Playwrights Project Play Performance Paragraph

Today when the Playwrights actors came to act parts of our plays I felt amazed, very touched, and fascinated. I was amazed at how well the actors acted out the plays and it was their first time reading the plays. I was so touched because some of the plays were very sad and were based on life experiences some of my peers have gone through. Some of the people in the audience were very emotional when the plays were being acted and that shows that the plays were well written. I was so fascinated because the plays were so good and had many emotions. This was a great experience for me because it was great to sit and listen to plays that were based on real stories. I really enjoyed the plays, the actors, and the Playwrights Project.

Playwrights Project Play Completion Reflection

For the past five weeks I have been writing a play called "Lost!" and today I entered it into a contest and I feel alieviated. I feel good about my play because I worked really hard to try and finish it. My play is based on a real life experience, so I wrote down everything that I felt. Since it was based on a real life experience, it was really easy to put it together. I am stoked to see the actors act out the plays next week because I know that my peers did a great job on writing their plays. I can't wait for next week to come because I know that the actors are going to do an amazing job at acting out the plays.

Playwrights Project Inspired by Music Paragraph

In class today, we listened to music so we can come up with ideas for our play. At first, I was very confused and lost as to what I wanted to write about, but then the music was very smooth and I got into the flow of it. While listening to the music, I thought about a very romantic moment ina movie and I got lost in my thoughts. My thoughts weren't very romantic or exciting, they were more sad because of my experience. While I was writing, I remembered every moment of my experience and I was able to visualize everything that happened that day. I was able to do my classwork because the music made me remember one of my worst experiences and I was also able to experience it all over again. Afterward, I felt the same way I felt when I was experiencing it, but I felt good because I know that it makes me stronger.

“Switch” Play Audience Member Experience

Today, I went to a play called "Switch" with some sophomores and juniors. The play was about foster kids, how the system works, and all the struggles that kids are faced with. I was very suprised by the way the characters changed persona and how they stuck to the character they were playing. I think it was an amazing play and I recommend people to go see it because the experience was extrordinary and very eye opening. I was very touched in some of the parts and some made me cry because many kids are going through many things like getting taken away and it very emotional seeing it get played out. An example from the play that made me cry was when the kid was getting taken away from his mother and he was crying and screaming. Many people don't know what foster care is or what foster kids are and this play was so good that it basically explained it just by acting it out. I am very glad that I was able to experience this and I hope that I can go to more plays like this one and one day write a play about my experince as a foster kid and have it acted out.
