birdie. I would say that approximately 90 people auditioned that year, a majority of who were in my same grade. I had prepared for weeks, rehearsing the song “Put on a Happy Face” with my voice coach, practicing the confidence I would need to earn a role as coveted ‘chorus member’ (freshman are rarely awarded main roles). As I entered the black box, I learned, to my dismay, that we would be preforming a dance routine as part of the audition. I, of course, botched the dancing portion and when the cast list came out, my name was notably absent. At first, I was baffled. Then I was devastated. Musical theater was my ‘thing’ and I didn’t necessarily know where I belonged if I didn’t fit into it.…

    Theatre and Gender

    Take a painting for instance, you and another individual may be looking at the same painting, but you will both have different interpretations of the painting based on what you know or understand about your life. This is exactly how it may be when looking at a play. In this case, by means of ethnicity and gender. Our perceptions of ethnicity or gender may vary based on where we live, or our cultural backgrounds. For this reason, our different perceptions of ethnicity and gender may affect our understanding of a play. In plays such as M. Butterfly, Thead Hell, and Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven, ethnicity and gender relates to our understanding of the play as in order to understand the play and plot we must understand the societal and gender rules of each culture.…
