Theatre career!

If I had to pick a career in theatre I would pick an actor! I found this link that shows and explains what an actor is:

In order to pursue my dream in being an actor I would have to go to school for it, learn a whole bunch more about it, and then I would go from there. I learned a lot from this website, it was very helpful and such!

My personal responce to Rent!

I thought Rent was great! I think that it is considered a pivotal production because of the different language and because of how it takes place on the streets of New York! There is language and some different content! Conmpared to the movie I think that the show was better in some ways. Like I love Idina Menzel but I would have to say that in the play this Maureen was very good! On the other hand, I like Collins in the movie more than I liked actor in the play. Overall though, seeing it live was a lot better than just sitting down and watching it on t.v! I personally think that they show conveyed its message adequately. I talked to some people that were just completely against the show, but I personally loved it!

Rent history!

I found a site that explains Rent completely, especially the history!

http://www.siteforrent.com/abouttheshow/the-history-of-rent.html

I think that it is very helpful! While you are on that site you can look at pictures and read more about each person of the cast too!

Costume and make-up plot!

I know now what everyone is wearing and how everyone is going to look on stage during our performance. I think that it is going to be great. I am an ancestor and I love how we are on our own platform looking down at all of this. We are sitting on white blocks and we are wearing all white! It makes perfect since, we're in Heaven! I know that whenever I completely get into costume and make-up I really act like every rehearsal is a performance. I think that once we are in costume and make-up people will see what their character really is and they will understand a little bit more and not be kind of iffy.

Make-up time!

I found a great link that tells about the make-up for CATS!

Okay so this is a great site! It actually shows each characters individual make-up! I know for a fact that make-up will play a big role in this play. Just about everyone in this play is Chinese, but none of could pass as Chinese. So I think that we will need amzing make-up, and I know we can do it!

I have to wear what?

Performance, tech, make-up, props, and ect. In the two shows that we have aready seen all of these elements came together. I mean face it if we didn't have even one of these we would have no show. In Stomp The tech was a big thing and was not a big thing. There were mics everywhere around the stage. There had to be in order to pick up all of the noises made by the cast members. But,there was no music. At the very beginning before the show started; sure there were a couple songs played but think the only sounds we heard during the show were made by the people and their props. So tech never had to worry about puting tracks on and such. Same with costumes, those clothes that the actors were wearing I can guarentee came out of their own closets. Set I think was the most difficult. I mean it was very detailistic. In Peter Pan I know that the tech was more complicated then in Stomp. The set was okay, and the costumes were great. In Mulan Jr. we have great set, tech, and costumes. I think that now everything is starting to finally come together and i think that if we were missng one of these elements the show would be okay, but not great! The show will be amazing!

Peter Pan!

I thought that Peter pan was okay! What I liked about the play was that there was actually flying. What i didn't like about the play was that Tinkerbell was just a light. I would make Tinkerbell an actual person if I were the director. Throughout the play I heard many peoples microphones fuzzing and it was quite distracting. There could have been better technology, but I did like the play overall!
