Review For The Super Correct History of Theatre The Super Correct History of Theatre is a play written by Ava Usher, Sareena Gupta, and Josephine Bradley as a senior capstone project, directed by Josephine and Sareena. All three have experience with theatre, with Josephine and Sareena playing roles in numerous different productions, such as Zombie Quest, The Wedding from Hell, and Once Upon a Mattress. Ava has worked as a tech head in all of these productions. All three of them also are a part of the Pinnacle Theatre Company (PTC). I watched the 7:00 pm showing on 11/17 at Pinnacle High School, room D112. The Super Correct History of Theatre successfully utilized the small stage space, sounds and lights, and strong acting to amuse the audience, making for an absurd but extremely fun performance. The small stage created the feeling that you were at your grandparents house, listening to their stories, enraptured by their spin of the tale. The lights, as designed by Ariel Yanofsky, created tense moments, complemented by the sounds from Ariel as well. For example, in Shakespeare’s (Aidan Jolly) scene where he recites MacBeth, Ariel used red and green lights, along with the sound of a bubbling pot, to give the audience fear and apprehension as he waves his hands mysteriously. Consequently, the sound of a gunshot and a red spotlight were used when Shakespeare was shot by John Wilkes Booth (Annabelle Enright) to evoke death and blood. I believe this was used as a way to create tension that was meant to be dispersed by Booth’s following monologue. The strong acting performance amused the audience. Each of the actors played their parts to near perfection, and the sheer absurdity of Lin-Manuel Miranda (Lexi Shaw) just grabbing someone’s paper to sign it made me laugh. I will say that when Jimmy Vaudeville (Marco Johnson) came onstage, I immediately recoiled from the energy he gave off. In this case, he pulled the part off perfectly and made me smile despite wanting to get as far away from him as possible. It truly was impressively well done, and Jimmy’s assistant (Sydney Loo) used her time onstage to the fullest, seeming scared and unsure after his mental breakdown and accidently reading Jimmy Vaudeville’s thoughts to the audience. any thoughts on this?
