Final Paper by Elisa

Being part of this program really helped me understand all different sorts of theater. Not just focusing on one certain type (plays, operas,symphonies, etc.) really helped me get a feeling for which types ofperformances I enjoy, and which ones I don't prefer. This program has helped me appreciate all the different types of theater. Sure, I don't particularly enjoy all of them, but I've learned to appreciate them. The performance I enjoyed best was Romeo and Juliet. I can't exactly say why I enjoyed that one the most. It just seemed to get my attention more easily then the other performances. The program was pretty much what I expected going into it at the beginning; performances, papers, fun, etc. And quite frankly, I was happy with the program. Although, the jazz quartet performance time was abit odd since it was at 9:30 p.m. but other than that, I was happy with the program as a whole. Even though the On-Stage program was/is school related,it didn't feel like it was. The environment was laid back and stress-free for the most part. I liked having that socialization time with my fellow students. Even though we see each other everyday, we usually don't get other contact then at school. Over all I really did enjoy this program this year and I am glad I signed up for it.
