One Acts

So I went to the One Act Plays this past tuesday evening and I really enjoyed myself. The humor and the quality of the acting was better than expected. My favorite was probably the first one the Ugly Duckling due to the quality of the acting and the humor that was displayed on each and every line. It's hard to believe that this is the last week of classes before finals and I have to say that I'm really going to miss this class. See ya guys in class today
Like everyone else, I really enjoyed the One Acts. It's too bad they don't do them in the fall too; I would definitely go to them if they did. Now that I have seen these I'm going to try to make it to next year's too. They really were quite funny and I thought pretty much everyone did a good job. Like Amanda, I also did not really like the smoking. I understand it fits with the characters and stuff, but I kind of got distracted by it. It pulled me away from the story a little bit because I was a little surprised they were doing it. Other than that though I really liked them.

So I enjoyed the one act plays i believe as I previously mentioned but then I started to write my paper and one thing really stuck out to me. I did not like the smoking and it kind of almost ruined it for me. I am very sensitive to that stuff and i can't stand being around it and I didn't like feeling trapped in a huge cloud of smoke. I thought it was kinda rude of those students to subject their audience to that kind of atmosphere. I didn't feel like it added anything to the play either. I felt like I would have enjoyed that act more without it. I was so concerned with trying to breathe that looking back, I don't even remember what that act was about when I can pretty much tell you in great detail about the other three. I wish that they would have been more sensitive to the audience before they made the decision to include the smoking.
I really enjoyed the one act plays. Springfest was great!!! I love how the whole campus gets involved in some part of the activities. Unfortunately I did not get to participate in too many of them, because of track and my many other obligations that have consumed my life lately!!!!
I went to the One Act plays this past friday and really enjoyed them. I was sure I would even make it in because they were sold out but some people didn't show up so I lucked up. I appreciated the lighter mood of the plays a lot.

One-Act Play

I went to the One-Act Play on Tuesday and I thought it was quite different from what I have seen before and definitely different from Dead Man Walking. For me, it didn't feel like a formal performance probably because the audience was sitting very close to the actors and there was not any identified stage; the actors were using both the tiny elevated stage and the room floor for their stage. It felt more like class rather than actual performance. Although I didn't laugh very much and apparently it was supposed to be funny, I liked it. I think it was interesting.
The entering and exiting of a place has been really difficult. It is imperative for us to learn for our finals, but atleast for myself, its difficult. I think that if I had had a better idea for it, it would have been better. I felt like I needed to do something, but there really wasnt anything to do because I had just finished my exam.
