On October 29, 2009, I was a usher at theater for Spoon River. I have worn black pants and white shirt. I came at 6:30 P.M. and helped the house manager by cleaning around the halls and chairs before 7:30 P.M. which the viewers will come. When the first viewer came, I torn his ticket and gave him a pamphlet for the show. The first opening night, we got around seventy-five people watching. At the middle of the movie, almost twenty-five people left because the movie talked too much and too confusing for some people, it was not confusing for me because I have the director, Ethan Sinott as my teacher in my class, Script Translation to A.S.L. every Tuesday and Thursday. Also I did read the book by Edgar Masters called Spoon River Anthology.
Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Masters and adapted by Ethan Sinott talked about over 260 characters being ghosts and got up from their graves and told in backstabbing way against other characters, for an example, one person killed the talking character. Then next scene, the killer will talk about denying that he killed the character. The movie is so complex for some people who don’t know what the movie is about. They have to read the summaries from internet and read the book by Edgar Masters to understand. Many of my friends watched themselves and in the end, they asked me a lot of questions because they don’t even understand the movie. I think the reason they are unable to understand because of the movie was cutted into about 90 characters from around 260 characters because the director don’t have enough time to film and edit all of the characters.
I was a character in the movie, I was Daisy Fraser and I was the town prostitute. I looked a bright white ghost which that time I had blonde hair and was wearing a white dress. I stood behind white hall. So it was so fascinating for almost every viewers because they thought that was so tripping for a girl in white and signed with her hands which was so tan and her eyes was so blue. My favorite character in the movie is Mrs. Sibley because she got the shortest monologue than others but it was the most powerful which impacted me. She talked about she had sex with many men even she had a husband which was a priest. Also I liked her because she don’t like to tell everybody that she had sex with men and don’t know which one is the father. She died with the baby in her stomach and nobody knows who was the father ever.
