ReplyDeleteMy name is Caitlin Nickerson. I'm a freshman from Orange, though I lived in New York for seven years previous. My favorite hobby is art. I love to paint and draw and I take art lessons every week. I signed up for this class because I have always been interested in theater. I've seen a lot of live plays before, including Beauty and the Beast, Hairspray, The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, and The Lion King. I saw most of them on Broadway but one of them was a high school production and one was at The Shubert in New Haven. I liked them all, especially Hairspray because it was very funny and I went with my friends. The play with the best scenery and costumes, and the most moving, was by far The Lion King. I am most interested in learning about scenic design; basically anything involving art.
i am anthony duhamel i wanted to join this class to work with the lighting and do alot of hands on work.
ReplyDeleteIm Frankie and I joined this class becuase I wanted to learn about lights, sound and other technical things. I also wanted to build stage props and paint. I also like to work with hands on materials.

I played for the Amity Field Hockey team, i was on both the freshmen and the JV team! I am planning on playing for the Amity lacrosse team in the spring. I honestly didnt sign up for this class it was just on my scheduale. I have seen many live plays on broadway. For example, hairspray, legally blonde, and more. I love going to see broadway plays!I am most interested in learing about the scenic design. My goal for this class is to paint some scenery!!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Layla Hansen and I am from Orange. I'm a sophmore here at Amity. I don't do any sports, but I love acting, theater, and writing. I've been into acting since I was twelve and have been pursuing that love ever since. I'm taking acting outside of school where I learn everything except for behind the stage. This is why I'm here. I want to learn about what makes the play other than te cast and crew. The lighting, sound, make-up and costume design really sparked my interest.
ReplyDeleteI have seen alot of plays on stage before in New York City. My favorite tow have got to be RENT and Wicked. I haven't seen RENT on broadway, so Wicked has got to be my favorite from there. I liked it because it seem so different from all the other plays out there.
What interests me most about back stage would have to be lighting and costumes. What I hope to get out of this class is to be able to understand the hardwork that goes on behind the play. I hope to learn so thatin the future I would be able to pursue a career in this as well as being on the stage.
My name is Samantha. I like to be called Sam. I am a freshman and i am from Woodbridge. I play field hockey and basketball here at Amity and will be trying out for a spring sport.I have three and half year old twin brothers and i also have two dogs. My hobbies include hanging out with friends,playing sports,talking to friends on the computer(facebook)and texting and listening to music.Yes, I have seen a live play before. I saw Rent here at Amity and i have seen Beauty and the Beast on broadway, and the rockettes christmas spectacular in New York City and i was in the play Seussical last year at the Amity Middle School in Bethany. I loved these plays because the actors really engaged the audience and made them feel as if they were really part of the play. As for Seussical, It was great it felt awesome out performing on stage and the lighting,sound and costumes really pulled it to together to make it a really successful show.
ReplyDeleteThe reason i signed up for this class is because when i was in last years play at the middle school (Seussical)i didnt learn alot about any of the other important people that put the show together besides the actors.So, In this class i hope to learn what goes on behind the scenes of the play and how to operate different types of lighting and sound equiptment.The thing im most interested about learning about in this class would have to be the scenic and costume design.
My name is Diana Marino. I was born in Missouri. When I was six days old I was adopted and moved to New York. When I was six years old I moved to Orange, Connecticut and have resided there since. I love to Horseback ride, listen to music and play with my dog, Lucy, cat, Kitty, and my 4 rabbits, Oreo, Sunshine, George, and Stripes. I used to play Electric Guitar but gave up. I do not like many sports although I dance, ice-skate and Horseback ride. I signed up for this class because I like being involved with theater but don’t have the confidence to actually get up on stage and act. I am most interested in learning about costumes and make-up. I hope to be more educated about what goes on backstage during a play and maybe start to build some confidence; if I learn more about the stage directions maybe i'll want to be on the stage.

ReplyDeleteMy Name is Peter Charney. I'm from Orange, but I went to Middle School in New Haven. My hobbies include acting, cooking, juggling, bowling, and playing video games. I was in the Fall play here at Amity and am currently in the musical Les Miserables. I signed up for this class because I want to be a Director when I'm older and I want to have a good knowledge about all the technical stuff, unlike some other directors I've work with in the past. My main goal for this class is to learn how all the technical aspects of theater work so when I'm directing I now what I can produce and how to do it. I also feel as a director you should be a huge part of the designing process, and the more I know about tech theater the more I know what is possible to produce and how to do it. I believe technical theater will help me in many ways on my path to becoming a director so that's why I'm taking this class.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Liz. I’m from California but now I live in Orange. Some of my hobbies are swimming, shopping, hanging out with friends and camping. I took this class kind of because I wanted to and my guidance counselor put me in here. I have seen a live play before and it was Beauty and the Beast. And I really enjoyed it and had a lot of fun watching it. Some things that I hope to get out of this class is to help build the props for the play and to learn something new.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Nicole Silva, I'm from Haverhill Ma, although I currently live in Woodbridge. (I'm a sophomore). I'm in two clubs: Plahd and Creative Writing. I play the drums, I love to draw, and I'm very into photography. I signed up for this class because, initially, my parents had suggested it. Although, as the year has progressed I began to get more and more excited about the course. I got very interested in learning about the sound tech, lighting, costume design, etc. In taking this course I hope to gain knowledge on how to build props (correctly), and I'm really looking forward to learning about the lighting systems.
