8. The only two unique sound effects that were used in the production was a bell ringing and a thud sound. The bell ringing sound effect was used when Hope was trying to hear Bobby’s heart beat and when she heard Bobby’s heart beat the bell rung. The second sound effect was a thud sound and was used when Bobby fell to the ground. Bobby was pushed off the building and instead of jumping he walked down the steps like he was falling. When Bobby was off stage there was a loud thud noise representing that Bobby hit the ground.
9. There were a lot of props used during the performance; there was night sticks, a mop, a plunger, a taser, a knife, rope, a desk chair, flashlights, a cane, a stuffed bunny rabbit, a document that says Fee Hike, a whistle, and coin money. The props helped characterized the actors roles as the night sticks were used by Officer Lockstock and Officer Barrel the two main cops in the performance. The night sticks, whistles, taser, and flashlights were all the props that Officer Lockstock used during the performance and those props helped

My favorite scene was the Urinetown scene with Officer Lockstock and Company. The reason this was my favorite scene was because this scene introduced the audience to the major characters in the play like Hope, Bobby Strong, Officer Lockstock, Little Sally, Penelope Pennywise, and the people of Urinetown. Also this was the only time the actors used the entire theatre during the performance and the only scene where the actors interacted with the audience. This was a creative idea by getting the audience involved in the musical and to introduce the musical to the audience. Additionally this scene told the audience about Urinetown, introduced the main characters and told the audience the reason why the people had to pay to use the bathrooms in Urinetown. This was an interesting and entertaining scene to watch and the audience knew what scene was going to come next and why it was important for the
The use of sound helped to create a story behind the scenes. The sounds of Drum’s gunfire and Ouiser’s dog barking create a humorous event outside of the set. This scene of family/neighborhood craziness is relatable to any audience member in some way and helped the audience to connect with the characters. The use of the radio at the beginning and end of each scene helped to establish a mood and in some cases a time change. It also worked as a signal to the audience when a scene was beginning or
1.Though The Glass Castle is brimming with unforgettable stories, Which scenes were the most memorable for you? Which were the most shocking, the most inspiring, the funniest?
I found the setting of the show to be visually amazing. One scene that I found interesting and heart touching, was when Elphaba and Glinda realize that it’s the end for the wicked witch. The hunters that have been chasing them have finally caught up to them and have come to kill her. Glenda and Elphaba share a moment of reflection and love that they know will be the final embrace they will ever share. At the end of the song “My life has changed forever” because I knew you, they share an embrace where you can feel the love radiate from the stage to the audience, I actually began to shed a few tears along with my girlfriend because, this scene was heart touching. Looking about at others in the audience and I noticed that they were emotional too both man and women had watery eyes or was
One of its numerous strengths was the costuming and set. This musical would not have been the same had these elements not come together to transport the viewer. In addition to the costuming and the set, the actors were very well cast. Each actor was in a role that fit them and they portrayed their characters very well. For example, the man who played Glen really seemed like a greedy Wall Street worker. The choreography was also well done. It fit true to the style of dance in the 1980s and added to the immersion experience. The only thing that could have made this experience better would be to add more music. This may just be a personal preference, but when I see a musical I like for the music to be central like it is in Hamilton or Les Miserables. However, this musical was very good and not much could be added to enhance the
On a cold, brisk Tuesday night, I attended the musical called Urinetown by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis. Urinetown was held in Rowand-Johnson Hall, at the Marian Gallaway Theatre. As I quickly walked in the entrance, I noticed that people were wearing casual attire. I gave the usher my ticket and walked to my seat. This time my seat was located up at the front so I had a great view of the stage. This particular theatre is my favorite, it is very open and you can see from every seat. This musical is known to be a musical comedy which deals with different themes, unique text, and extraordinary technical elements.
In the scene when Amélie’s perfume cap drops to the floor and hits the wall tile, sound effects emphasize the visual image of what actually happened. Before the cap hit the floor, the background music became silent, and all the audience heard was a loud band from the cap. After the cap hit the floor, it quickly rolled, and knocked a tile off the wall. After the cap hit the tile, a loud rumble emphasized that there was importance that lied behind that wall. The director applied multiple sound effects to key the importance as to the box that was behind the wall. Although the sounds were simple, it created an interesting vibe to the audience. Some of the key sounds of the scene were the cap hitting the floor, the cap knocking the tile of the wall, and the loud rumble that occurred after the hole in the wall was created. On the other hand, this film also uses silence expressively. In the final scene, when Amélie greets Nino at her door, silence expressively describes the mood of the two characters. The only sound the audience hears is the kisses they are giving to each other, but even their facial expressions describe that they are in love with each other and meant to be
As, the scene fades back from black, non-diegetic sound takes place as the background sound source. Sound that hasn't been implied to be present in the action: added for the dramatic effect. The suspense in the scene is constructed from this sound. Furthermore, props throughout this movie are essential, the audience are
The choreography kept things interesting and the dances in a musical can make or break the performance. Overall, Cherie and Abby did an amazing job directing each person to have a place among a crowded stage. Last but not least, the costumes! This play was set in the 1890s, meaning it is very important to have correlating costumes so the audience can be aware of what time period they are in.
chose a scene of the play which is dramatically effective. show how this contributes to the overall understanding of the key theme(s) of the play.
Critics have often dismissed the comic scenes of the play as crowd-pleasing devices or filler, "only casually related to the main action" (Becker 74). The filler theory can be dismissed outright given the length the play already enjoys. The scenes involving Pistol, Nym, and Bardolph, or Fluellen and Gower actually fit the play perfectly. As far as the play's themes go, these...
My favorite scene in A Tale of Two Cities is one of the last scenes, when Sydney Carton is about to go to the guillotine. It takes place in Paris, near a prison, and many people have gathered to watch french aristocrats be beheaded. The atmosphere is tense and chaotic; Sydney, however, remains calm, even though he is about to be killed. Sydney is holding the hand of a young girl who is given no name other than a "poor little seamstress". Sydney and the seamstress, who are both being wrongfully killed, comfort each other just before they reach the guillotine, and they seem to have an instant romantic connection with each other. I loved this scene because it showed that Sydney Carton had finally found someone who could love him, as he could love them, but it saddened me that he had found her just before their deaths.
The intricate and delicate choreography of Slip was daunting, yet relatable. Phillip Chbeeb and Renee Kester created the concept and the choreography and performed the dance beautifully. Everything about the setting, the music of choice and the moves blended ever so perfectly. From the beginning when they made contact with each other through their hands to the very end when he caressed her face very lightly and their eyes met, each part of the choreography was felt through the viewer.
Arguably, the most important scene of the play is when we meet Rita for the first time. This is in the opening act of the play.
Act 3 Scene 1 is a crucial scene in the play. It is a turning point
On April 24, 2014, I watched the specific dance “Against the Grain”, which is choreographed by Sofia Olga Carreras. This dance was performed by many dancers who were Jessica Adams, Nelly Camacho, Leanna Hamilton, Hollee Hennebelle, Heather Horn, Sara Loder, April Maclean, Julie Morris Tessier, Robyn O’Dell, Michaela O’Malley, Alicia Slaughter, and Tracy Tom-Honn. Even though it was a group dance, there still was a solo dancer who was Jessica Adams. The dance was performed in the RCC Performing Arts Center, and the Intersect Dance Theater Co. produced this dance. By watching this creative dance, I saw that the eccentric girl often did different movement from others; eventually, everybody left her, and she lived lonely.
