Recommended: Important of theatre

I had done two shows before, in 3rd and 4th grade, but they were never as good or as professional as GREAT Theatre’s shows. I hadn’t really heard of GREAT Theatre before my friend Brianna asked me to audition for The Hobbit with her in 5th grade. It was exciting to audition for my first big show, and it made me remember how much fun I had had the last two years’ plays. When the cast list was posted, I carefully scanned the list looking for my name, which I didn’t find. I was devastated when I didn't get in so I tried again, and again, and again. I just could not get into a show, and that made me even more determined to get into the next one: Charlotte’s Web. When I auditioned for this show, I tried my best to be the best; I spoke with volume,

  • Personal Narrative: A Career As A Long-Term Career Option

    260 Words  | 1 Pages

    This career option as an assessment employer for the child protective services could possibly be a long-term career option. Although, I do not believe I would want this as my long-term career goal. Choosing to work directly out of college would also allow myself to gain experience within the field which would improve the possibility of getting a better job or getting into graduate school. If I was hired and I did accept the position within five years my goal would be to continue working while attending school to further mu education. I would continue to work to gain more experience as well as helping me get through school by paying off my tuition. I would not leave this job until I graduate and had another job lined up.

  • Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Writer

    How does an artist create a painting? He or she cannot simply look at a canvas and a picture appear. The artist must be equipped with proper tools to create a masterpiece: paint and brushes. The same can be said about writers. Writers are not born with the knowledge of writing an attractive paper. They must be given tools of writing and shown how to utilize them. Artists and writers without proper tools will be nothing more than blank canvases and empty pages. I used to be a blank canvas, but a teacher gave me the tools I needed, and now I am a polished portrait.

  • Personal Narrative: What Is Play

    On March 24, 2016 I attended an American Hockey League (AHL) game at the Quicken Loans Arena between the Lake Erie Monsters and the Rockford IceHogs. To get to the game, I had to meet my good friends parents for the first time because we were taking their car up to Cleveland. Ironically, this process felt almost ritualistic, because even though my friend was a female and not a romantic interest, I still conducted my usual nervous preparation for meeting her parents. Aside from this encounter, the game really brought to life the discussion our class had regarding “what is play,” these last few weeks. To start, the game commenced after the players, coaches and trainers took the ice for the singing of the National Anthem. In regards to the frame

  • Children In Broadway

    The point of this investigation is to determine whether landing a role on the West End or Broadway is an opportunity of a lifetime for a young performer. Children have been performing in shows for hundreds of years but with today's society and competitiveness the stakes are even higher to be a starring name in theatre. From musicals like ‘The King and I’ and ‘Sound of Music’ to ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and ‘Kinky Boots’ musical theatre has expanded. With the expansion of musical theatre, the type of performers has expanded too. Children are expected to be skilled a lot earlier in their careers and the standard of training is higher than it was 10 years ago.

  • Personal Narrative: 9th Grade Drama Class

    I first met “T” when I was placed into the same group as him in ninth grade drama class. I believe the teacher was trying to allow for diverse groups, leading to diverse opinions. My school was majority white, farm children, and T was no exception. Our group contained 5 people, including myself and T, and we had to create a script about teenage pregnancy. I always attempt to give everyone I meet a fair first-impression, but T decided to use this first meeting to complain about the groups and the content of the class. The rest of us worked diligently and co-operatively while T continued to either be on him phone or out for a “smoke-break”. T was an obvious sharp contrast next to the rest of the group.

    Every summer I participate in the Musical through our local Parks and Recreation program, and last year the musical was Beauty and the Beast. At first I was apprehensive because this was a musical with few female roles, and our theater department had a plethora of talented female actors. Regardless, I was excited to perform with my friends because my opportunities to perform before I went to college were shrinking. The audition was relaxed, and I even got a callback the next day. The only problem was I had to fly out to Nashville the same day, so I finished my callback and rushed myself to the Kansas City Airport. The cast list was scheduled to come out that evening, and I was receiving anxious texts from my fellow actors. As the plane was

These challenges could be seen to some as a downside to pursuing a career in theatre, but for me, conquering these challenges makes the job extremely satisfying and my dream career.I became intrigued in theatre production as I love working out how things are done behind the scenes, the first time I really thought about pursuing backstage work was whilst watching Cirque Du soliel at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The hustle of the crew and backstage atmosphere could be seen from my seat and I became fixated on what was going on out of sight underneath the polished productions that I witnessed in the West End.

    Senior year arrived, and I hoped to earn a part for my last high school production. I auditioned, but I didn’t feel as confident as I have in the past. As I left my audition, I told my parents, “I didn’t do well trying out for the lead. I couldn’t figure out what kind of personality to use because the character is so dynamic and has no distinct traits.” Yet again, my mom cheered me up, telling me how much she loved me and how it would not be the end of the world if I did not get a part.
