And People All Around   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Overall, I feel the play was a success. The actors did a wonderful job portraying their characters and brought a true story to life. The lighting was adequate, the set was slim, sound was contributed, and the acting was outstanding. Each scene brought flavor to the play and future understanding of what was to come. Love, violence, suspense, and drama filled each scene and kept me interested throughout the entire play.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Throughout this play their were many times when the lights would dim to change the scenes, but not a spectacular light show or anything. After each climax in the scene you would see the lights go out and another scene start. I don’t think lights played an important role in this play, but they did set the spaces from each point the play. After each scene the lights would go out and the actors would race off stage only to come back and start another scene. The only lighting effects that took place were during the scenes when the choir would start singing. One example is when Don was beat up by the deputy after questioning. Afterwards, the lights dimmed and you could hear a beautiful voice that started singing a sad song.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  In my opinion the set and the special effects were rather bleak. There was only a stage with a high rise and steps as well as a box and a bench for props. There was a phone however that was used for a few scenes. The colors of all of the props as well as the stage were a dark grayish color. In reference, I did wonder if that was purposely done for the nature of this play or if it was coincidence.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  The costumes seemed to be rather normal and nothing exquisite. Since the story line took place in a small southern town in Mississippi, most of everyone wore slacks, collard shirt, and boots. The girls in the play had on dresses with the exception of two that just wore pants. I think that the costumes could have been a little more elaborate than they were. For example, I don’t think that once I saw a cowboy hat being worn by the men. The sheriff had his boots on and everything with the little shiny badge and a gun, but know cowboy hat. YOU GOTTA HAVE THE HAT!!   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Sound was not a major contributor throughout the play.
