My Theatre Progression
As an extremely determined and proactive person, I tend to submerge myself in any project or extracurricular activity I possibly can. I am prepared for this type of experience because I love musical theatre and I am determined to be the best I can possibly be. I am completely willing to work as hard as I need to so I can learn as much as I need to. Having ventured through a plethora of roles, ranging from my first lead at 11 years old, to numerous ensemble and dancing roles, I have become seasoned in the art in my short 16 years of life. No matter what role, I know that performing is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Since a young age, I have been a part of numerous productions that was mostly adults. Being in these productions forced me to see the world of theatre through a more mature point of view. I feel prepared for this unique experience because of my ambition and my love for the art. Being onstage gives me a thrill like nothing else, and the stage is my home. Aside from being onstage, I love to work behind the scenes. I feel if I participate in the theatre in all aspects, that will give me a greater understanding and appreciation for it. I stage managed for the first time when I was 13 years old, I worked the soundboard at 12,and I have volunteered to usher at numerous shows. Seeing all of the hard work that every single person puts into a production deepens my love for the art. …show more content…
I am prepared for this experience because I am ready and excited to enter an environment where my passion can be considered a career, and I am ready to be around other teenagers who share this

    The Wellesley-Brandeis Orchestra Review Essay

    I am inspired by those that act because the actors are challenging themselves and playing a role that they had most likely never played before. As the audience, I am absorbed into the characters’ world and how the little mannerisms of each character complete the play as a whole. I am an absolute fanatic for theatrical performances, whether it be a play, musical, or dance. I think that performers have to express themselves effortlessly, unbeknownst to the audience. By experiencing it firsthand through pit orchestra, I was fully able to appreciate how much time was put into the preparation of of a performance. As a student at Wellesley, I will be frequenting the musicals and plays performed by the theater because the fine arts is what fuels my imagination. Also through participating in pit, I learned that many, many hours are put into creating a fantastic, emotion-wrought performance. It is not just the actors that create the atmosphere, it is also the musicians. Along with the actors and possibly the music, there are more people that put the time into making the play “perfect”, something that the audience usually does not know or does not see. For this reason, I am very excited to learn that there is a theater (aka a place to watch plays/musicals/perform as a pit member) because whether I…

    Behind Closed Door Play Analysis

    The play that my group and I read and presented was Behind Closed Doors, a play with the concept of, Tragedy in your past can affect your present if you do not let go and move on. The role I played was the director, which is a role in the theater, that’s very much so unappreciated. The purpose of the presentation project was to actually understand, hands on, what it takes to produce a Theatre play, and what the jobs and elements are to do so. In theatre, communication is key. Every job works in harmony with one another, and they all need each other to put on an incredible show.…

    Damn Fever Monologue

    However, the performer is responsible for bringing that to life. The performer is receptive of artistic and expressive interpretations. A simple tap move with a four bar count can motivate others to create a dozen different expressive variations. When I finally performed on stage, I outpoured my excitement and uneasiness on that stage. I cherished every minute of it. I imagined objects, feelings, and people in my mind as I performed for Rosie’s Theatre Kids. I was no longer rehearsing for a singular performance. I realized I was rehearsing for life. The lessons learned on this journey helped mature and facilitate my transition into a confident young…

    In the last four years, I was able to volunteer in different areas of the acting field to enhance my interests. I have had the opportunity to play the lead role in “Alice in Wonderland”, “Les Miserables”, “Of Mice and Men”, and “Wicked”. I was awarded the actress of the year for performing the lead role in the “Beauty and the Beast” musical in the theatre program. Last winter, I got the chance to explore many acting industries in New York and be a part of the supporting cast in the “Grease” musical at the Broadway show. I was able to communicate with many managers and performers and gain significant information about Broadway and other aspects of the acting industry. Moreover, I also run a private dance academy where various forms of dances are performed including ballet, hip hop, belly dance, tango, and salsa. There are more than hundred students and we have performed in more than fifteen different states for competitions…

