Post for 9-16

The Man Who Came to dinner in my opinion was a great play. Out of all the plays I have been to it held my attention better than any other. Although the first act was a little dry in my opinion the second and third act made the play. I went on Thursday night which was the student night/ dress rehearsal so there were some things that were not spot on as should be. The only things I noticed were that some of the cues were off, such as the lighting and the doorbell. The lighting was not horribly noticeable but the doorbell rang before the man was even in sight of the door. Other than that the play was amazing in my opinion. My favorite character was Banjo played by Curtis Burkhardt who is a personal friend of mine. Now my view may be slanted because he is a close friend but I found him to be the most comical person in the play. Another of my good friends was in the play also, Micah Buckley. Micah played two roles in this play, he was the man who brought the cockroaches into the house and he was also the man who called the house from the train station pretending to be the fatbottom guy from France. I am glad that this was the play that we were required to go to because I got to see a great play and two of my old roommates act. Although I am disappointed to say that this performance was the last of the legendary Micah Buckley’s performances at Southeastern. I hope Southeastern continues to put on such great performances in the future. This was by far my favorite out of all the previous field trips we have gone on in this class and I have a feeling it will not be topped.
