How Children Could Save The World By Lauren Gunderson Summary

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

Aristotle wrote The Poetics in 335 BCE and in them he stated the elements that he believed made great theatre. He wrote that the ultimate goal of theatre is for the audience to have some sort of catharsis at the end. This to me is one of the few things that still rings extremely true from The Poetics, which with the advent of modern theatre have become a bit obsolete. Catharsis on the other hand, will never become obsolete, because everyone at some point needs to release their pent up emotions. That is the exact reason I got into theatre, because I want to be able to give someone that catharsis, however, what I wasn’t expecting was to be able to have many cathartic experiences

They are the people who come to see movies and theatre, because that’s where they can release everything that has been building up all day, all week, all month. They are the people who let theatre and film exists, because if these people didn’t buy tickets, the performing arts wouldn’t exist. These people allow me to do work that I absolutely love doing, and as a fringe benefit I get to watch amazing actors do amazing work everyday. When you watch scene so many times and you see the work improve and become so much more real the catharsis that comes out of it is just so much more great. I feel like the fact that for me theatre is a hands on experience, building the sets, finding costumes, running line, makes the catharsis even more grand and more real.

They are a chance for people to put their issues aside and let themselves get captured in the world of the play. In a very specific sense, it is almost magical. I, myself, have been influenced by theatre. When attending plays in Chicago, or at the Krannert Center for Performing Arts, I am surprised at how captivated I become with the performance as a whole. Actors, who become the characters with their individual qualities, putting on plays as a strong ensemble is remarkable.

The theatre is a type of art, which was born from communication with the gods, rituals for various cults and to entertain people in their free time. Theatre was also the place where people got a political and social education, it was also used as a place of civic and philosophical debates and had functioned as a spiritual purification. They have been designed as temples of art and they were seeking to remove their audience from everyday concerns and to send them in some virtual reality but the function of the theatre since the early beginnings is to entertain people. Theatre brings stories and performances to amuse the public and with stories it brings pleasure. This makes it an important part of life for some people and for theatre to complete its purpose, it needs space.

“Like her famous grandfather, Yolanda Renee King is making a difference—and she thinks you can too. " The nonfiction passages written by Allison Friedman from Storworks (March-April 2021 edition), “Dr. King is my grandpa” and These kids are changing the world,” shows different ways kids are changing the world. These kids had to overcome many challenges before they could reach their goals. As evidenced by these articles, kids can make a difference in the world because they can speak out to local leaders, they can protest about climate change, and they can fight for people’s rights. To start, kids can change the world by stopping ocean pollution.

Theatre has taught me that without stories, we 'd live in a world full of unknown thoughts, but more specifically, lighting has opened me up to a new world where theatre is the only thing present. It has taught me to be that I am knowledgable, artistic, and most importantly, good

I never thought I would be interested in Musical Theater. To me, it was all just unrealistic, jovial people inexplicably singing and dancing. In the seventh grade, my best friend conned me into joining a local production of Beauty and the Beast. From that moment on, I loved musical theater. The first broadway musical I ever saw was Les Miserables.

I 've always been fascinated by the art of telling stories. The main reason I 'm passionate about musical theatre is that I find it to be one of the best ways to tell stories. The combination of music and acting creates for me something that no other form of art form can create. The more musicals I watch the more I find how interesting, innovative this combination can be, and the more I feel a burning need to be a part of it.

It made me want to be on stage more and it even made me more confident to be on stage. Not only did it help me become more confident, I actually started to feel like a part of the drama club family. The drama club family is very supportive of each other and we all get along. We all care about the same thing, the theatre. We all pitch in to help, whether its cleaning and organizing the Green room, cleaning up the auditorium, or cleaning the stage.

To add on, some people might say “theater is not a necessity in life”. So what? Theater just gets taken away, which is too heartbreaking to understand when it’s not within people’s grasps. Theater might not be an essential for survival, but the importance of this argument is that it can improve in the educational system. And isn’t that what it is all about?

I enjoy doing musical theatre because I love it and can’t imagine myself doing anything else. I hope to inspire and touch people with my storytelling. It would be a great honor to make it to Broadway someday but that 's not what it is all about for me, it

James Burbage built the first everlasting theatre in London called, “The Theatre” in 1576 (Narey). Burbage and his employers were obligated to create an acceptable and satisfactory theatre during the Elizabethan era (Lawrence). There were two different theatres, one known as private, and there other was public. If the theatre was private, it was enclosed, and if public it was outside. Both theatre’s heightened the appeal of drama.

Because of theater, I now have something to keep me busy, something to keep me motivated to keep my grades up. Not only have I found a hobby and motivation, I have also found great friends I can call a family. Choosing this path when my road diverged, during eighth grade, has definitely boosted my personality and my courage. After everything I've experienced, I finally understand what Shakespeare meant by “All the world’s a stage.” I didn’t need to be on stage to understand the meaning of that Shakespeare quote.

The role of a Stage Manager is to coordinate with nearly everyone involved in the production. This means communicating with the actors, dancers, all technicians, set designers and even the front of house and the director. For example, the stage manager will have to speak to the set designers to understand the idea for the setting, then they will have to talk about the time in which it will take to make it all and if it will suit the choreography. One very important role that a Stage Manager has to take on, is to make sure the directors vision and needs are met for the production. This also involves arranging fittings and rehearsal schedules.
