Pulaski: The Importance Of Theater To Teens

Decent Essays
I think that a theater would be most useful to the teens in Pulaski. For one, a ton of people like teens in Pulaski have to travel out of town to go to a movie theater. If someone wants to see a movie when it comes out, they could just go to a theater. But since we don’t have one in this town, they have to wait till it’s on DVD or spend like 40 dollars on gas to drive out of town, it’s really pointless. My second point is that it would be a nice place for teens to walk to every once and a while and enjoy a movie with friends or family. And there’s a catch to it to, and by that I mean that the theater could close at like 10:00 so teens wouldn’t be stowing away and staying there all night, see what I mean?. And my third and final point is that

    The Nickelodeon Theaters are significant to the evolution of American popular culture because they allowed Americans to experience modernity, and facilitated the formation of a national identity by transcending race and class lines. The theater served as an arena to disseminate cultural ideology to a diverse group of individuals, comprised of immigrants, the working class and American youth. The large scope of the theaters aided in consolidating the different cultural norms that separated rural and urban America during the period between 1905 to 1915.

    Although technical theatre is not my cup of tea, I did enjoy learning about some of the things. That is why I am choosing to talk about my two favorite things we discussed this semester: scenic painting and drafting. The first, scenic painting is the one I had the most experience with coming into.

    Initially I started this assignment by carefully reviewing over the worksheet given to me before the in-class assignment. The assignment was to create a scene with “silent tension” and to incorporate several elements such as a moment of pause. Even though I might not have to direct the scene, I started to think in a sense of how a director might approach this assignment and create a scene. I started to reference the “dead theatre” essay written by Peter Brook. I wanted to create a scene that the audience could emotionally and spiritually relate to.…

    Screen and stage entertainment are very different; although, they seem to have strikingly similar characteristics and have many comparable features that some do not even realize. Stage provides live entertainment that creates a bond with the audience that can be the same plot but performed so differently each time. Screen is filmed entertainment that can have special effects and captivate every single detail but has no real connection to the audience. Usually, how a person feels about stage or screen entertainment is based mostly on preference and somewhat based on the time era they grew up in.…
