Friday
October 11th was the Kantnar theatre event, Friday Madness! At
eleven o’ clock the theatre opens up to a room full of actors and actresses who
just moments before were given a part of a script to analyze and perform! The
theme for the night was Bad manners and what was so interesting about it was
the fact that every script was different. You never knew what the next scene
would entail. When the scene begins, it’s almost like the audience has to find
ways to put together the clues in order to figure out the characters and
setting.
There was a scene where a married couple, later recognized as vampires, who had finally gotten their life together but the wife didn’t want the same life as her husband. She wanted to live like she should by doing what their kind does. She in the end chooses the life she wants over her marriage. It was twisted but interesting! Ohio University’s Association of Black Journalists President, Aunjanna Million took on the vampire wife excellently!
The night consisted of comedy and not just drama. While a couple was having a date, the girl needed to ask the waiter for advice. Although in the end the waiter was giving both her and her date advise. There was also a scene where two elderly women were having a conversation about their lives and how the world is changing. It is later discovered that one of the women have had a lot to drink which opened up even more comedy to the scene!
The night consisted of laughs and great performances. It’s so great how actors can put together something in so little time but do it so well. If you have a love for theatre, performance, or comedy than this is a show for you!
