I attended the attraction Borealis a Holiday Cirque at Mystic Lake Casino, late November with my family. Borealis was conceived and directed by Fernando Quevedo of Q productions in Las Vegas. The all-new show follows the story of one person’s search for the perfect gift. The journey leads to Borealis, enchantress of the Northern Lights who- along with a cast of colorful characters- helps uncover the meaning of Christmas. The hologram system the productions used is second to non, the music was all original and epic in scale, and the performers are at the top of their league. They show was incredibly unique and did a great job celebrating the magic of the holidays. While a bigger platform works well for the Cirque type shows, this was an excellent use of the area to display the always-entertaining Cirque show. Plan for magical, high flying, comical, and mystical mixture of talents on the stage at any given time. Borealis a Holiday Cirque features aerialists, jugglers, acrobats, gymnasts, dancers, hand balancers, high wire artists, Russian swing performers, …show more content…
It was much different than anything I have been too. The two main narrators made this circus Olay act, even more entertaining by being humorous. A great deal of times these two narrators made almost the whole crows grin and chuckle. For my family and me, we could not stop smirking or laughing the entire time. What else brought uniqueness to this performance is that they got people from the crowd involved in a couple instances. For example, about five people from the audience were asked to throw rings in stage and make it around an elf’s neck, which was entertaining to watch. Overall, you could see the enthusiasm watching this performance, and can tell that the staff loves their job; Borealis is something I would go to
For a tradition as storied and fantasied of as Mardi Gras, an encyclopedic account of its origins and traditions has long been overdue. Such an account is provided within the new book Carnival in Louisiana: Celebrating Mardi Gras from the French Quarter to the Red River, written by Brian Costello. The work is an impressive feat of research and storytelling that it is imbued with a deep spirit of love and excitement for the celebratory nature of Carnival. In the course of the 198 pages, Costello takes the reader through the multiple cultural landscapes of Louisiana, exploring the unique customs associated with each community's festivities. Costello’s achievement is a book of encyclopedic depth that is continuously exciting and enriching for
The production ‘Chores´ had a fantastic impact on the audience. It successfully covered all elements of drama into the production
Buddy is the lead character in the play Elf, I attended the Wednesday on November 18 at 7:30PM. I must admit that I had a magnificent experience, and got way more than I bargained for Not only was the play wonderfully executed, but Buddy was absolutely flawless from my perspective as an audience member. On top of filling the character physical attributes, the character who played Buddy was exceptional in areas such as bearing a strong presence, being able to control his voice, his arrivals and dismissals on stage, his motivation to believe he was buddy the elf, being able to adjust development of the character during the play, and accustomed to the environment he was preforming in. All of these different facets enticed the audience to infiltrate
The set was simple, and it had a lot old fashion furniture that you don't see that much unless you have grandparent that still have old style furniture. The theater was small and minimalistic and help the audience feel closer the
The actors’ portrayal of residents of Newtown as well as the use of the stage are what really engaged me as an audience member. I attended they play at The Human Race Theater Company on February 3rd. I had never been to this theater so I really had no expectations of it. The cast’s ability to really make the audience feel like he or she is actually in Newtown during the aftermath of the shooting is what really engages them.
This play does just that. It looks deeper than just an entertaining night at the theatre it encourages conversation and debate. It forces people to discuss the uncomfortable topics and increases understanding of unfamiliar situations. I watched the audience cringe and become uncomfortable, I saw the characters bring us together and tear us apart, but most of all I felt a connection, an understanding with my fellow audience members when we all walked out together still saddens by the events that had taken place. If your are looking for an intriguing night filled with a roller coaster of emotion that leads to a deeper understand of your fellow humans than this is the show for
Congratulations to the cast, crew and artistic team of The Addams Family for our outstanding production. We sold over 1,800 tickets selling out 4 of our 6 performances making it one of the most successful productions at Seattle Prep. The audiences just loved this quirky, yet touching musical based on the cartoon characters of Charles Addams. We want to thank everyone who came to support the show. Our next production is the annual Festival of One Act Plays during Arts Week in May.
Everyone agreed. We could not think of what else we could do and were bored because we did not go trick-or-treating this
I attended the Student Jazz Concert at the Bruce Owen Theatre located on the campus of OCCC on October 17, 2017. The group that was performing consisted of students from the Southeast High School and OCCC. I decided to attend this concert from the recommendation of my teacher, Professor Boyle. He had mentioned to the class that it would be a wonderful jazz concert and would be worth our wild to attend. He also offered extra credit points to attend, so this helped in many students decision to attend.
As matter of fact, the actors at some points are out in the audience, which makes for a kind of unique experience; things like lighting cues, set pieces just kind of spice it up. I think people will recognize the touch TJ theatre puts on

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.
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
Most people never would consider Centre, Alabama, a small sleepy Southern town with a laid back atmosphere that could put an incurable insomniac to sleep, home to a thriving community theatre. Theatre Centre provides entertainment, wonder, dread, and happiness for all who witness it. I have loved and adored the theatre ever since I was a small child, performing in every play I could. Standing on stage fills me with a sense of pride and happiness that can be found nowhere else in the world. I love theatre, and even though the theatre I love more than any other thrives in a small town in Alabama, I still have a wonderful experience every time I go.
