The crucible

I got the chance recently to attend 'The Crucible'.I thought it was interesting. I really liked how it had sort of a dark and gloomy feel to it. This is not so with many popular plays today. It was also very intense the whole way through. There was a lot of yelling throughout the entire show. It had everyone one the edge of their seat. Occasionally I would look over at some of the audience memebers just to see the look on their faces. Everyone was completely caught up in the action.
I also thought it was cool how the audience got to sit on the stage. It made one feel that they were right there at the witch trials. The acting was superb. I know a few of the cast members and loved seeing them playing a different character than themselves. I found myself getting sucked in at times and forgetting that I was just watching the play from an outside perspective. Trey Patterson, who played the judge at the witch trial, is one who i know from high school and i think did a fantastic job. I can remember him playing similar roles in other plays that were performed at our high school. He is a phoenominal actor, and it was great to see him in action. I haven’t seen him perform for quite some time now.
Overall, I thought that it couldn’t be done any better. Everything was fantastic and I am really, really glad that I got the chance to go and see the play. I hope that DSC can keep pumping out amazing plays like they have been this year.
