Jerry Finnegan's Sister Play Analysis

1036 Words5 Pages

On thursday night I went to see Jerry Finnegan’s Sister. The play had two actors which were Morgan Fox and Genevieve Craven. They played the roles as Brian Dowd and Beth Finnegan. Brian is in love with Jerry Finnegan's sister (his best friend’s sister) ever since a young age, but can never tell her. He is in the conflict of wanting to tell her, but his window is closing. As they like to call it “the point of no return.” The set depicted two neighbor houses which was Brian house next to Jerry house. The design of Jerry's house was like a more of a modern house per say with a artistic look to it. It also had boy qualities towards it with the spiderman posters *cough* Jeff *cough*. Overall it felt like it belonged to a boy because of how the …show more content…

He used the audience in a very good manner and made that person that people just come to know that can’t get any girls. It was funny to see how much this guy tried to get the girl which I can relate to seeing that around me. Genevieve was also a great actor, but I couldn’t relate as much. Though it also brings out that person depicted in other people’s minds that goes out with every boy. There is these whole spectrum which is depicted just by these two actors. That means if they can show it that well and that concise it must have great acting. I also do think it has great acting as …show more content…

Morgan fit perfectly to the weird boy because he is able to depict this boy. Same goes with Genevieve which all in all were good choices. The “going to the past” were a good indicator of them growing up which made the play flow very good and connect to the situation at hand. The blocking was good with all of them interacting with this and that just added more to the play. Also it was funny when they used the whole audience area for acting and made the audience more involved with the show. The remarks on the directors part were okay, but creeping on the “creepy” part. Lessen on them remarks because eventually for me even they would get

  • Analysis Of Jim Germaux's Parallel Play

    568 Words  | 3 Pages

    I chose to write about Jim Germaux’s Parallel Play because it evokes beauty in a unique way using pattern, line, and color Germaux’s Parallel Play exemplifies beauty through eye-catching pattern. Each piece of this collection uses an arrangement of circles in a manner that is organized and yet spontaneous. The location of each circle is unpredictable, but the way the Germaux arranges the circles in his painting, side-by-side in no particular order, creates a sense of movement and playfulness that is attractive to the viewer’s eye. The viewer is drawn in by the mass quantity of these circles and is then challenged to look upon the spontaneity of the arrangement, and to try to find familiar patterns within. Germaux is making the viewer move his or her eyes over the circle pattern in several directions creating a commotion that pulls the viewer into the composition in such an effective way that is beautiful.

    Tompson Highways play, The Rez Sisters, illustrates the various challenges Native Canadians face within today’s society. The audience and readers of the play are able to learn and understand the numerous problems which exist on the Reserve including poverty, gambling, abuse and addiction. Perhaps one of the bigger challenges found however, is within each of the individual characters. There is a loss of identity which in turn, diminishes one’s tradition, language and culture. Identity is how you view yourself and your life.

    The switching of roles is as quick as the blink of an eye especially the scenes with the traveling salesman, conductor and Hannay. They also use vocal sounds to reenact trains noises and other objects that aren't visual props but still make you feel as if they're there. The actors themselves being human props is a great thing that makes the play work. The funny accents especially of Hannay are quite comical. When Annabella simulates sex with the male actor with her having a knife wound in her back was hilarious as hell I actually cried

  • What Is The Importance Of Acting In Fahrenheit 451

    812 Words  | 4 Pages

    The viewers of the play of Ray Bradbury’s, Fahrenheit 451, agreed that the reenactment was very different than what they were expecting, after reading the novel. The play was not the worst thing the audience had seen but it certainly wasn’t the best. For a well known novel that complies censorship, the Fahrenheit 451 play was very unsatisfactory due to its absence of acting skills, unnecessary props and scenes, and erroneous interpretations and plot.     The absence of superior acting skills is not something that is wanted out of a play when that is the main component. During this play the actress portraying the character of Clarisse was exceedingly dramatic and too monotone.

    On March 16 I saw The Wedding Singer at Lawrenceville High School. Overall the Performing Arts Department did a good job with the resources they were given. The students were able to bring the characters of 70’s adults to the stage for most of the time and the costumes helped project those characters even more. Sadly the singing was only semi-decent and after intermission the amount of energy on stage went downhill fast and by the final celebratory number it was clear the majority of the actors were simply reciting lyrics and doing dance moves instead of enjoying what they were doing.

    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

    There was the old man who was employed by Through's parents who was there to provide the comic relief to some of the grimmer quotations of the play and the confusing parts in the play. Then there was the woman who provided the real-world rationalities that Through isolated himself from and called him out for acting the way he did. I felt that several people arguing in a room does not make a good play, and when a new character was introducing they would go and be quiet in a corner. The story wasn’t very prominent and it seemed to be an amalgamation of quotes by these two famous authors and that was about it. The characters never went through any large significant change other that beginning to bicker about a new subject.

  • Shakespeare's Sister Virginia Woolf Analysis

    Do you know that Shakespeare is not the only gifted writer in his family? This mysterious member exists in the English writer Virginia Woolf’s imagination. In her famous essay “Shakespeare’s Sister,” Woolf uses the hypothetical anecdote of Judith Shakespeare as her main evidence to argue against a dinner guest, who believes that women are incapable of writing great literature. During the time when Judith is created, women are considered to be naturally inferior to men and are expected to be passive and domestic. Regarding her potential audience, educated men, as “conservative,” Woolf attempts to persuade them that social discouragement is the real cause of the lack of great female writers without irritating them by proposing “radical” arguments.
