Evaluation of Final Performance

The audience's reaction at the end was the most surprising part of the whole project. The audience was scared and saddened. I didn't realize that the play was emotional, because almost everytime we rehearsed the play, we were told to "STOP LAUGHING". A few unscripted changes were made during the actual performance, but it was unbeknownst to the audience. Our audience was composed of the M3B class and a few parents of the actors and actresses.
My castmates were really good. All of us made the performance "real" and it's true that the best performers are the ones that are really exagerrated in character. My favorite part of the play is the introduction and the end, because those are the most powerful sections of the play.
My performance satisfied me, but there is always room for improvement. Especially expression, in my case. My two roles were: a murdered villager and an abusive mother to a disabled child. I could have been more aggressive in my second role, but overall I am okay with how it turned out. Next time, I will exagerrate my reactions and facial expressions more to really be in character.
