Last week KSJC performed a play “The Thing”. The play went up two nights the director of the play was Markwalter and his students were the actors. These students were from grades 9-12 and they had been preparing for two weeks prior to the play. The play was based on a movie. The play was good and interesting but it was also confusing.It was confusing because some people haven't watched the movie. The play didn't start from the beginning so for people that had watched the movie, understood the play better than people who hadn’t. But overall, the play was good it was just confusing if you haven't watched the movie. But even without watching the movie it was still good. Because it was still easy to understand what was happening. The play started by Markwalter telling everyone that there was going to be a gun involved. Then the lights turned off and there was gunshots and that when the play started. Then there was a german shepherd in the play. I think that instead of there just being a screen to make it seem like the gun fired I feel like they should have included the sound of a gun being fired more to make the play more interesting because at some point people or students were leaving the play because it wasn't that interesting. The students acting was good it looked very realistic. The screaming and shouting seemed real. But in some parts they would be laughing or smiling and it would ruin the scene because it wasn’t part of the play.But for most of the play the actors were on point and the costumes and the makeup made the play look realistic. For example, when one of the actors had frostbite the makeup made it seem very believable and the way he was acting. One thing I think they should work on is when they would fight I think they should have added sounds to make the fight more believable. Overall I think the play was good, It was well played and it there were just little things they had to work on. Markwalter did a good job directing this play it was interesting. I think that the students acting was on point most of the play seemed realistic. The props really helped make the play interesting.
