Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is the first live play I have ever attended. I did not know what to anticipate, especially after hearing numerous accidents occurred during rehearsals. I was a bit skeptical about it. However when the play began, the on-point accents, the rowdy fight scenes, and their fluent moves all caught my attention. The facial expressions the actors and actresses exhibited on their glowing faces made the show enjoyable. The play was very silly, but it also had its deeper moments. For example, when Gideon went to bring Adam back from the mountains. They had a tense moment, where Gideon stood up to Adam and punched him on the face— something no other brother would have done. All was complemented by the live band that played in the background and lights …show more content…
The designs, lighting, sound, makeup, and music of the play are as crucial as the play itself. The people who put the production together work just as hard as those who make the play come to life. Without production elements, the play may not obtain the intended impact than with it. Each production element has its own objective as do the actors of the play. For Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, the production element that caught my attention out of all other elements were the costumes. At first, I did not think much of it until I made the connection why that production element was made. Each brother had a certain color that pertained to them, which also pertained to the girl they would soon fall in love with. Adam wore red, which then matched Milly; Benjamin wore yellow, matching with Dorcas; Gideon wore green matching with Alice; Frank wore pink, which matched with Sarah; Daniel wore orange, matching with Liza; Caleb marries Ruth; and Ephraim, wore blue which matched with Martha. The production

Even though none of Janie’s three marriages were perfect, I noticed that her third husband, Tea Cake, was the finest husband that Janie had throughout her lifetime. I can to this realization when Janie mentioned in the book that Tea Cake was her real first love. Throughout their twelve years of marriage, Tea Cake taught her to find ultimate happiness and understanding in herself.. Whereas Logan treated her like a pet and Jody silenced her, Tea Cake encouraged her personality and introduced her to new skills and experiences.
The performers did an excellent job acting out the parts they were assigned. In the beginning of the first act, I made a note of them being very rocky in the beginning and only acting with their body language and not much with their emotions, but once they got more comfortable on stage they brought the characters to life. The main actor, Chaz Pitman, who played the role as Ben, impressed me the most because he was both the main actor and the director of the play. His acting was very believable and at the end when he was having a mental breakdown, I shed a few tears due to how convincing he made it seem. Jeeter and Salyer, who were played by Hal Greer and Kat Lys were the other two actors who captivated my attention.
the plot, character, theme, language, rhythm and spectacle . Though ranked as the least important element of theatre , spectacle comprises everything that is heard and seen in a play which greatly contributes to the enjoyment of the audience.

but since it was free, I never found myself regretting the three to five dollars that unprivileged folk had to pay. Secondly, I went into Seven Brides for Seven Brothers { SBSB (aren’t you glad it isn’t called Brides, count of Seven, for Brothers, also count of Seven?)} expecting a, what do you know, god offal play, due to a previous god offal play performed by the Conway group. ANOTHER biast point, I had a few friends in the play so I might
The text belongs to a novel called The Planter’s Northern Bride, written in 1854 by Caroline Lee Hentz. It describes the first time that Eulalia, the daughter of an abolitionist, visits her husband’s plantation in the South. Race is one of the most important topics of the text. Taking in consideration the fact that this novel was written almost a hundred years ago and before the American Civil War, it is not surprising to see the way that African Americans are depicted in the excerpt. Therefore, racism and slavery are very present in Eulalia’ s train of thoughts.

Director P.J. Hogan incorporated the idea of; self-esteem and friendship, Corruption and family.

Conveying a story about love but not traditional romance, The Princess Bride incorporates a frame tale, which is a technique of putting a story within a story. The frame tale separates the outer frame from the inner frame of the story. The Princess Bride is far more than just a story; its frame tale explicitly portrays the main message of the story: generational love and the love of family. The first indication is revealed with this idea of generational love in the selection of the protagonist. The protagonist, the grandson, is the only character to experience any form of meaningful character change.

Endurance is one of the most importants traits in The Princess Bride.
I went to the play, “The Adams Family” at the Terrance Plaza Playhouse in ogden. I really enjoye going to it. I enjoyed the play “The Adams Family I had not ever seen the adams family and knew nothing about it other than their one main song. The theater there may no thave been huge but it was not hard at all to hear them clearly and I liked that to.
so maybe I missed a few changes but then that means they did an excellent job. Moving on to the sound designer, the job of providing realism to the theatre was met. Before the play even started there was an offstage battle going on. You knew it was a battle because there was shouting, gun shots and clashing of weapons.
I’m not going to lie, I found this production confusing and did not truly understand what was going on, but maybe the true meaning of this production was up to audience for interpretation. This factor led the production to be appropriate for the audience. With this creative freedom it creates a great play for anyone, because the person is responsible for what they learn from the production. Therefore, there is no specific meaning other than the one the audience member creates for themselves. It is more of a “what do you believe was going on?”
These are so significant to understanding the work, that a reader of this script can recognize them, even if he or she has never seen a production of A Doll’s House. This story could not be conveyed properly without including the significant examples of spectacle in a production. According to Aristotle, there are six elements of drama. In simplest terms, they are referred to as plot, character, diction, music, thought, and spectacle.
Not only was it entertaining but, it gave the work an interpretation that I wouldn’t have gotten if I had only read the play. Being in the same room as the actors and being apart of the audience really gave the story a rich meaning. For example, I laughed with the actors and audience in the show when the jester was teasing the other characters. Experiencing laughter in that atmosphere really gave life to the words that they were saying. Comparing this to watching a recorded piece, it would be completely different because you wouldn’t be able to participate in the emotional aspect of the play with
The casting of this production was perfect. My friends and I did not know high school students were capable of acting that well. The facial expressions went perfectly with their tone of voice and their movements. Not once did the audience see an actor break character. Each cast member appeared as if they knew their character so well, they could improvise and still keep the show going without the audience even noticing.
