Into The Woods Play Analysis
I think that the Decatur High School production of the play “Into the Woods” by James LaPine and Stephen Sondheim, was really good. We went to see it on September 28th. It was a fast moving play, and the actors’ energy helped make it feel real. I thought it had good change of scenery. I also liked how it was based off the stories that we had grown up with. Finally, I thought that they interacted with the audience well.

My first reason why I liked it was because of the change moments. I liked their change of scenery and how the actors jumped right into the scene once it changed. For example, It went from a scene with Rapunzel in the tower to Little Red Riding Hood, and so on. They also used Another change was that some actors played both parts.

    First, the 1999 adaptation has the best sets, costumes, and special effects, mostly because of it being newer than its movie counterparts. For example, when the fairy world is first introduced, there seems to be a party. With careful observation, all the background fairies, even the unimportant ones, are still costumed well, and fit in excellently. In contrast, the 1935 and 1968 adaptations have the main characters dressed appropriately, but the extras have costumes that are slightly inadequate. Also, the 1999 version has many different sets shown in just a short clip, from the woodsy fairy land to the cave where the party is to the rocky hill where Oberon and Titania meet. The changes between the different sets and scenes are smooth and logical, allowing the viewer to follow the storyline with…

    The piece was extremely clever how they only used four actors during the entire show. This brings me onto costumes. The costumes in this production were very bare and essential for quick changes while on stage, and this gave the play a comic feel because they changed on the stage in front of the audience. Many times the costume was a plain suit and the actors played different characters by simplistically putting so a hat, coat or a prop. I enjoyed this because it helped me associate different characters with the little bit of costume they had.…

    I attended the play on March 22nd. I have attended most of the plays here, at Waynesburg. Leading up to Professor Powers introducing the play and thanking the audience for their attendance, the audience seemed to be excited and engaged; talking about the various ways that the Addams family had enriched their lives. My friend and I had a seat in the middle in the center row, with an optimal viewing experience. The plays overall production concept such as the costumes, lighting and set added to the overall audience interaction, entertainment and understanding. The actors and the director did a good job of portraying the plays story, even to viewers who had no prior knowledge of the Addams family.…

    There were some things that I didn’t like about the play. One of the characters portrayed a rebellious girl who wore dark clothes and heavy makeup. She was the one who was hooking up with the professor and her friend. She kept blinking her eyes too much and moving her head to try to look as if she was being seductive. I understand that in order to portray a seductive character some of those gestures would work well. I think the actor over did it, and I found it distracting to watch her keep doing the robotic gestures even when…

    Richard Louv composes the Last Child in the Woods in which he makes a contention about nature and individuals. Louv's contention is extremely mind boggling; he contends that genuine nature and individuals are being isolated through the method for corporate greed and innovation. In doing as such he utilizes a speak to his group of onlookers with a correlation with the past and rhetorical addressing. With this he makes his contention recall capable and pleasing. Richard Louv utilizes gadgets, for example, symbolism, truths, and rhetorical inquiries to pass on his basic tone, which swings to sentimentality, towards the association of individuals to nature around them. Louv watches that the association amongst individuals and nature is reducing…

    In February 1938, during the Great Depression, Our Town opened on Broadway, Tappen Wilder in the afterword states, “in spite of mixed reviews when the box-office opened Saturday morning there were 26 people in line; the line continued all day, the police had to close it for ten minutes so the audience could get into the matinee” (Wilder, 114).

    The characters were satisfactory. Although they were loud and energetic, they did not articulate their words. I could not understand anything that they were saying. I left out of the theatre knowing sixteen words: Rudolph, the, red, nose, reindeer, snow, pay, rent, moon, fuck, you, light, my, candle, Roger, and please! In fact, every line was sung. I felt like the characters were singing at me not to me. In addition, they were all over the place; the characters did not do a good job at conveying the story of Jonathon Larson, throughout the musical they kept running around, jumping, and screaming. By them doing that, it did not…

    I found the timing of this production was just right; however I thought the end of the play was somewhat dragged on, and could have ended earlier than it did. Although the homosexual scenes were rather disturbing, I would have to say they were my favourite scenes, because it was humorous, and extremely clever. The use of shadow puppets was extraordinary, and…
