Samantha Play Paper
Samantha Garay
A Few weeks ago,
Me, Bryan and Sage went to go see this play called Biloxi Blues. It was my
first time ever seeing a play. I’m more of a musical, opera person, plays have
never gotten my interest, but that’s
besides the point. But
when I walked in, and saw all the people waiting line and I started to change
my mine about the play I was about to watch. The doors open at 8pm all the
guest walked in ,and sat at there seats.
I remember the seats; they were purple my favorite color. The first thing I
notices when I walked in was the stage. I was shocked the theater was so small.
I began to wonder how the actors were going to perform with such a confined
space. This theater was different then most theater, because the way it was
arrange made me, and the audience feel like we were apart the of sense. I will
have to say that seeing this play was very refreshing for me. I was quit impress
with the acting and the actor. When the play started I really like the way how
the music that they were playing was helping our mines get into a mood for us to understand the story a little better. Biloxi Blues is a story about a group
of young men going to boot camp to train
for world war II. These guys are introduce by a very excited young guy by name
of Eugene morris Jerome. He keep’s a diary with him the whole time writing down
his thoughts and his view and each guy meets on his trip to boot camp. In this
story we follow this guy through tough to time’s . Each solder has a different
story and where they came form, beside the point joining the army. You have
this one guy that Is a self center jackass that want to be the boss of every, you have another
that is not the brightness in group and his sort of a kiss ass and a push over,
but seems to be like by the other in the group. Now this charter about tell u
about should not even be in the army at all. This guy was 6”3 and was skinny at
pole, he had big ear’s and he wore the big nerd class, and on top of that he
was a Jew! There was a guy that crazy and had some dark things about him that
one really could see at the moment. And last you had Eugene, a guy who was kind
of Holden by his insert curies but was very smart and overall nice guy, kind of
too nice. I can say that this story was very relatable to, because as me
growing up to become man also dealt with some of these problems. Like the Jew,
and Eugene I also had to battle my insert curies. The morel of this is to find
who you in life and be comfortable with
it. We all have problems, but he’s all have you handle the your problems in.
you see at the end the each solder had change for the first time we see them in
the story. Life some time we need a a moment or a mine war to make us lessen
the things that hold us back in life.
Sage's Play Paper
I went to the play for this class assignment and it was really good to see a theater play than
movies I see all the time. They are two different things all together and that’s what makes the
experience so god in its own unique way. I prepared myself by eating and going to the rest
room before hand since this is a live performance I can’t just simply pause the show as if I were
watching this on television and even at a movie theater I never get distracted and go to the
restroom and ruin what I paid to see.
The theater was within a apartment complex with many resident who not only had dogs every where but loved to just hang out and relax. It was a very nice place to live. As I entered the theater the
curtains where up and shoed the stage and its props set up for the performance and that I never see for
the plays I went to in the past. A projector was up playing old World War II looney toons cartoons to be
with the theme of the play and I didn’t mine that so it can kill time and make the show start sooner than
you think.
The actors in the play where very good at staying in character and making them
believable. The main actor did a great job for his role and kept the crowd constantly laughing at
his sarcasm and nervous behavior. Which the scenes where he steps of stage to talk to the
audience what he thinks of the situation is in where really well done. A spot light beamed down
on him while every other light was turned off. This gave it a look to show that we are not
watching him but watching him be his mind to talk to us. It was as if this was a whole new
stage.
Besides everything being professionally being a well done play I want to go to more and
watch different themes and see how they gets their moods across with lighting, staging and
acting.

