Play Review of

            
             The production of "The Nerd" by the Georgetown College Maskrafters was extremely entertaining as well as a pleasant surprise. The director George J. McGee did a tremendous job of presenting a very smooth performance that kept the audience laughing. I felt as if the play was absolutely hilarious and was presented very professionally. In my opinion, the show excelled due to the quality of the acting as well as the presentation of the set. In the remainder of the text I will detail my reasons for my approval of the show.
             One feature of the play that really amazed me was the perfection of the acting company. The actors and actresses seemed as if they actually were the character in which they were playing, thus creates an exciting mesh. I was particularly impressed by the way that the characters seemed to actually emotionally feel and exist in their own unique roles. The humor of the play was embraced even greater through the gestures and subtle actions of the characters. The emotion of the characters was very clearly portrayed. An example of this is both the anguish that Willum suffers due to Rick Steadman, as well as Axel's unrelenting attempt to create humor out of nothing. I felt as if the actors/actresses were hilarious as well as very humanly real and intriguing.
             I was particularly impressed with the performance of Jesse Pack as Rick Steadman. Jesse fit the part of Rick almost perfectly as possible both in his appearance and personality. To be exhaustingly funny and talk in the weird voice of his character was no easy task. He mastered the role and was simply brilliant. His facial expressions and gestures during the scene in which they try to force him to leave were hilarious. I thought he did a terrific job and could actually be "Rick Steadman" in real life. I was also impressed with the acting of Nathan Bush as Axel. I thought he also did a quality job of molding in to character.

1. A Doll's House Review

A Doll's House is a play that describes how the main character, Nora, tries to figure out her true self. She goes through many challenges and tries to block out what is really going on. In the end, she finally notices how she really feels. I think this book has many parts that I enjoyed, but also had some components that I didn't like. One of the reasons I liked this play is because Nora kept lying which helped me to anticipate what could happen next. For example, when Nora ate the macaroon in the beginning of the play I had no idea how Torvald would react if he caught her. It gave the play s...
