Honky Tonk Angels Analysis

442 Words2 Pages

On Saturday, September 19th, I ushered for the performance of the Honky Tonk Angels. This was a production put on by Stages Repertory Theatre. It is a relatively new musical comedy written by Ted Swindley that features three escaping dreamers. This production had so much success over its run that the Stages Repertory Theatre decided to extend the production’s run an additional two weeks. The extension gave me the opportunity to usher for a performance, and because there were many seats left open for this performance, the ushers that helped obtained ideal seating in the center section. Ted Swindley focuses on a climactic structure for the Honky Tonk Angels. The plot follows three very different quintessential characters that all eventually

    The Kiwanis Hi-Liters is a group of eighteen or so young performers between 7 and 18 who travelled to local convalescent homes and nursing homes each week from September to May in an effort to bring some joy to the elderly. Throughout these two-hour shows, there were performances from singers, musicians, clowns, and magicians. When I first started as the backstage manager my role was to ensure the audio technicians had the proper music for each performance prior to the start of the show, organizing the performers before their numbers and relaying pertinent information to the directors regarding any changes that needed to be made to the line-up because of unforeseen complications whether that was the performer was no longer available to do their

    The Fool's Errand was performed on April 17th, 2015, the first show on the last night of the Accademia dell'Arte grad lab presentations. This meant that when the audience arrived, the performance space was already set up for my show. The audience entered a quiet, dimly lit performance space surrounded by black curtains and facing a field of stars and the, as of yet unexplained, Moon Beam Lantern; glowing softly and suspended above. The house music was relatively low, though audible, and was made up of songs about the Moon and Fools. The sense of the space was dreamy and contemplative, like sitting outside on a summer evening watching the stars wheel overhead.

The theatre vocabulary is very confusing for the outside world, but for me it is my second language. More specifically, I have developed a passion for the technical elements of theatre over the years. The joy of being the “people in black” that can make amazing sets and produce incredible plays which goes unnoticed.. Although this discourse is much small yet complex it has helped me find out who I am but also in my academic skills through learning how to work in teams, solve problems independently but also how to be

  • All Along The Watchtower Analysis

    1363 Words  | 6 Pages

    The Poietic Aspect of Hendrix 's "All Along the Watchtower" Jimi Hendrix, probably one of the greatest guitarists of all time, in 1968 covered "All along the watchtower," a song originally written and performed a few months earlier by Bob Dylan. Even though Hendrix 's admiration for Dylan 's work was well known , his choice to cover a song belonging to a completely different music genre is emblematic. So why did Hendrix decide to cover Bob Dylan 's "All along the watchtower?" In this paper, I will argue that Hendrix 's cover of Dylan 's "All along the watchtower," thanks to its lyrics and sound dynamic, optimally conveys his anti-war and anti-violence beliefs.

    With Phillips’ quick fire dialogue and extreme skill of storytelling, to the untrained viewer this play could be reduced to so much less than it is worth. The spectacle of the lighting design as well as one unforgettable Robert LaPage-esque moment with a coffee cup on a sideways table seem to be a little kitschy, at times. When these moments occurred, the audience would erupt with “oohs”, “ahhs” and “how did he do that?” ’s. Although, theoretically, these spectacles made sense, it did not appear to add anything meaningful to the production.

  • Theatre Experience

    The show does not provide a simulator of the environments offered as a part of the performance, instead the guests are placed “on the stage,” when they invited to “act” in their own way, by making personal observations and explorations. In terms of entertainment experience, the feelings and emotions induced by the show made the experience memorable and valuable. The show’s audience feels engaged in something specific, unordinary, different from traditional theater performance. The educational experience reflects in the very nature of the action, the Shakespeare’s classic Scottish tragedy, which allows visitors to gain knowledge about the performance through observation and to perchance a script of the show or a book with Shakespeare’s Scottish Play (Macbeth) at the theater’s store. Additionally, the store offers a variety of souvenirs (memorabilia) to purchase, to help its guests to associate their experience with physical items, which are also designed and presented in consistency with general theme of the show.
