Alice In Wonderland Play Analysis

703 Words3 Pages

The company of the play is Artslandia and the performance was Alice (In Wonderland). The Play was performed at Keller Auditorium, on March 2, 2018 at 7:30pm. The overall tone of the production was enjoyable. Alice goes down a rabbit hole and was brought into a magical land called wonderland; however, the Queen of Hearts and her army becomes reality. Alice is told about a task that she thinks that she can not accomplish the task. The characters were very believable, the music was able to set the right tone for the atmosphere throughout the ballet. The body movements were extremely well, you were able to see how the character would have felt with each gesture as well as their body movement. Ansa Appizzi who played as Alice was spot on with …show more content…

The movement of the actors seemed to be all over the place but somehow it worked really well for the play, everything from the character's movement just lined up just right. The play was almost perfect, but there was a couple moments that it seemed like there was too much going on, on stage that brought my attention away from the storyline. They seemed like they were all in the same play. I was near the back of the performance, so I was kinda lost because I wasn’t really sure what hand movements they were doing. I ended up not following the story very well at certain parts then I was able to follow once I knew where I was at in the story. I would recommend if you haven’t watched or read Alice In Wonderland you should watch it sometime before you go see the play.
I believe that the production was trying to tell us is that we are a different person than we are yesterday because Alice thought she wasn’t capable of doing the task she was given, the reason that made her think she wasn’t able to do it was that she was making a lot of mistakes. I think the director was trying to get us to go along with the journey with Alice to know how she was feeling while going through with her struggles. Overall, I really like the ballet. The ballet was really pretty, the music and lighting was just

    The play did a great job of conveying this, as I found myself being entertained as well as deeply entwined with the story line. The attempt could have been a shot in the dark, but it hit the nail right on the head and I found it very pleasing. However, the one dark mark on this play is that it had a hard time balancing out the perfection in every character.

    She sees things that she would never think were possible, for example: she talks to animals, and they talk back; she drank a potion that made her shrink, and she was considered the historical hero of Wonderland. Therefore, she keeps denying that she is the “real Alice” that Wonderland had always waited for. Alice is insecure and feels like she is not capable of accomplishing the tasks and duties she is expected to. Alice meets a man called Mad Hatter and while she has tea with him he teaches her about the Red Queen and her plans of devastating Wonderland. He tells Alice to kill the monster, the Jabberwocky and protect Wonderland from the evil Red Queen.

    The Ocean County College Repertory Theater Company performed the play, Smokey Joe’s Cafe at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts, located on the Ocean County College campus. Smokey Joe’s Cafe was a very engaging play from the talent of the actors, musical ability of the musicians, and the overall joyful atmosphere. The environment of this play was quite perfect; there were comfortable seats and I have a great view of the stage. It was a pleasant, inside venue at room temperature, not too hot or not too cold.

    Apparel exceeded my expectations. I have been to several Broadway Lights shows in Charlotte over the years, and this production is one of the better ones I’ve seen, if not the best. The stage was designed very well for the show, the story was excellently written, and the play resonated well with a contemporary audience. My immediate response to the layout of the theater was that I didn’t like it because I am not a huge fan of theater performances in the round.

    The musical Young Frankenstein, by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan adds a comedic touch for the audience to experience, while trying to introduce some aspects of horror on the side. Through the elements of acting, costumes, scenery, sound, lighting, and directing/choreography, this musical was able to successfully portray itself as a comedy for the audience to enjoy and experience. The use of lighting throughout the musical enhanced the play overall, as it helped to transition between different scenes and to amplify the visual effects during scenes. One of the scenes, for example, titled “Please Don’t Touch Me” highlighted the use of the followspot, which is used to highlight the main attention that one of the cast members is speaking or singing

    It can be hard for the deaf and hard of hearing to become engaged in theater. Sign language interpreters, though extremely helpful, do not allow deaf audience members to fully experience a show. South Plantation High School, one of the only schools to offer a program for the deaf, cast tradition aside to create a rendition of “The Crucible” that is truly one of a kind. The dark, witchcraft-filled production follows a series of deaf characters who are narrated in English, rather than the other way around. “The Crucible” initially debuted on Broadway in 1953 and was written by Arthur Miller.

  • The Play That Goes Wrong Play Analysis

    “The Play That Goes Wrong” required a very detailed strategic plan of the arranged props and set design that actors need to follow in their performance. I believe the performers did a marvelous job in following the detailed choreography of the show. One of the most memorable cast members was Nancy Zamit. She played Annie the stage manager, who took the spotlight when she was forced into playing Charles’ fiancée named Sandra because the original female lead got "knocked unconscious” in the middle of the play. As terribly shy as she was, Zamit intensified the enjoyment of the audience as her character was reading off lines from pages of the script very awkwardly and awfully in an unfitted red dress and wig.

    After she has seen that even she has taken those times for granted, she can't bear to think that everyone else will do the same. She cannot continue to relive her childhood memories, and decides to remain in her seat among the dead. Even the Stage Manager himself points out that they do not have much time to waste. While speaking to Professor Willard he states, “May I introduce Professor Willard of our State University. A few brief notes, thank you, Professor,−unfortunately our time is limited.” Because the Stage Manager acts as the link between the fictional world of the play and the real world from the audience’s perspective, he makes it a point that they don’t have time to waste not just to the characters, but to also to the viewers.
