In this project we had to put on a Greek tragedy play. A Greek tragedy is a play that is tragic and focuses on a human flaw. Our class put on a play called South Side Story. It's about an ex-con named Anthony who has just been released and wants to turn his life around, but is judged and treated with hatred and fear.
I played the role of the Choragos which is the lead Chorus member. The Chorus of the play is the section that reflects on every scene and then introduces the next scene. I played this part as a gangster because the play takes place in the 'ghetto' and the theme of the chorus members were ex-convicts.
As well as that, I was asked to take on the role of being a writer for the actually play. I wrote a lot of the choruses and contributed a lot of my ideas to the plot. I also helped cast the play!
I am most proud of all the short monologues I memorized as well as portraying my character well. I felt like I was the leader of the chorus members and really kept them on track and memorized and we did such an amazing performance the night of exhibition! One thing I would change is that I could have been a bigger role in the play and helped direct areas of it as well as give my input.
