By looking at the results and the comments, the majority of people from the audience enjoyed the show and were quite happy with it which is a great outcome however the main problem occurred was that the actors whom were not clear enough. When I attended rehearsals to observe how the actors were processing throughout the stages I had noticed many of them were excited unfortunately there were a few actors who had a bit of a stage fright. To help them I was able to give them advice to make them feel more comfortable, and they did however I presume with a large audience on the two nights they got more nervous than planned. In addition, in my opinion, I think that on the first day of the show many of the actors showed a little stage fright however by the second day they were much more comfortable. In conclusion I have learnt that 'practice makes perfect' is a perfect saying that intertwines well in this sort of situation. Next time when i undertake a similar task i will remember this so I can improve and result with a better show, which hopefully all the audience will be happy with.
