A Delightful Quarantine is a play written by Mark Dunn. This play is a dramatic comedy with 7 different story lines. In the beginning of the story the town is invaded by aliens. The aliens were going to be there for 3 days, and within those 3 days the community was under sudden housebound. In the play ADQ a mother who connects once again with the daughter she put up for adoption many years ago. A man with a weird problem of wearing girl clothes that turns around his marriage. A woman who just so happens to have 14 cats that are all invisible and her first ever date that is allergic to cats gets stuck with her.

Two young crazy little girls are stuck in the house for three days. Lastly A brother who has a sister with cancer, and he just wants her to be happy. In this play there was many humorous scenes in these households.

In ADQ I had many positives about the play and a few negatives.

My favorite actor was definitely the robber Noah Tibbets. The robber was my favorite actor because first off it is a very cool role. 2nd his facial expressions, acting, and attitude toward his role was very good at all times. The actors got the intended result they needed by setting the mood right there attitudes and the way they acted, like at happy moments they had very expressive facial expressions like smiling or just the right face for whatever may have been the mood. They spoke in the calming tone at sad or laid back moments. Some things the actors did to make their performance satisfying was spoke in an appropriate tone for the role they were playing, walked as if they were that person, for example the old grandma talked and walked like a elderly women. She walked hunched over and very slow. The way she was talking was with a grumbling delayed voice. The actors couldn't have been improved on their acting skills in my opinion. They did a very good job making the mood, tone and every aspect a play needs well. Overall the actors were very successful at there

acting.

In ADQ the costume and the technical aspects were very marvelous.

The costume of Summer Thornton (Mavis Jemco) very spot on. They match outfits old people wear in real life. The pants and shoes really made the whole costume perfect. Most elderly women wear khaki pants with the new balance Tennis Shoes. Noah Tibbets or Tug Goff the robber had a very thoughtful costume. The beard of noah tibbets gave it the extra advantage. All black clothing with a hat made him look like a crook. The next costume that was vigorous was Grace Soens. Her costume was a unique fine piece of art that matched perfectly. She was playing the cat lady that had her first date. She looked like a cat lady, one reason was because of her blouse like item she was wearing. This costume adds to the character because of how the hair was down and it overall made her look like a cat lady. The most interesting thing was the fact that they found a way to come up with some of the costume ideas, like the beard on Noah Tibbits. What was the beard made, of what made them think of this that's is what I found interesting. A technical aspect I found that made a big difference on the play was the lighting. The lighting made it more individualized in certain scenes. When there was a phone call the lights were only around the two households that were involved in the phone call, there was no lighting anywhere else which made the mood, and set at the time

realistic.

I would recommend seeing this play here at Waterford Union high school. I would recommend seeing this because of the how professional they seemed they may not be considered professionals because they are just in highschool, but they did a very fine job acting. The timing in the play was spot on. Every thing they did in the play was done at the correct time. Like the lighting, special music, and reactions of the actors. I would recommend this play because it was very engaging to me as an audience member, and a very humorous play.

The moment I walked in the theater I didn't know how good the play was going to be. But when the play started I knew it was going to be good. They captured my attention by their enthusiastic attitude. The attitude where you could tell they were eager to begin the play. I liked how much hard work and dedication they showed on that stage. They didn't just want to have a mediocre play they wanted to have us walking out of the theater so satisfied that I would want to go watch it again. I really liked this play and I would watch it again.
