TGM Adaptation Notes



NO opening monologue we see Tom walk from the down a flight of stairs outside, and reads a newspaper. This is the present
Then starts the flashback
Amanda looks young
Laura looks old
Amanda is still annoying
Tom doesn't seemed to be too annoyed of Amanda's habits
The scenes were very well lit
Amanda finds out that Laura stopped going to business school
Amanda had hopes when Laura said she liked a boy, but then got disappointed when she finds out it was back in high school



Jim says I’ll treasure this souvenir and memory when he leaves
Laura gives him the whole horse
We then see Tom in the present again, smoking a cigarette

After Tom and Amanda's big argument he breaks Laura's glass menagerie, and then looks are Laura sadly

Laura seems a lot more comfortable in the adaptation with Jim than in the text of the original
Jim is very upbeat, with Laura
Jim lifts Laura up and kisses her

Laura and Tom seem to be very close, and he is drunk when he comes home from "the movies"
He gives Laura a magic sleeve

The dress Laura is wearing is white and great. too much for a simple dinner with Jim
Amanda stuffs Laura's braw
Amanda is in a long pink fluffy dress

Laura is extremely awkward when Jim enters
Jim doesn't know what he is getting into. He says Tom didn't even tell him that he had a sister
Tom goes out on the terrorist to smoke. Jim joins him
Jim maybe using Laura as a test to get into public speaking


Amanda just won shut top
The candles are used when the power goes out
Jim looks young compared to Laura
Laura takes only a very small piece of chewing gun. This maybe because she doesn't know how to chew it

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...
