I attended this reading with my English 2100 class. I was anticipating to be bored since this was just a reading where actors would be reading lines off of scripts and there wouldn’t be a set or anything like that. But I wasn’t bored at all. The actors were very lively and believable although they didn’t have props, weren’t wearing costumes, and a lot of imagination was needed. It was also my first time ever going to Baruch’s Performing Arts Center, so if nothing else it was a good chance to explore a part of the school I haven’t seen since I started going here in July.
I attended the workshop Masterworks Reading of a “Doll’s House” with my English Professor. I was unable to attend any Global Awareness workshops so I am doubling up with this one. Honestly, I loved it. I didn’t fall asleep. In fact, it kept my attention the whole time. I took me out of my comfort zone emotionally because I am also dealing while a psychotic girlfriend. This play showed me that most women are exactly like this so i have to prepare to be able to deal with it. I would recommend this play to anyone at all. It was wonderfully acted.
i went to the reading of this play as well with the same english class. i too was expecting to be extremely bored, but in fact it was very interesting. i liked it cuz it was something that i could understand. while it seemed a little older, its themes were current. it dealt with relationship problems and this is something that a lot would find interesting. the funny part was that girls and boys have such different view on what the author of the play was trying to say. perception shapes a lot of things and that also had to do with wat the playwright was trying to say. the only thing that was a little weird for me was the fact that it was primarily a reading and this was a new experience for me. it was ok but i think i would’ve enjoyed it more if it was an actual play.
I went with professor Micheal M. Miller and my class (English 2100) to this reading. I was expecting somewhat to a opera play. Of course I wasn’t expecting a full production but I expect some sort of scenery of some sort but it wasn’t like that. I have been to a few opera-like shows before but this was a first for me. This time it wasn’t really focused on the scenery or the little details of the play but more focused on the words it self. I guess that’s why they called it a reading. Well anyway I went there and watched them somewhat perform, and read at the same time. I really thought when I first came in I was going to be sitting there while people were just going to read from a book. (since I saw all the actors reading from a book anyway.) What happened was that I saw them actually act some parts out. They had some drama added to it as well. If I am not mistaken I am sure that those actors could probably do an Opera show one day. Either way I thought it was actually REALLY good. It was better than many other plays that I have seen. What also amazed me is that all the actors only knew each other and practice for like 2-3 months I believe? That even made it more amazing to me.
I attended this reading of A Doll’s House. It wasn’t that bad. It was a lot better than I thought it would be because i usually hate these kinds of things, but it really surprised me. The actors played their parts very well even though they had to read from a script and didn’t have any costumes or set, but i really didn’t notice those things once i got into the play itself.
