Live from Tabard Theatre: Trying

Trying was indeed one of the most beautiful, wellstructured, and sophisticated live theatre performances I’ve witnessed in mylife. The first time I went inside the old-fashioned building I was greeted bythese people whom were very friendly, and they lead me into the theatre hall.First thing I noticed was how classic the set was. Being able to see livetheatre like this is in fact an exciting new experience I’m about to encounterin my life.

            The settingof the stage suits the time of the story as well, which takes place in the late60s. I really like the setting because it is far from what I see in dailylife.  When the play was about to start,a lady comes up introducing what the story is going to be about, and with senseof humor she mentions how we are going to be ‘eaves-dropping’ as watching theconversation between attorney Biddle and his secretary. I think that was a veryinteresting opening as well.

            The actingof the actors is very natural and professional. They really did behaved in away people of the 60s would. Since the story is developed from a real story, Ifound it very interesting that it is now re-acted through a live performance.  The outfits worn by the actors suited thetimeline.

The transmission between one sceneand another is very smooth and beautiful. It is very quick, and even how thecharacter expresses their personality can be see gradually from one scene untilthe end. How attorney Biddle was not friendly and perhaps cold-hearted towardsthe new secretary Sarah (With an ‘H’) until a year after they have developed afamily-like relationship between each other. The story is very clear, and howthe actors expressed their feelings are very easy to understand.

I like how the heater seems to takea huge role in the play as well. The first day of Sarah’s work we analyze howattorney Biddle strictly prohibits Sarah to even touch the heater. But towardsthe end of the play, Sarah seems to be conveniently switching the heater on andoff without attorney Biddle’s objection.

Not only the heater, Sarah’spregnancy also takes an important role because throughout time her stomach getsbigger and bigger. Here I notice how well organized the play was, and howprofessional everyone who works behind the stage are – the fact that the actorschange outfits within seconds!

For a ticket price of $30, I’d sayit was very worth the value. Plus, being a Foothill student advantages me topay for only $5, which was a bonus.  Ihad a very good time watching the show and hopefully one day I will haveanother opportunity to be able to see my own teacher acting on stage. Not tomention the types of food offered were such quality! – The cheesecake wasperhaps the best cheesecake I’ve ever tasted in the bay. Thank you so muchProfessor Gravenhorst for giving this golden opportunity to the students!