Bryan Play Paper
ONE NIGHT AT A PLAY
By
:Bryan Williams
On my
18th I arrived at the theater
wondering was Biloxi Blues was to be going to be a good play or not. But when I
walked in, and saw all the people waiting line and I started to change my mine
about the play I was about to watch. The doors open at 8pm all the guest walked

very refreshing for me. I was quit impress with the acting and the actor. As a
kid I was always involved in theater, I
also took acting in high school. So to seeing this play brought back a lot of members for me.
When the play started I really like the way how the music that they were
playing was helping our mines get into a mood for us to understand the story a little better. Biloxi Blues is a story about a group

Play Write-up
I am writing
my show write up on this ice show I saw at Busch Gardens called Iceploration. It was basicly about this young boy named
Austin and his Grandfather, who decides
to go out and explore the world. It was
a very interesting show. It was filled
with wonderful music, dancing, acrobatics, and skating. I have never seen anything like it, I think
it was a one of a kind show.
When my
girlfriend and arrived at the theater and seated, we were pleased to see that
the people who were selling food were already making their rounds, we were extremely
hungry. Another thing that I notice was
that it was very cold! I mean we had
just went on a water ride and we come in here and freeze our butt off, but it
was my fault. Anyways, The show was on of the greatest spectacles I’ve
ever seen. Like I’ve never seen human
beings move so gracefully, set designed so beautifully, or music that sounded
so heavenly. It wa like I was transported
to an entirely new world.
The though
the blocking for the show was amazing.
Like I don’t understand how you block something with so much movement. There would be as many as nine skaters on the
stage at once and yet their movements were still so seamless. I noticed they used similar blocking set ups
that we learned in class. They used A,
L, and I formations while in movement, making sure that we always had a clear
view of the graceful skates.
I was very
impressed by the scenery. We were amazed
to see the breathtaking sets. The play
took us through many locations like the African Serengeti, Great Barrier Riff and
the Amazon rainforest; all were beautifully designed. They used screens to give the look of an
underwater scene, that was my favorite show of scenery. The costumes were also amazing; they quickly
changed between costumes many times and very often. It was just an amazing show. I also enjoyed the many set pieces like the
huge fish puppet that they made swim around using a few skaters. It was a sight to see. Also I love when they went to the Amazon
Rainforest. They had these three
acrobats dressed as animals and they were just in the background doing backflips
and many other acrobatic maneuvers, while never touching. While they were doing that they had people in
front of them skating. Their costumes
were just dazzling. All of the colorful
backgrounds worked well with the backgrounds.
A great
touch to the show was when they began to drop ice on the audience. I would have to admit, It made things a lot
colder. The little things they did like
that just made the experience more magical.
Another thing they did was add actual animals to the show. They had birds flying around the roof, they
had a strange animal walk across the front of the audience. It was just a great spectacle to see. They had dogs bring in the two main actors
into the Arctic. Like I would have loved
to see a cheetah or a lion on stage, just to try to touch them, but they made
it clear not to touch the animal performers.
I was very
happy with my live performance. I got to
experience a great show. It was just
amazing watching the story unfold and watching the sets change so quickly and
often as they did. The dancing was
amazing, the music was amazing. The best
scene for the show was when they hand a cheetah chasing after a pack of defenseless
animals. The blocking of this scene was
amazing. The skaters were moving at very
fast speeds, and it made it look like the cheetah was really attacking. I love when all but one of the animals left
the stage and it hand to face the cheetah, it dance was amazing and was cool
how they were dancing and showing that they were fight against each other. This
was probably one of the best shows I’ve seen this year. I would love to go see it again. I recommended this show to everyone. Go enjoy it.

