Assignment #6 Lobster Alice Space 1. What type of theater was it? How large or small was it? How opulent or elaborate? How simple or modern? What type of stage did it have: proscenium, thrust, arena, or some other type? How did the stage space relate to audience seating? A thrust type stage was used in the small and cozy Stages Repertory Theatre. The stage was rectangular in shape and was simple which allowed the actors to move about freely for everyone to see and hear. 2. What was the size and shape of the playing space? The playing space was in the shape of a square, stretching from one corner of the seating arrangement to the other. The ceiling of the space was as high as the theatre’s ceiling. 3. What sort of atmosphere did the space suggest? How was that atmosphere created? The small space of the play area staged viewers for a play of small casting and technical acting. The maroon coloring of the theatre itself gave a warm welcome to the excellent performance. 4. Did the space seem to meet the needs of the play? Did it affect the production, and if so, how? The playing space enhanced the personal connection between the actors and the viewers. The closeness of everyone in the theatre allowed for the viewer to see the actor’s expressions that would normally not be seen while viewing from a larger theatre. Scenery 1. What information was conveyed by the scenery about time, place, characters, and situation? How was this information conveyed to you? The scenery led me to think that the play would take place in some sort of a tax or legal office because of the work desks and typewriter. I thought the characters would be secretaries or pencil pushers. The title of the play told me that it would probably have something to do with Alice in Wonderland and Disney. 3. Did any colors dominate? How did colors affect your impression of the theater event? The deep shades of red and maroon where used to warm the crowd and help twist the stories painted in Dali’s mind. 4. Was the setting a specific place, or was it not recognizable or real locale? The play was set in a Disney office for drawing and conjuring ideas for a film. It was a real location that used desks and typewriters to set the mood. 5. If the setting was realistic, how effectively did it reproduce what the place would actually look like? The realistic setting imitated a “lockdown” facility very well using metal plumbing that can be seen.
