very great play. Since it was a musical, I knew I would enjoy it. I do not think there was one thing I did not enjoy about the play. The reason I enjoyed the play is because the story about the freaks was very vivid and understanding. The actors, costumes, music, designs were all amazing. The director, casts, and staging were all great. The director of the play is Adriano Cabral and he did a fantastic job. In order for the play to be a play, a director is needed to organize and make nothing…

game inside the sewer used pantomiming when rolling the dice and used fake money as a prop. The main characters faced the audience, but the ensemble did have their backs turned which was difficult to see their body language. The musical had frequent costume changes, scene changes which…

that the connection is unfavorable. The story is dark, mysterious, and shows how easy it is to hide things. Edgar Allan Poe uses irony of the costumes, title, and setting to show the theme that there is hidden meaning behind the simplest of things. Irony is in many sections of the story helping to create the theme. Situational irony is shown with costumes to create a greater effect of mystery. Fortunato and Montresor begin the story at the carnival. Montresor, according to criticism #2, “Wore…

need to lie and Torvald’s need for control. Likewise, the dancing costume reveals that Torvald prefers to control Nora. It also reveals that he sees his wife as a doll instead of a woman. Torvald has the costume made for her in Capri, Italy several years ago (1098; Act II). This shows that Torvald has planned for Nora to dance in this particular costume much like a puppet master plans his shows ahead of time. As for Nora, the costume reveals that at first she enjoys the doll-like treatment, but…

TMTR Reflection For our production of The Mouse that Roared, I was the crew head for costumes crew. This involved taking the measurements of all the cast members then putting off all of my work until after The King and I. Once I actually got to work my crew had all disappeared and all the costumes I had found had been lost so my job then consisted of finding all new costumes, Cherland saying they were fine, then hating them the week of the show. Once Cherland decided he hated everything I had…

sign up. I'm not usually this negative, but here's a bit I wrote about the NYCB costume gala... I saw the NYCB costume gala program (not on the gala night). I thought Justin Peck's Pulcinella was very well crafted. It's great to see him tackling Stravinsky, classicism and tutu ballets. In my opinion, the costume gala is always a gamble. One example is Liam Scarlett's duet where the woman is so dwarfed by her costume that the real drama onstage is her fight with her gown. Why cover a…

A Christmas Carol play review On December First 2015 I saw A Christmas Carol the play at the Trinity Repetory Company.In Providence Rhode Island at 10:30 AM.

I thought the special effects in the play were magnificent .One of the special effects that I thought was very impressive was when they…
