Tonight my friends and I watched the theater play of 3rd year block A. It started
on time and the first part of the play was "St. Anthony, Pray For
Us". The set was okay and looked like real house. The props were good also
but on the acting part, I noticed that the lead actor was a bit nervous that
some of her lines were not delivered well. Her voice was not too loud also and
stuttered sometimes. Some of her lines also were repeated a lot every time she
forgets her lines. The angel also should be witty but she looked obviously
nervous.
On the second part
of the play entitled "Guilty Until Proven Innocent", the set design
looked elegant. The costumes portrayed the character's mood and attitude. But
as far as I am concerned, I think Janet's jewelries were too much because Janet
should need to look like trying hard lady but turned to looked
"baduy" or "corny".
Janet Napoles
wasn't portrayed well by the actor. She also stuttered a lot like the lead
actor in St. Anthony though her voice was loud. It was noticeable when she
forgets her lines. Benhur was the one who carried the show. He acted well and
naturally on the stage. He looked so confident as well as Gelli, the daughter
of Janet.
Lighting and sounds
were good except for some mistakes like being late at times and some at wrong
time. The play should be a comedy but turned out to be drama. I admit that the
play was boring at some point because the actor was like declaiming and lacked sense
of humor. Majority of the actors had hard time delivering their lines. I think
they were not totally prepared.
