This play was a series of vignettes put together. They all connect to a current social reality most teenagers, and in a few cases teachers, live in. I really enjoyed the creativity of this play. I would describe Chad as a amusing, relatable (mostly for teens), and creative. Their were a few things that they could improve on to make the play stronger. First, they should make sure to not break character until they’re off stage and know for sure that the audience can't see them. When I saw a few break character I was like “nooo” because I knew they were better than breaking character and hopefully on accident. The one that appealed to me the most was right after the spelling bee was over. “Semaj” was calling out for the pretty judge and I saw …show more content…
At times they would speak a little to low for me to hear well and also spoke very quickly that I could barely catch what they were saying. For example, during the “Teachers lounge” scene “ Mr. Backman” was speaking quietly. I understand that that is his personality but it would have been nice to be able to hear what he was saying. Also during the “World warming” scene the seasons were speaking really quick. This was my least favorite scene because I couldn’t seem to understand what they were saying. It was a little overwhelming with everybody talking over each other. Thirdly, I felt like they could have included the whole audience instead of just the middle and right sections. What I mean by this is in the scene “ East to West… Kinda” they got off stage which made it quite exciting. Though they only passed by the middle and right wing. Since I was sitting in the left wing it wasn't very exciting that they got off stage. A suggestion would be to walk across all three wings just to make the whole audience got a real feel of being apart of the play and not left out. There were some flaws but then again nothing is …show more content…
Chad? couldn't have been more funnier, personally. All the characters had a spark that made them great. I enjoyed the fact that all the scenes were meant to be funny. I thought the sleepover scene was the funniest of them all. The fact that boys were playing girl parts and that they were so stereotypical was just hilarious. Their outfits and “flawless” hair contributed much to this comedic scene. For the most part the actors did a great job at giving a dimension to their characters. It was enough for my friends and I to even relate to some of them. I caught myself saying “me” to a few characters. I liked how even though it was comedic it had somewhat of a serious theme that our society is empowered by social media, celebrities, and music. For example, I loved all the apps they personified, the references from movies/shows, and their music choice. This play may have not entirely been original only because they used ideas from movies but it was definitely creative. I liked how they took the main idea of a movie/show and made a completely new and different version of it. It was like watching fan fiction instead of reading it, I loved it. They picked known movies/shows to go off of which I thought was smart so that the audience would get the idea and not be confused or worried about not knowing the references. “Twilight” might have been the least creative one, but “Red Robin and Blue Batman”

Similarities Between Ponyboy And Esperanza's The Outsiders

A common trope within a coming-of-age novel is the struggle the protagonist has with self-definition.

In the fourth vignette the protagonist reluctantly reveals her name. Rather than being proud, connected, and defined by her heritage and family, Esperanza seeks to define herself on her own account. “I would like to baptize myself under a…
