Previews

Attended the preview for the spring musical, The Fiddler on the Roof, today instead of the usual class. Showed "Tradition" and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker", I believe those are the titles. It was quite interesting to see the sets in their finished states as I remembered working on them just a month ago as nothing more than just slats of wood. If I go back to the first time we were asked to bring into class Fiddler research regarding sets and the entire staging of the show, the houses looked just like the ones our theater department has created. I felt that the costumes and the set added to the authenticity of the entire show. Compared to past shows that we have done at our high school though, I found that the time period of this piece may have restricted how creative one could be in costuming and otherwise as they were trying to recreate a period in time. I found most of the costumes to have this drab, lackluster effect, which may have taken away from the value of each person's performance.
