Troy Mr. Death monologue



Alright..... Mr. death. I'm gonna tell you what ima do. Ima build me a fence around this yard here. You see? Im gonna build me a fence around what belongs to me. And I want you to stay on the other side. You stay over there until you're ready for me. Then come out, and bring everything you got. You not gonna sneak up on me anymore. When the top of your list say Troy Maxon that's when you come around here. Ain't nobody else got nothing to do with this. This is between you and me. Man to man. You stay on that other side of that fence until your ready for me. Then you come and knock on that front door. Anytime you want. I'll be ready for you.



I will be Troy in this monologue. This monologue takes place after Troy has found out that Alberta has died and his daughter has been born. The emotions that go into this scene is a mixture of anger,  acceptance of death, and depression but not in a way that effects his tone of voice. The voice needs to be strong and during this scene Troy was in his bedroom but I am going to change it to actually being outside by the fence so I can incorporate more body movements.

Footloose Review of Winter Musical

On Wednesday night February 27th, I decided to attend the Cheshire Academy varsity production of the musical "Footloose" in the black box theater. This was a dress rehearsal for the actual performance that took place on the first weekend of March. "Footloose" was written by Dean Pitchford, and Walter Bobbie in 1998. An interesting fact about "Footloose" is that the musical came out after the movie in 1984. Many times it is the movie that is made after the book or play. For the Cheshire Academy production, notable cast members included: Tony Wang, Olivia Williamson, Aaron Luo, along with 10 graduating seniors. "Footloose" is a musical play that many high school students can relate to. Ren McCormack is a teen from Chicago, who doesn't really fit in anywhere. Ren moves to a small town in the middle of nowhere. He loves to dance, but in this town dancing is illegal. This is because of Reverend Moore's son died in a drunk driving car crash ...

In class writing 5-7

Something that made each poetry recital unique is the performance and interpretations each actor had for their poems. Poetry is very adaptive and can be recited in many ways. For example, Leslie and Nan’s performances really stood out to me becuase they chose to sing verses of their poems. The music they chose had no relation to the original poem, but they made it flow as if the poem was perfect for the song. Their performances turned out great, and were by far my favorites of the class! Jack’s recital and performance I felt was kind of dry. He displayed very little movement on stage, and he was very hard to hear. Both of these things effective his overall performance negatively. On the bright side, I felt that Jack did a great job of picking his wardrobe, and was by far the most flashy dressed actor of the group.  When it comes to my performance I felt I could of been a little more engaging to the audience by adding music/sound since it seemed as if this was a constant strategy u...
