Theater, Performing Arts, and Expression (21–30)
Chorus LineNEW!
Let me introduce the musical A Chorus Line, which embraces the theme “Life is a stage, and living is a drama.” It’s a musical that will undoubtedly move you, as it portrays with great intensity the passion, struggles, and even prayers of those single-mindedly pursuing their dreams.
For students who hope to enter the world of theater or musicals in the future, the audition scenes may feel as tense and authentic as a real audition.
It looks to be a work that will truly touch the hearts of its audience.
The Sound of MusicNEW!
Maria, a novice who doesn’t quite fit in as a nun, is sent by the Mother Abbess to become a governess for the children at the Von Trapp villa.
Having lost their mother, the children constantly play pranks to attract the attention of their father, Captain Von Trapp, causing governesses to quit one after another.
However, they warm to Maria, and through the songs she teaches them, they begin to mend their relationship with their father.
If you’re looking for a heartwarming musical, why not choose this work as your theme? Practice the songs well and move not only the father’s heart, but the audience’s too.
High School MusicalNEW!
Originally released as a Disney Channel production and set in a high school, this work is perfect for a school festival play.
It follows a basketball-playing boy and an honor-roll girl who grow together through singing.
The key element of this piece is, above all, the music.
While the process of acting out the story is important, practicing the songs matters most.
Especially at schools with music-focused departments or clubs, it might be a good idea to hold auditions for the main singing roles to decide the cast.
Have fun choosing which songs from the work to use as you create the stage production.
Yuta and the Mysterious CompanionsNEW!
It’s a classic that’s often included in school performances.
Since it’s a musical, put some creative thought into the sound and lighting, and even the sets and props.
It’s challenging but essential to extract the key points and throughlines from the script and lines, and shape them within the allotted time.
As you create and perform the piece with your peers, keep in mind that the time you can share on stage exists only in this very moment—so face it with all your heart.
It will surely become a work that stays in the hearts of those who watch it.
Spirited AwayNEW!
While the fun and difficulty of taking on a famous work can overlap—and you may hit a wall at times—this is definitely one piece you’ll want to try tackling on this occasion.
Since this work has been adapted into anime films, picture books, and stage productions, it’s good to deeply understand the role and pay attention to gestures, lines, and tone of voice.
Audiences may actually be watching the character’s behavior more than you expect when there are no lines.
Give it a try with attention to detail down to the smallest aspects!
Theatre, Performing Arts, and Expression Studies (31–40)
The Walk-Through-Walls ManNEW!
You’ll be drawn in by the witty lines and movements set to comical music! Let me introduce Shiki Theatre Company’s The Man Who Walked Through Walls.
The protagonist is a man who, one day, discovers he can pass through walls and has since obtained everything he desires.
However, there is one thing even he cannot get: the heart of the one he loves.
The highlight is how this man, who has slipped through physical walls, strives to overcome the wall of love! Aim for acting that’s pop and accessible, while expressing a delicate, wavering heart in the love scenes.
Be sure to give it a try!
Sister ActNEW!
The American film Sister Act, starring actress Whoopi Goldberg.
A club singer who witnesses a murder is hidden away in a convent, where she sets off all kinds of commotion.
Although it’s a comedy, everyone will be moved by the story of how she forms friendships with the sisters and transforms a tone-deaf choir into something wonderful.
You’ll also find yourself enchanted by the soulful singing—that’s really the highlight.
So be sure to practice the songs as diligently as the acting, and give the audience a truly moving experience.
