HI, I’m Elayna Cassella and I’m from Woodbridge, CT. I love to dance and pretty much anything that has to do with the theatre. I used to play field hockey and lacrosse but now my focus is mainly ballet. Last year I was in the Ensemble for Les Miserables, and I loved being involved with the theatre department.
ReplyDeleteSo I signed up for this class because I did Advanced Acting last year and I loved being in the theatre. I love performing and I thought it would further my experience by learning about the backstage more. I have seen a live play before and it was The Boys Next Door and And Then They Came For Me. All Amity Theatre Department productions, of course. I loved both of those.
In this class I’m most interesting in learning about scenic design and costuming. I love costumes and I would love to see what else gets put into that.
My name is Lucas Morrissy. I like to yo-yo. I would like to make a club about it. I was born and raised New York. I moved to Woodbridge three years ago. I signed up for this class because i was the lighting crew the past two years for Horton Hears a Who and Beauty and the Beast. I saw Spamalot at broadway. I liked it because it was funny. I hope to become better at lighting and sound. I am most intrested in lighting.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Amanda Vecchio. I'm from bethany, CT. I play volleyball and basketball. Sports are my main focus aside from school. I have never been a part of any theater productions.I signed up for this class because Iwanted to see theater and be a part of it without having to sing or act. (:
ReplyDeleteI have seen Wicked, The Lion King, and a few other shows as well as Les Mis, Rent, and Grease here at Amity. In this class I am most interested in learning and seeing a set come from nothing into something really great.

ReplyDeleteI’m Andrew Gusciora I moved from New Jersey to Connecticut in the 6th grade. I throw discus and shot-put in track and field. I signed up for this class to learn about lighting and sound. I’m looking to use this knowledge in a future career in some type of video job. I have seen the plays “Jersey Boys”, “Peter Pan”, “The Diary of Ann Frank.” My favorite was Jersey Boys which I saw on Broadway. I liked the plot of the play. I hope to learn proper lighting techniques. I also would like to run the audio video equipment.
Andrew, i didn't know that you did shot-put.

ReplyDeleteLucas I am interested in lighting too.
Lucas, were you the one who made the yo-yo club last year?
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeleteMy name is Tayler Keefe. This year I am a Junior. I am from Orange, Ct. I like to read and write. I blog, but I use tumblr instead. I also love to sew. But most of all I like hanging out with my friends. I signed up for this class because a friend of mine took it last year and I thought it would be fun. So when I forgot to confirm my class choices, this and like two other classes were open. So, I obviously took this class. I have seen a live play before. I saw Anne and Cats.. I’m not sure where they were though. Haha. I enjoyed both of them. I am really looking forward to learning about stage design as well as costume and make up. I have always enjoyed doing this, costume and make up, working behind the scenes, but I have never jumped in and joined the crew. So here I am! By taking this class I hope to have a better understanding and appreciation of the behind the scenes work.
ReplyDeleteHi Im Kolby Santos. I am from Bethany CT. I like to snowboard and play baseball. I didnt really know what this class was when i signed up but i had Mr.Kennedy when i was in 5th grade.
ReplyDeletei have seen the Bethany middle school plays. I liked the plays but i thought the audio couldve been better. Im interested in being a sound designer. i would like to learn about settingup and designing sound
Kolby, i didn't know you wanted to be a sound designer, i thought you got forced.
ReplyDeleteHi, I am Stephanie Gray and I am from Orange. I like to play volleyball and run track. I signed up for this class because me and my friend Kiley thought it would be fun to work back stage during productions. I have seen "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" about three years ago. I saw it in New York. It was a great show and was very exciting. I liked it because the lighting was very cool and the way they had different scenes on the stage at once was cool. I am most interested in learning about the sound board, I like how the microphones are all set up to one thing and how you get to control how the sound goes through the theater. From this class i hope i get to learn more about the lighting and the sound. I would like to know more about how to work them.
ReplyDeleteI think your very good at yo-yoing lucas
ReplyDeletei dint no you played volleyball amanda
ReplyDeleteKolby being a sound designer sounds like a cool area to work in.
ReplyDeleteLucas, I am also interested in lighting and sound as well.
ReplyDeleteAmanda Vecchio, I feel the same way about wanting to be part of it without singing and dancing.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Dimitriy Khmelnitskiy, or Dima for short. I moved to Connecticut from Belirus around the age of 2, and movied to Orange from Bridgeport around the age of 9. I am a drummer for a band that goes by the name of The Unwanted, and we are going to be playing on the international day of peace. All of the members of said band are from Platt Tech. Music is basicly my life. I've never sean any live productions, and I'm quite disapointed about it.. And that's basiclally all there is to know about me! :D
ReplyDeleteSteph, I'm think that the way microphones and sound works in the theater is interesting too!
ReplyDeleteKolby, i am also interested in being a sound designer
ReplyDeleteLucas Morrissey- DUDE your beast at yo yo .
ReplyDeleteMy name is Gary Belton-Tilghmam.I live in Woodbridge, and Currently attend Amity High School. My hobbies, and interest are basketball, football, and acting. Although i have never been in a play before, i very much enjoy seeing them. The plays I have seen in the last couple years are the Lion King, Peter Pan, And My favorite, The Color Purple. The reason for joining this class was because of my guidance counselor. She thought it would have been a better choice than the class that i was put in recently. Although I didn't sign up for this class, I am still very eager, and willing, to learn and participate throughout this experience to learn new things.
