The Heiress Critique

April 16, 2006
Thar 101
A Critique on "The Heiress" On the evening of March 23, 2006 my boyfriend and I made a visit to Brenham, Texas to see a play entitled "The Heiress." Playing the role of an audience member for the night, we dressed nicely (even though we were traveling to one of the smallest towns in Texas), went to a nice dinner at On the Border, and went to the show. We participated as an audience member in that we had to travel to the performance and were able to take part in the play from a visually entertaining side versus an actual performing side. The production being performed on this particular evening was of no cost to anyone who viewed it. This particular evening, along with another a couple days later,

    Present Slaughter Play Summary

    I chose to attend the play called "Present Laughter" on Friday, March 2nd, at Fort Hays State University. It was a very well put on play and the actors did an phenomenal job. All the actors were very professional and seemed to be very well prepared. They also did a good job on the set by making the play seem very realistic to all the audience members that attended the play. I wasn't that excited at first to go to this play because I have never been to a play in person…

    Review of Little Shop of Horrors

    The homecoming musical performed this year, in the Shaw Center Auditorium, was Little Shop of Horrors. Being part of the crew, gave me the opportunity to see the play grow from rehearsing on an empty stage, to what was presented on opening night. However, I only had one opportunity to seat in the audience and see the entire play on Thursday, September 19th. Not knowing much about the play before that night, I was very surprised about everything that happened. Everyone I thought was important ended up dead, and I wasn’t expecting that. But I really liked it, because it had that surprise factor that made me jump off my seat a couple of times. Also, it was well structured, making it easy to understand what led to every situation and the characters gave live to every scene making the musical exciting and funny, which kept me interested until the end.…

    Behind Closed Door Play Analysis

    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.…

    My Last Duchess Annotated Bibliography

    Robert Browning’s “ My last Duchess,” is not a romantic love story about the sudden death of a Duke’s wife. Instead it’s about an insecure and psychotic Duke who feels entitled to everything including his wife and kills her. Browning explores the mind of a lunatic and presenting his audience how men with power can basically get away with almost anything. he analyses issues of feminism, domestic violence, and a disorderly structure of Victorian society through his work in “My Last Duchess.”…

    Personal Narrative: My Field Trip To Barter Theatre

    Once we were there we all sat down and waited for the show to begin. The show we had gone to see was “The Wizard of OZ”. The show was going great and we were all really enjoying it.Then we reached intermission, where some of us switched seats so that we could sit with different people for the second act. Once the show ended we were directed up to the balcony seating where we got to ask some of the actors questions about the show and about Barter. After this we split back up into our schools and then we were given tours of the Barter Theatre, we got to see their costume room, backstage, and many other neat…

    Personal Narrative: A Career In Theatre

    He loved his experience in the theater and begged me to come audition for the next one with him. This sounded like a great idea, but I had never been on stage before in front of an audience. I was determined to not let my nerves get to me, though. On August 22, 2010 I nervously stepped foot on the stage and as I was shaving, sang “Defying Gravity” from Wicked in hopes that I would be placed in the cast of The Wizard of Oz. I was excited yet terrified, but I had no idea, yet, what an impact this theater would have on my life.…

    I decided to attend a show at a local dinner theatre, called the Alhambra Dinner Theatre, in Jacksonville, FL. My decision to do this was based on the fact that I never really allow myself to look into my artistic side as I commonly turn down attending art festivals, theatre performances, or listening to classical music.…

    Understanding "While the Auto Waits"

    The unknown lady in this play is one of not only mystery, but she is not the only one that seems to be living a facade of a life, a life which is far more glamorous than their own. We start out in the park where the entire drama takes place. Now at first glance upon his lurking and pouncing upon the dropped book I am lead to believe that he may be simply a passerby in her neck of the woods or this public park. Then as I read on and ultimately reach the end of the story I am left to believe that this young man, Mr. Parkenstacker, has been coming to this very park for quite some time following this same maiden. The mystery woman goes into great detail about her life, her millions…as if she is so discontent and drawn overly bored with the statures and stipulations of the upper class. She almost makes it seem as if she is in a class above that of which is consider “upper”, as if almost a royal figure by the mentioning of “the Drake and the Prince”. She makes mention of this figures of royalty when the young man questions if she will truly be able to fall in love with just a common man. By never offering her name to Mr. Parkenstacker she has left so much to be desired for in this short play, so much more you want to initially know about her. I start imagining if she is the heir to a textile fortune, possibly from a wealthy family with a rich history in banking on the most supreme of levels. Early on you do not even realize that Parkenstacker is doing just the same as the young lady is. They are both putting on airs as they say, each wanting to unknowingly trade shoes for a day or for an eternity even. Mr. Parkenstacker is portraying to a commoner who has not true idea of having financial authority but claiming to consider he somewhat a connoisseur of the rich and well-to-do class. He begins by attempting to summarize up what her life is like which leads to her expounding more on her alleged lifestyle. The young lady almost seems as if she wants out of this dreaded long…

    One Acts Drama Festival: My First Acting Competition

    Every year during my high school there would always be auditions held to be in the One Acts Drama Festival. Each school in the area would make a play to be seen by judges where the festival was held and there would only one winner. I never tried out to be in the One Acts Drama Festival but my senior year I did. Everyone at my school who wanted to participate would have to act out a two minute monologue in front of our school's director, in this case my teacher Mrs. Machaiek, who teaches theatre.…
