Lets Learn More About this Theatre Stuff: 2

As I was searching for research sites, I found a bunch of sites that spoke about specific shows. But I wanted to share a general look at musical theatre, not just one show. So, I finally found a website that touched everyone point that I was looking for.
http://www.musicals101.com/musical.htm
This site shares information on what makes a musical successful, where musical theatre descends from, and gives exact definitions to better one's understanding of the technical aspects of the theatre. There are also links in case you don't find what you are looking for. This website has confirmed many things that I have already learned in the 3 days of this program; for example, one of the things you must have to make a great musical is courage, which is what Ms. Tracy has been saying about taking risks. This site also confirms what I have always been taught about the Greek theatre and the Italian Commedia Dell'Arte origins.
This site did not change any of my perceptions of the theatre, except that I can now appreciate how important theatre was to people as a way of entertainment back then, whereas people nowadays have become less appreciative of the work the theatre does.

As you know from the "Name Game" I am Larissa Gonzalez. This will be my 3rd summer doing this program. But, I still have alot to learn. In this course I expect to acheive a better voice, a better stage presence, and new skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
The audition for Mulan Jr. made me extremely nervous. And at first I was not happy with my part, but after I re-read the script for my part, I realized that it was a good role. It was something I have never done before and I am looking forward to this new experience.
Mulan Jr. would be my 6th time performing on stage, my 5th show, and my 4th play, but I already feel like the stage is my haven. I just hope that everyone in this program will fall in love with theatre like I have. And I hope that everyone, including, me gains so much from this experience.
