When Diwata And Howie Play Analysis
This play has been one of the most entertaining shows I have seen in quite a while. The mixture of serious conversations with humor worked well for the play, even though something like that would not have been thought of in normal conversations. That is just more proof that theatre is able to take heavy issues that people experience and spin it into a tale that makes it seem less concerning, while also trying to get some kind of point across, this case being about boys who are gay and finding it difficult to express that side of themselves to friends and family. One of the best parts in the play as a whole, in my opinion, was when Diwata and Howie were talking in the diner. As the conversation grew more intense, Howie mentioned people staring, …show more content…
During his explanation, I missed much of the events that happened while he was at the camp as well as the reason why he was sent there due to him mumbling and talking fast. It took away from his character some, but could have also been to show how uneasy his character felt when talking about a topic like that. I did not detect any sort of dialect probably because there was no need for one. In terms of his physical work, there were good and bad spots. One of the good points was during the second scene of the play when he was talking to the teacher, played by Adiya, about the article he wanted to write. He was engaged with Adiya while reading his notes to her and whenever he wanted to record something she was saying, by holding his phone closer to her. A clear goal that he played towards the best was when he was on the phone with Howie, played by David, trying to get information about a teacher from him. His goal seemed to be for Howie to talk about the possibility of a teacher being involved in relationships with students, and then changed to be about a comic involving a time-traveling kid. It was clear he really wanted the story because he never relented in asking questions and kept putting

    They started fighting so badly Cate has to stop them. Another thing I disliked is Pete, Thia’s brother, Holly the reporter, Ace, and others who are against Thia. During one scene of the play, they trash Thia’s house and throws pebbles at her house, and her landlord sends a letter to kick them out of the house because many people keep breaking the property, and what I dislike was the actors did not project there voice loud enough and I was sitting on the third row, and still I was still having problem hearing the play. Some actors and actress was mumbling throughout the play. One Character I don’t like was Ace because of his superior and his self centered personality by that…

    It provides contrast to a meaningful play with random anecdotes, funny scenes, and a nonsensical storyline overall. The fact that this occurrence is nearly impossible added to the experience. The play was very well executed by the cast and staff of it at Northview High School. The characters were well chosen and knew what they were doing. Their facial expressions, tone, and dialogue were on point to deliver a marvelous performance. The characters’ lines were well spoken and added a lot of humor to the play. Although the play was written by Camoletti himself, it could not have been pulled off any better than was by this cast and team. It is no doubt that Robert fell in love with Gretchen- they are both crazy as…

    The different characters have there on depth in the play, and they have their own battles to deal with, changing racial attitudes in America was something I really learned from the play. Russ is more the protagonist in the play, he and Bev are the married couple who is moving out the neighborhood and Karl is the antagonist he's totally against a black family moving into the community of Clybourne Park. The language was vernacular, it was everyday language .Everyone is rambling speaking over one another in act 2 which I was not pleased with, act 1 was stronger to make this play great as it already…

    Bouncers Evaluation

    • 1251 Words

    I feel that the main message in the performance was how women in a clubbing society have changed in these modern times, the message is shown from a male point of view. The theme wasn’t discussed with any of the characters other than the four bouncers, in particular Lucky Eric, who would focus on the subject in his monologues. I think Godber used the play to show that young girls are misguided by looking for sex, when they go out clubbing. When delivering this message, the characters would look at the audience and make gestures at them. Secondly I feel that there was another smaller message too, and that was how bouncers don’t get the credit they need and the certain drawbacks to the job.…

    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…

    Addam's Play: Play Review

    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.…

    Seminar Play Analysis

    On November 20th I went to the Black Box theatre to see the play Seminar. It was a small production, and there were only five actors. Going into the play, I had no idea what to expect. I had heard the play was a bit raunchy, with explicit dialogue and provocative scenes. The play started out with four actors portraying college graduate writers. I loved how realistic the setting was; it really looked like somebody’s real apartment. The actors did very well portraying emotion, and every thing they did and said I could relate to. At one point, a girl was eating real ice cream and complaining on the couch to her friend. I thought it was funny how every girl could relate to that scene. I also liked that the actor had no problem devouring ice cream on top of memorizing her lines and acting at the same time. I would find it hard not to focus on anything other than the delicious taste of the ice cream.…

    This play did not provide a visual for less creative minds like myself. There was so much talking, storytelling, and current conversations, that I found myself lost through a couple of scenes such as the one where the random Vietnam boy shows up then gets eaten by some cannibalism. Good thing for Denny’s (Aaron Roman Weiner) aggressive voice which always brought my attention back to the play. What’s not to love about Denny? He is an alcoholic racist Italian who takes the law into his own hands leaving his kindergarten best friend, Joey (Kyle Fabel), to cover for him.…

    There are two interesting passages that I discovered that talk a lot about his traits as a character. The first one is about his appearance. “The eyes are dull… the shoulders are hunched, muscles were drawn as if our bodies were shrinking…“ (Rand 47). This passage is interesting because it tells us how his body was shrinking, like he was put to work too much. He’s not the same person as he is in the beginning of the book because he is so worn out now from not having proper care. The second passage that I thought was interesting is about the characters thoughts was “So much is to…

    The following play that I viewed and am about to critique is, “Boy Gets Girl” by Rebecca Gilman. In this play there are seven characters: Theresa, Tony, Howard, Mercer, Harriett, Les, and Beck. The play was set in New York City during the Fall of 2000 and a basic mood of the show was suspenseful drama. The play starts off with Theresa, a journalist, going on an awkward, blind date with Tony, that was set up by their mutual friend Linda.…