    Personal Narrative: Mrs. Winthrop In The Secret Garden

    I got a glimpse of the Gilford High School drama department my freshman year by doing hair for A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and fell in love. I wanted so badly to be more of a part of it all, but after Christmas I ended up in Laconia for the remainder of the year. Sophomore year I came back to Gilford and was in the production of West Side Story that fall. In the spring I teched, as props manager, for Eurydice and All in the Timing. My junior year, I performed in A Chorus Line. Then that spring I teched for Epic Proportions. Now in the beginning of the third month into my senior I am about to perform in one of my last shows here at Gilford. I was cast as Mrs. Winthrop in The Secret Garden.

    The world has changed in many ways since Shakespear was living. That is because we have had new ideas, new inventions, and we have changed in how we do almost everything. Some of the main ways the world has changed is the way the audience acts at a play, how we are treated by our social status, and how the theaters looked and what went on inside of the theater.…

    Quincy Public School Community Analysis

    A local theatre company pitched in to help repair our school’s stage, making it safe, functional and fun. Going to the symphony and performing on stage when I was young contributed to my passion for the performing arts. Last year, I performed in close to fifty choral, musical and theatrical events in my community and in Boston. I want to share my love of musical theatre with more students as well as the seniors in my community and am currently working with the director of the Boston Children’s Theatre and the principal of Quincy High School to ascertain whether it can be a satellite location for their summer studios. Bringing a well regarded performing arts program into the community will help more children acquire additional skills like creativity, confidence, problem solving, perseverance, focus, collaboration, and receiving constructive feedback. Seniors will be able to attend local theatre…

Being a part of something so exciting and bursting with energy is one of the many things that make me happy, so I’m willing to work as hard as it takes to get me where I know I need to be.…

    High School Theatre Observation

    I started theatre in sixth grade, when I was in the ensemble of the Music Man at CAST Summer. From there, I gradually became more interested and I started auditioning for every play season. When I got to OPRF, the stakes exponentially grew. We had kids coming in from BRAVO, Ovation academy, all highly prestigious youth theaters in Oak Park. Acting became less of a pastime for me and more a defining way of life at OPRF. This year, I was lucky enough to get cast in a play, a feat I told myself I could never accomplish.…

    Theater Arts Final Essay

    There are several ways to portray a group of people and have the public believe it. Probably the most influential way to affect a person’s view on a certain group of people would be through film. Over the course of the past one hundred years, American film has subjected different groups of people to stereotyping, biased portrayals, and racism. However, these unfortunate stereotypes and the racism in film are quite covert to the public, and they tend to simply believe what they see in their favorite movies. Although there are several groups of people one can think of that have been stereotyped or attacked in some way in American film, there are a few specific groups that are prime examples of being victims to the biased portrayals in American film. These groups consist of women, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, and gays and lesbians. These groups have all been wrongly viewed by the nation’s public largely in part because of their portrayal in American film.…

    Tech Theatre College Essay

    Now a new challenge came as I had been given the duty of technical director, which meant I had to manage all the aspects of a theatrical production such as lighting the stage, researching sound effects, building sets, gathering and making props, designing and sewing costumes, publicizing the show and lastly managing the finances. The first meeting we had was with our director and what he wanted for our production. I could not fathom the responsibilities I just assumed. Timidly, I kept on looking down at my notepad and taking note after note, naive. Also, viewing the portfolio of previously designed shows, there was a superior standard I had to help every crew attain before we presented the show. Many of the sets that have been done before paid much attention to color, detail, proportions and the principles of flawlessness. I thought to myself, “I have quite a big challenge ahead of me.” After the run of the show, the gaze and awe of the audience members exclaiming that they had gone to a Broadway quality show, gives me the great sense of pride and joy that I had done my part of the work to give these people a good time.…
