Theatre had been a huge part of my life the past two years. It was introduced to me my junior year and I fell in love. I love the adrenalin rush I get right befor stepping on stage and because of theatre I am more likely to step out of my comfort zone. It has also helped me strengthen my time management skills and it continues to help me meet new people.
I got into theatre my Junior year and It has changed my life. It has helped me be more outgoing and given me the confidence to do things like try out and make the cheer team. Theatre has also opened me up to a whole new group of people I would never have met without it. I do community theatre in Wellington which is roughly 30 minutes away from my hometown. I have made a whole new group of friends. My friend Chloe had been and plays for years and one day she approached me and who

It was a mix between the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. I played the March Hare and Chloe played the Mad hatter. The casting for this play was perfect we all matched our characters so well. This play is my favorite so far. Though at the beginning, it was stressful because practice for this musical overlapped with Blazing Guns at Roaring Gulch. I was at rehearsal pretty much every day between the two. Though it was hot in the auditorium because it was the middle of summer and the air conditioner went out we still had a lot of people come to see the show. Right now I am in the middle of the musical The Little Mermaid in Wellington and we just got the cast list for our next school play The Legend Of Robin Hood...Sort Of. In The Little Mermaid I am playing the mersister Andrina, A Chief and A Sea Creature. Practices are a little stressful at the moment because we had 4 actors, our music coach and 1 director dropout but I know we will put on a good production anyway. In The Legend Of Robin Hood...Sort Of I am cast as Friar Tuck and King Richard between the two parts I have 115
Even if I didn’t make it, I don’t think anyone realizes what you learn when training in this profession. Musical theatre has allowed me to step up, commit to my work, become more confident and to have fun! You learn to become focused and pay more attention to detail. Building sets, reading scenes and learning music betters your communication and listening skills. All of these skills I have acquired over the last few years and I they are still helping me to grow. I think my biggest take away from this past summer is to become more confident as a person and in my work. Confidence is a big part of doing musical theatre. Some people having no confidence or a little too much. Trying to gain confidence has made me appreciate my body, the little things and what I do. I have already had many people come up to me at school and tell me that they’re loving my new glow confidence and love for myself. Overall, I see why people doubt the career, but they only consider the outside results. Musical theatre has made me the person I am today and I will never forget
When I went, I had gotten there just in time. There were three women there that had an extra ticket, and to top it off their tickets/seats were in the front row center. So I had a very good view. As I sat down, I noticed on the stage one of the actors. He was Jack for "Jack in the Bean Stalk." Jack is one of the teachers at Ursuline Academy, Dale Mason. He was not my teacher, but I did know him. I thought that that was pretty cool.
The reason I find theatre to be so meaningful is because you get to encounter many different people that you would never actually think to associate with. Theatre is a place where everyone can be who they want to be, even if you are not performing on the stage. It doesn't matter if I have the talent to be on stage or organize props, I'm still a part of something.
It’s a very rewarding feeling knowing you’ve helped someone who has been really struggling, and knowing that they trust you with their problems and that they know they can rely on you for assistance when they need it. Being involved with the musicals is some of the most fun i’ve had in my highschool career. I’ve always tried out for the highschool musical and always gotten a part, and just last year I helped the backstage crew of the middle school musical. Just being a part of it is what I like the most, being a single part in an entire production, and i’m the person who was best fit for that specific part. It makes me feel unique and different knowing that I was picked for that certain part. Last year I got my first actual lead as the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard Of Oz. It had to have been the greatest experience of my life, I read my script any chance I could because I wanted to make this the best performance I have ever done, and I feel like I had
The Mundelein High School auditorium has staged more than 100 plays, musicals, and concerts. It just so happens to be that the school’s auditorium is my happy place. Mundelein High School’s theatre is where I feel content because: its history is rich, I’ve accomplished many things there, and those accomplishments have changed my life in extraordinary ways.
1. My first observation was the set. Upon walking into the theatre, a red couch and white table was placed on the far right on the stage. Adjacent from the audience stood a big platform. Each setting of the play was projected onto this wall.
Theatre-In-Education The theatre education industry/movement has seen some rapid changes since its initial developments and establishment in the 1960’s. However its origins mainly lie in the early years of the last century. It was the initial establishment of companies such as Bertha Waddell’s in Scotland and Esme Church’s in the north of England that thoroughly established the main roots of TIE.
While the process is rigorous, it is very enjoyable and worthwhile. First we would discuss the play, and then we would read through the camp’s abridged version of it that we would be performing. Throughout the first week we would practice scenes and monologues from the play, discussing the characters and the plot. The directors would observe us act out scenes with each other and perform monologues. At the end of the week we would write down the three characters we most wanted to play, and the directors would take all of those choices into consideration and try to cast us based on our own desires and what they would think was best for each of us to play. I was given the part of Pistol, the clownish friend of the central character, John Falstaff. We had received our roles, and next week we were to start rehearsing the play as those characters.
Teachers arguably have one of the most important and influential job anyone can have. In their hands is the ability to shape the future. Mark Van Doren, an American poet and writer, once said that “the art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.” Teachers bestow upon youth the proper learning devices and tools they will continue to use throughout the entirety of their lives. Why is it then quotes such as “those who can, do; those who can’t, teach” come about? Though teachers are not held on the same pedestal as brain surgeons and rockets scientists, they are still deserving of appreciation for the many challenges that arise with their career. Education, theatre education in specific, is a problematic career choice due to the scarcity of jobs, poor funding, and the comprehensive process one must go
Theater has been the driving passion in my life since I was 10 years old. The amazing thing about my love for theater, however, is that it allows me to volunteer and be active in my community. While I love doing community service like Feeding South Dakota or Project Warm Up with the Serve and Learn Student Association at my school, the most rewarding type of community service always stems from being able to use your personal strengths and talents to the benefit of the community.
In this paper, I will be focusing briefly on my knowledge and understanding of the concept of Applied theatre and one of its theatre form, which is Theatre in Education. The term Applied Theatre is a broad range of dramatic activity carried out by a crowd of diverse bodies and groups.
For as long as humankind exists, theatre will always take on an important function within its cultures. Through theatre, a culture expresses itself, reflects its society, and displays its individuality. It invites people to experience other cultures.

Theatre, consider to be a place where something is seen, is a place where plays emerged from. Plays from ancient times have been performed in theatrical settings and so do the plays from modern era. Without theatre plays would have never had the impacts that it has in our society today. Many writers such as William Shakespeare have influenced the way we look at modern entertainment. Theatre is very interesting because it requires a space to act, a space to watch and to hear.
For thousands of years, people have been arguing that theatre is a dying art form. Many people think theatre is all just cheesy singing and dancing or just boring old Shakespeare, but there is much more to theatre than those two extremes. Theatre is important to our society because it teaches us more about real life than recorded media. Theatre has been around for thousands of years and began as a religious ceremony that evolved into an art form that teaches about the true essence of life. Theatre can incorporate profound, and provocative, observations of the human condition that can transcend time; lessons found in Greek plays can still be relevant to the modern world. People argue that the very essence of theatre is being snuffed out by modern
