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.…
The Greatest Show on Earth, directed by Cecil B. DeMille was nominated for Best Picture by the Academy Awards in 1952. It is about a circus team that tours the world by train with performances all over the country. Brad is the manager of the Circus and is dating Holly, one of the trapeze girls. The conflict in this story comes about when Brad chooses Sebastian, an arrogant trapeze artist, over Holly for the center act I have rated this film through the following criteria. It had to have interesting scenes that evoked emotion in me while watching, I wanted to be able to connect with what the protagonist was feeling, and I wanted it to have a lasting impact on myself.…
These acts would range from people performing stunts to playing the piano, to dancers and tumblers, actors would put on shows, and magicians displayed great feats. The shows could go on for hours at a time. Often there would be a dozen or more acts in a single showing (“About Vaudeville”). However, as many act different acts as there were, comedy often brought in the biggest crowds. Comedy acts such as Witt and Berg were the most popular. Vaudeville appeared to be nothing more than different acts of entertainment, this however was not the case. It was much more than entertainment, it was the changing of an era. These shows were the symbol of cultural diversity at the turn of 19th century America. It was the product of centuries old cultural traditions. These which included, the English music hall, minstrel shows of antebellum America, and the Yiddish theater (“About Vaudeville”). However not completely free from its times prejudice, it was the first form of entertainment to cross racial and class barriers. For many people, it was one of their first exposure to people of other cultures, many of which they may not have even known…
What we learn about their minds, personalities, and motivations come from what they say and do and from what others tell us about them. Thus we absorb a theatrical performance the way we do a scene from real life.”. In my experience with the audience, it made the opera more enjoyable knowing that the audience around me were all connecting in similar ways to the play and actors through the joyfulness, laughter, and temporary sadness. The more an audience enjoys the performance, the most likely it will be for anyone else around them to also enjoy it. Just as Tolstoy mentions in his writing of What is Art?, he says “it is this capacity of man to receive another man’s expression of feeling, and experience those feelings himself, that the activity of art is based.”. On the night which I attended, this was the case. Much of the audience simply responded to the humor and sadness the opera produced, and from that some people in the audience could not help but laugh or empathize when other members of the audience were doing…
I sit down in my comfy red seat at Academy of Theatre Arts in Williamsville, NY. I look around and see that the house is full. Not one seat was empty. In those seats I see people of all ages with happy, excited expressions on their faces. This got me very excited for the show that was about to be presented for me. I am very anxious for the show to start and suddenly the lights dim, the overture music begins and the curtain opens……
“Nobody seems to know how television is going to affect radio, movies, love, housekeeping, or the church, but it has definitely revived vaudeville” (thinkexist.com). Edgar Bergen’s statement concisely describes how vaudeville has returned in the modern era. It is ironic that television, which was partly responsible for the disappearance of vaudeville in its original form, has now played a role in the return of vaudeville. However, many television viewers do not realize this because vaudeville was popular nearly a century ago. Modern viewers may not even be aware that such a thing as vaudeville ever existed. Nevertheless, vaudeville was one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the United States after the Civil War and into the early twentieth century. Despite meeting its downfall as a result of the rise of cinema and radio, vaudeville has returned to modern viewers in the form of sketch-comedy television.…
