The Twin-bill Play

            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.
