This is the first time I bumped into something called Reader Theater! I guess this is a new challenge to me! Okay, let me tell you what Reader Theater is. In Reader's theatre, actors use vocal expression to help the audience understand the story rather than visual storytelling such as sets, costumes, and intricate blocking.
On Tuesday, we were just having brief readings on two scripts; the first script is Tape (by Jose Rivera). At first, I don’t really understand what the play was, the first thing came to mind was, it’s some sort of psycho experiment which is related to person whom did mistakes and was given punishment? Till I read this sentence’ to every lie you ever told while you WERE alive...then I realised, the person is dead...So, basically, this script is about the afterlife of a person and he is forced to recall his dark past by hearing every lie that he made in his life via a large reel-to-reel tape recorder!
The second script is The Incompatibles (by Horace Holley). I prefer this script than the Tape because this is more interesting and more on dramatic element (I love watching drama, especially HK series), haha! I will post the link of both scripts, so you guys can have a look on it when feel free!
Next, let’s talk about things happened today, our group presented (by voice) a play named The Legend of Slappy Hooper. It is an American Tall Tale told by Aaron Shepard. I played the role Michael (a servant to BOSS in the heaven), was sent to give a job to Slappy, which is painting rainbows, sunrise and sunset. Though our group did not get a good mark for our performance, we did enjoy the discussion and learned a lot of fresh things throughout the lesson. J
I guess, that’s all for today. I’m going to watch my favourite show. Bye guys! =)
*Oh ya! the link!
Hope you guys enjoy it!