Anthony Agnelli's Play write
My
best friend, Bobby Burns, invited me to go back to my old high school to see a
play. I was very excited yet nervous at the same time; I didn’t know what to
expect except for people who I’ve been friends with or people who thought I was
awkward, but it didn’t matter to me, I was ready to see my high school again. When
I was driving, everything looked familiar and I was brought back to the good
times and the bad times.
When I drove in the front of my school,
I had a feeling that people, who knew me, would be surprised of my return, but
it turned out that only a few people were very excited to see me again. When
Bobby arrived at the theater, we walked inside and found ourselves empty seats almost
before everybody else arrived. There was a big set with some wooden boxes on
top of each other for the actors to stand up on. As soon as everyone else came
in, the play was ready to start.
Everything was dark at first but
then music started to play the yellow and green lights started to turn on. Music
began to play and we saw one actor, he was standing in the middle and very top
of the wooden setting. He was wearing a green cap, and a green shirt with white
spots, he started singing and moving all around the set and then we spotted an
actress. I realized that the actress plays a mother goose and the actor plays
the husband.
We then see some eggs that start to
hatch and then little yellow ducklings come out and they are all played by kid
actors wearing yellow shirts and they were moving and running around each other.
All the actors started to move around
the set, smiling and singing. They pretended they were swimming by putting
their arms on the sides of their bodies and walking in tip-toes. Then all of a
sudden, the last egg hatched, all the actors gathered around the egg, two
spotlights surrounded the egg. And one actor popped out and surprised us by
yelling, “HOOOONK!!” He was wearing a brown suit with a brown hat. The actor
was the Ugly Duckling.
So then we had some comedy, his dad, tries
to teach the duckling how to quack, but the ugly duckling couldn’t help saying,
“HOOOONK!!” The dad gets startled and we start laughing as he moves his arms
fast from being startled. Then we have another song playing called “Look at
him.” The characters begin to tease the poor duckling except his mother. They
begin to judge him by the way he looks and they think that he should have to
look alike. They start moving back and forth left and right to be visible for
the whole audience. Then we have the first appearance of the Black Cat who
wants to eat the Ugly Duckling. She is dressed in a black suit and her hair is
bundled up to look like cat ears. She is probably one of the best parts of the
play, mainly because she is an amazing dancer. She dances almost all the time. The
way she performs her dance moves is to show the audience that she is an
antagonist.
The next scene is with the Ugly
Duckling and the Cat. The duck is just sitting down while the cat dances around
with her ingredients as she is about to cook him, she dances around him in
circle almost the whole time. Then we have another scene with The Duck and
several new actors pop out dressed like frogs. The lighting was all green and
blue to show us there was a pond. The actors were moving up and down on their
hands and feet except for one actor who plays the dad. He was also hold a black
cane. His voice began to make us laugh, he was moving around goofy and silly.
The Duck and the Frog began to rotate each side of the stage. In the end, the
Frog tapped the ducks shoulder with his cane and all the frogs hopped away. The
purpose of that scene was to talk about why feeling different didn’t matter.
Then we have a scene between the Duck and his love interest, the Female Swan as
the lights began to change into white. They were both standing and singing
together and the lyrics were very heart warming and after the whole song, we
believed they were in love. The Swan was ready to leave and the duck asked if
he would ever see her again and that is where we were invested in the love
story.
Then there was a winter scene, where
the duck gets covered with snow, the actor only uses a white blanket right
before the mother arrives and she starts to cry. Another song plays about how
much she misses her son. We start to feel the sympathy for her and most of the
audience almost cried as the lighting is all blue and surrounding the actress
as she is moving very closely to the blanket. But then, as the mother goose,
moves the white blanket, the duck appears as a swan and says, “HOOOOONK!!!” We
were very surprised when the Ugly Duckling was back. This time, he was wearing
a white suit. The Black Cat returned to find the Ugly Duckling and as soon as
she finds out that he is a swan, she begins to gasp and starts running away with
her feet moving all around.
It was a great experience to see
actors in a play to influence me as director in the future. There will have to
be facial expressions, the way they speak, etc. I was really entertained by
their performances and I even felt sympathy for the one character. It was also
very nice to learn about the lighting technicians and how the story would
surprise us. I learned so much at that play and I hope to instruct my actors
very well as a direct of the future.

You let him beat me, Rape me all because you loved him. But what about me mother. You didn’t love me huh, I wasn’t good enough

But it didn’t matter to you huh, because you still had someone to hold
you at night, AT THE EXPENSE of me.
