Play - Blog Posts
tech week has made me the bitchiest man alive
I went to a production of The Last Five Years where they incorporated ASL and it was absolutely Beautiful! The play is full of parallels and opposites and the way they did it built upon that.
In The Last Five Years you see a 5 year relationship between a man and a woman. From the man's perspective, you see their relationship from falling in love to the end of their relationship, but you see the women's perspective in reverse: from divorce to first date.
The actress for the woman was deaf and used ASL. An "inner voice" sang her parts from a platform in the back. The actor who played the man sang his parts and an interpreter, his "inner voice" translated from the platform. Except during the wedding scene the actor signed his vows as he sang
My favorite songs were, in order, Still Hurting(absolutely devastating in ASL), The Schmuel Song, and The Next Ten Minutes
It was amazing. I cried

Program for The Last Five Years. The top is white and has line art of two hands in the C handshape. It resembles the end of the sign without from above. The bottom is black and has line art of two hands in the F handshape touching in the sign for connection. They are separated by line art colored in with read of two hads reaching out, the left one with the palm down, the right one with palm up.

Hello and welcome to my dumbass opinions. Every musical should be translated into ASL, however there are a few that I have come across that I think it would be especially fun and cool. Here's those
Six-No plot changes here, I just think ASL would look really cool and beautiful worked into the chorography
Beetlejuice-What i was thinking is that Lydias mom could sign but her dad cannot. In the later parts of the show Beetlejuice could act as her voice maybe? Very rough ideas but I think it would be so cool
Hades Town- Oh my gosh this one would just be so pretty, I think most of the characters would function as two(sign and voice) excluding Hades, Hermes and the Fates.(they would talk/sing while signing) The ensemble would be mixed using people signing and people singing together. Ithink it would be so pretty and I want it
That's all the ones I have really thought about. Please keep in mind that I am just learning ASL and I am by no means an expert. Do you guys have any ideas?

Please help me!
I'm really not one to ask for help, I'm really stubborn about asking to be completely honest, but I ask please help out my school and its play production! Our district does not give us any funding , so we raise it ourselves , putting it all into our production. BUT without proper funds, we may not be able to put in a good show so I plead and beseech you all ,if you value the art behind theater, or just want to give us CHS play and set stage people a hand, please donate to this site http://www.gofundme.com/ed4f40 Thank you very much, Bewjibu1012
Play is the work of children
my homie Piaget
I don't know why but I am very much envious of the recent class 9 and 10 students who read "Julius Caesar" and in class 11 and 12 they will study "Macbeth" (This is the current pro forma of ICSE and ISC English)
Now my story, in class 9 and 10 our batch read Merchant of Venice and in class 11 we had Macbeth, so as usual in class 12 we will continue with Macbeth.
Questions may arise like "Why are you envious?". My answer to that question is, Julius Caesar and Macbeth are similar. Even in one of the Acts of Macbeth, Mark Anthony and Caesar were referred. The ones who are studying Julius Caesar will have no problem in understanding the plot of Macbeth because both are same..
I am jealous of you Juniors. (I have never found any problem but we could get something to discuss if we had a little knowledge about Julius Caesar like Torko And Jukti to be specific, like we could have organized a debate in these topics where one would glorify Macbeth and another one Julius Caesar)
"You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again." ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, 1762
ES|| Más ilustraciones del Calendario Montessori 2023, el cual, como ya sabréis, está enfocado en distintas maneras de cuidar el planeta. Una de las cosas más importantes para mejorar el medio ambiente es reducir el consumo de plásticos y hay infinidad de maneras de hacerlo, por ejemplo, buscar juguetes de otros materiales. La verdad es que siempre me sorprende la gran variedad de alternativas que hay a los típicos juegos de plástico. A mí, personalmente, me encantan los juguetes de madera con formas orgánicas e inspiradas en la naturaleza (sobre todo si son de madera recogida de forma sostenible y de proximidad)! 🌱
EN|| More illustrations from the 2023 Montessori Calendar, which, as you already know, is focused on different ways to take care of the planet. One of the most important things to improve the environment is to reduce plastic consumption and there are countless ways to do this, for example, looking for toys made of other materials. The truth is I’m amazed by the wide variety of alternatives there are to typical plastic toys. I personally love wooden toys with organic shapes inspired by nature (especially if they are made locally and from sustainable wood)!🌱
So I was in a play version of It’s a Wonderful Life and here are some pics of my costumes.
If we are all as dead
As we claim to be
Then are we merely
Skeletal actors
Playing the role of a man
And stiffly mimicking
The beating of a heart?
