The Great American Trailer Park Concert Report
On April 7, 2017, I viewed the musical production, “The Great American Trailer Park Musical.” The director of the musical was Jimm Cox. The set designer was Barry Whitfield. Rich Robinson was the lighting designer. The poster designer was Slade Mullinax. The production was held at the Performing Arts Center located on the University of South Carolina Upstate campus. The theme that I took from, “The Great American Trailer Park Musical,” was that certain people are put into one’s life for a reason. People always serve a purpose in one’s life. For example, Pippi was put in Jeannie’s life, ironically to reconnect with her son, Duke, due to a little sticky situation. Walking into the theater, I was quite shocked at how the stage was set up.

    As soon as I entered the theatre, it was completely packed. I also saw many people from different age groups; this gave me a feeling that the show would be entertaining enough to get people from all ages to come and see the show. The environment of the theatre was very formal, as there was a red and gold layout and it was also very clean.…

    The stage in the concert hall isn’t necessarily known for their ample space, but the cast and crew made the most of it in this masterpiece. The orchestra was strategically placed in the basement of the stage which I thought was interesting because I have not seen anything like that done before. Every other play I’ve attended had the orchestra on the side. With the orchestra barely visible in the basement area, the music felt real like it was just playing from thin air or like you would hear music in a movie. The main part of the stage was the pie/barbershop with the big box on the 2nd floor of the shop being able to access the first floor from there. To the very right was a small wooden balcony to represent the bedroom window of Todd’s daughter Johanna, whom Todd’s friend Anthony and the judge are madly in love with. For the sake of the screenplay no other stage setup was really needed except for a small rolling stage where Todd had a shaving contest with Signor Pirelli in the middle of the town square.…

    On August 13, 2011 roughly 12,000 people were awaiting a Sugarland Concert at the Grandstand Stage at the Indiana State Fairgrounds when a windstorm rolled through and collapsed the Grandstand Stage taking the lives of seven people and injuring nearly forty others. The audience was briefly warned to vacate the area in an event of a storm, however the warning was given only moments before the stage collapse and the audience had no time to evacuate (Crandall, Parnell & Spillan, 2013). Throughout the day and evening of the concert, the National Weather Service issued notices and warnings predicting strong thunderstorms. Messages about the forecasts were relayed to various State Fair personnel via an automated text-messaging system. Cindy Hoye,…

    The type of theatre that was used was a picture fame stage. The stage was fairly small but perfect for the production that was being put on. It was a simple theatre with a older look to it. The stage sat directly in front of the audience seating. The play space was also a little small but worked out great for the performance. The production was perfect the way it was setup.…

    On Saturday, February 27, I attended a concert choir that was presented by the Department of Music and College of Liberal Arts; the title of the program was From Darkness to Light. There were eight songs that were performed by the choir, all of which were accompanied by a piano. The first song was Sure on this Shining Night by Samuel Barber, which possessed a medium-paced tempo. Throughout the song, there was an equal distribution between the male and female voices. The change in dynamics was very clear to the audience. As the dynamics gradually grew louder, the males and females sang in synchronization. The second song was If ye love me by Thomas Tallis; the song had a medium-paced tempo, but there were a few moments in which the choir would speed up and slow down. The soprano members of the choir were able to hit very high notes throughout the song.…

    The designers of the play are Basil Jones, Adrian Kohler, and Rae Smith; they created beautiful sets and costumes. The setting was very beautifully shown, but it was very simple. The stage which had no curtain was empty, apart from a projection at the back which was shaped like a torn piece of paper. This was effective because they used the projection to tell the audience what time of day it was, what season it was, and the time period. The projection was also cleverly used to move the story forward. The atmosphere in the Theatre was dark and dusty, this was created by dim blue lighting and was effective because it created the mood and the bare stage invited the…

    Prior to what we believe to be the “Golden Era” of American Musical Theatre, one must first delve into the dark past modern musical theatre tries to bury beneath today’s jazz hands and glitter covered performers. The era of the Virginia Minstrel shows not only is derogatory towards African American slaves and recently freed slaves with the use of stock characters, but it uses exaggerated stereotypes and costuming to create the illusion that the African American race is inferior to Caucasians.…

During the concert, the band played Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4, William Tell Overture, and Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique. The music was excellent and played with much expertise. Each piece was performed well. I enjoyed listening to the extravagant music with very few mistakes.…

    American Musical Theater is something most Americans enjoy today, musicals such as West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, Jersey Boys, Wicked and Into the Woods. These are all some examples that have made it big in today’s society. These musicals didn’t appear out of nowhere though and neither did American Musical Theater, nor was the theater the same when it started as it is today. The American Musical Theater has evolved from its simple beginnings into it’s own genre in today's society through the help of diverse composers, writers and actors, along with cultural contributions.…

    When one attends a performance, particularly a play, she expects to be sitting fairly far away from the main stage (unless this patron has especially good tickets). The scenery is usually nice but distant and sometimes partially obscured by the heads of the people sitting in the closer rows. This was not the case at the performance of No Place to Be Somebody in the Pavilion Theatre. Yes, credit can be partially given to the architects who designed the theatre, but even more credit should be given to Kristin Brian, the scenic director of the show. The audience of the show surrounded the stage, 360° and felt like they too were characters in the production. The scenery was plain, dark, and pretty simple but it captured the essence of a dim, New York City bar, to the tee. The props mainly consisted of a few wooden tables and other bar-like accessories which could have easily bored fans of elaborate Broadway shows, but in this case, the…
