Central State University s Theatre Production Performed...

Metropolitan State University s Theatre Production performed, God s Country. This play was written by Steven Dietz in 1988. It revolved around a white supremacist group called The Order. This group was led by Robert Jay Matthews and during the presence of The Order, Matthews organized the members to perform various illegal acts to earn money for the groups cause. The illegal acts led to a court trial that occurs during the play because The Order, was being prosecuted for the assassination of radio host, Alan Berg. During MSU Denver s production of God s Country, the elements of the play that stood out the most were: the success of one particular character, growing to dislike a character, and the small amount of props that were used. On opening night of God s Country, produced by Metropolitan s Theatre, one character seemed to be more successful than any of the other characters and that was the boy. The boy in this production was portrayed by a girl, but gave an outstanding and very believable performance. At the beginning of the play there was a scene where all the kids were playing recess games, but the boy was so much more believable in this scene than any of the other characters. This girl was dressed like a boy, no makeup, and her movements were so well performed to distinguish her true self from the boy in which she played. It was so believable that for awhile, you were not quite sure if this actress was either a younger boy or a student at MSU Denver.Show MoreRelatedpreschool Essay46149 Words   |  185 Pagesand compliance with it is not mandatory.
