Based on the theatrical performance you attended, you will write a summary of the

play, then respond to two of the following 8 topics or “prompts” as follows:
First prompt is chosen from prompts 1-6
Second prompt is chosen from prompts 7 or 8

Give your impressions and build the explanation so the class can understand your interpretations and reactions to the theatrical performance.

Your initial post must include the name of the show and provide a plot summary. Please use the prompt numbers or repeat the question to start your initial thread for clarity for all involved. Through the post, share specific examples and descriptions covering your experience as an audience member and from the show.

Prompts:

Describe your overall front-of-house experience as an audience member (lobby, theatre staff, restrooms, intermission/concessions, parking, etc.), pros and cons.

Describe the overall theatre etiquette, behavior, and general demographic (age, ethnicity, gender, etc.) of the audience around you with specific examples.

Describe the atmosphere, décor, environment, etc. in the theatre itself before the show began and after the show was completed.
Describe your reactions to the program or “playbill” for this production. What was included in the contents of the program, and what parts did you appreciate or did not appreciate? What did you think of the graphic design image for this particular production on the cover of the playbill (and also used as the basis for the back wall of the set’s design)? Was the playbill helpful to your experience of the show?
Describe the theatre space of the theatre you attended. What was it like to see a show in this particular theatre? What were some observations of the seating/stage arrangement (the actor/audience relationship)? Discuss the Pros and Cons of seeing shows in this particular theatre space. What were some advantages and disadvantages of seeing a play in this theatre based on your experience with other theatres? Might this play/show/production work in a different stage space (proscenium, thrust, or arena theatre)? What would be some advantages of a different space with this show, what would have to be changed with how the play was presented, or what would be impossible to do in a different actor/audience space?

Choose two of the actors that stood out to you for some reason (not their character as written in the script), and discuss their choices in playing their character and specific moments in the production that back up your discussion.

Describe in detail one of the designs in the play (choose between the set, the props, the costumes, the lighting, the sound). What do you think worked well and what could be improved?
