Fall Play Review

I was very impressed with the performances in the fall play. The actors did a great job of memorizing their lines and an even better job of improvising if they forgot their lines or somebody else forgot their lines or went out of order. I really liked the props that were used. The backgrounds and the benches and the chairs really worked in explaining where the scene was taking place. I could easily tell that the city scenes were inside of a house and the country scenes were outside. I liked that the actors were able to exit and enter the scene in different ways. One of the ways was from the door that was closest to the stage. The other was down the middle all the way to the back. I really liked this way because it is different from actors just turning left or right to exit. I felt like there was the right amount of music. I liked that it was only between scenes and not during the acting. The lighting was appropriate for the scenes inside and outside. When the actors were performing in the city house, the lights were dimmer and I could easily tell that they were outside because they were very bright. The actors did a great job of keeping their composure on stage. They did not laugh at all when the audience would laugh and they did not break character at any point. I also liked that they could enter from behind the audience. It made me feel like I was right in the middle of the performance and not looking in from the outside. I really enjoyed this play and it was filled with important themes such as honesty. This was a very enjoyable play to watch.
