I have watched six plays from 8:30pm till 10:30pm on 25 September 2014(Thursday) at Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac), which located at the Jalan Strachan, Sentul Park, off Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The title that I have chosen for my play reviews is, the Bling Ring, which the director is Kevin Eng. The story of this play is about a group of teenagers had decided to revisit Paris Hilton’s House to “borrow” her fashionable clothes and accessories. The play was role played by Leanne Chuan, Cheryl Monteiro, Joan Lee and Surayyn Selvan.
The performer of the play, which I liked most, is Joan Lee. Her actions, body languages, have caught my attention throughout the whole play. She has successfully exerted her role as the leader of the thief gangs when breaking into the Paris Hilton’s House to steal the items. She has expressed the excitement of stealing the clothes and accessories, and feels no guilt for it, especially when she applied one of the golden shining clothes, walking and showing off proudly around the stage, this is my favorite part of the show. She presented her role as a fashion presenter rather that a thief throughout the show and for that, she had become my favorite performer of the play.
The director has arranged a minor conflict for the other performers to interact with each other. The performers entered the scene as

The plot of the show is about stealing, without the equipment, the performance will be tedious. For example, arguments between Leanne Chuan and Cheryl Monteiro for stealing the same items, the clothes which Joan Lee has applied, are the parts where the equipments have played their role effectively. The show has successfully created a stealthy atmosphere with the dark environment, but the atmosphere of stealing will be more realistic if there are few red laser lights beams through the

Bulrusher is the first production that I personally have been involved with at the University of Southern Mississippi. For this reason, I was really excited about the production from the very beginning. However, when I first read the script, I was a bit disappointed. The script moves rather slowly, lacks action, and explores its themes mainly through dialogue. Initially, I found the script difficult to understand, particularly due to the sporadic use of a virtually unknown colloquial language, and I was somewhat concerned about whether or not the audience was going to understand the themes behind the play.
On October 22nd, at 7:30 pm, in Tarbutton Hall, I watched the play called, “Wit,” by Oxford College Theater. This play was written by Margaret Edson. Having read the play before, I was interested to see how Oxford Theater produced the play. The cast did a very good job being in character the whole time, and communicating to the audience. I could feel the emotions each character was going through.
One of the most important in this particular play is the acting. The actors are good at adapting from one role to the next and switching accessories quickly. The different use of British and other accents in a stereotypical but serious way. The director attempts to make the play successful by bringing everything to life and using the actors to do everything in a smooth and funny matter.
The play Well was interesting, confusing, and comedic. Lisa Kron came out and at first I thought she was the narrator, but she was actually in the play. The play started off with Lisa Kron talking about illness and wellness. She wanted to know why some people would get over the sickness they had, but others stayed sick. Her mother was in the back sitting on a La-Z-Boy chair and was sick and the doctors did not know what she had.
The deafening roar from the crowd filled my ears, as it had done so many times before. I reached down, picked up my ear pieces lying across my shoulders, and placed one in each ear. As the stagehand passed me the mic, my pulse quickened. Standing on the platform beneath the stage, waiting for it to rise, my shoulders tightened. Fourteen years, performing on stages around the world hadn't banished my pre-show jitters.
Once the lights dimmed and the theater went quiet, a man, hanging from a noose, fell to his death. When more characters begin to appear on stage, the scene seems chaotic and confusing. However, once the audience figures out who is voicing the characters and who is acting in sign language, the confusion began to fade. The ensemble did an amazing job portraying their emotions through their body language and using American Sign Language confidently and fluently.
The productions of this play were successful through stage design, lighting crewing, and acting. Those three aspects made the quality of the play stand out to me, as an audience member. The production of the set design of the play was a good effort. The set design for the play staging aims for the sweet spot between feeding adult nostalgia and satisfying a new generation of children.
On March 28th, I had the pleasure of attending the Broadway show called “The Play That Goes Wrong,” located at the Lycuem Theatre on 149 West 45th Street. On this particular Tuesday evening, I just had a vibe that something wrong was going to happen in this play – shockingly. I did believe this play will truly be memorable judging by the fun quirk of the show’s name. After watching the performance for about two hours, I can conclude that this play went beyond my expectation as its set disasters and characters amusingly caught the attention of me and the rest of the audience.
I liked that Paula Vogel did not hold back and let all of the emotions of the play loose. I am anticipating that I will enjoy the play. I personally think I would like it more if the characters were portrayed by only people rather that people holding puppets, but they have too much symbolic meaning to be left out. I think the puppets are meant to resemble the fact that we really have no control over our own lives as children. The release of the real people from the puppets into adults symbolizes the freedom from their

The play kept my attention the whole time and kept me at the edge of my seat. All the characters did a great job with the dancing and singing and making it all come together. I would defiantly go see this play
Before a play begins, I see people sitting in hard metal chairs. Seeing the people fills me with nervousness and excitement. Every person looks different than the last. I see different faces, different clothes, and different expectations on what they are about to see. The sound of quiet talking fills the air, traveling about the room, causing each person to speak just a little louder so he will be heard.
