The performance overall consists several pieces of independent funny stories and it indeed succeeded in bringing laughter among the audiences. In every small scene, there were plots that were noticeably funny. Many actors or actresses in the play demonstrated their strong ability to mimic other people in the real life. The beginning of the play was quite impressive as political candidates and their daughters presented in a “show”. All the actors all dressed like the people they represented, especially the actress of Hillary Clinton let me recognize with character she was acting like instantly. Another scene that attracted me so much was just like the scene that many other students would like the most. During the morning meeting plot, most people almost laughed after every lines. Especially Ms. Anderson, Mr. Dykeman and Mr. McBreen’s characters were just like the real ones. The proper costumes, like the CA clothes that Mr. McBreen always wears, and pops, like the paper coffee cup that John held, played a huge role in making the morning meeting such realistic and funny. Ms. Anderson’s little jokes’ plot also gave us so much fun during the play. Music and song were greatly implemented in the play. “John Jiang the Latte Boy” and John’s later response to the girl were full of a nice rhythm and they are both quite pleasant to the ears.
Unavoidably, there are little flaws in the play. Sometimes the jokes might be a little hard to understand as the teachers and other parents side laughed while it was extremely quiet in the student audience side. Besides, sometimes it was hard to hear clearly some characters’ lines. Moreover, I thought the swan scene can be improved because the audience only laughed during the part when there were cross-dressing performers appeared on the stage. Nonetheless, this play definitely gave me the motivation to see future CA plays in my senior year.
