3 - One-act plays are different from chamber theatres with some similarities.

- One-act plays are shorter and only take place in one setting.

- One-act plays don't have narrators unlike chamber theatres.

2 - I find it interesting that one-act plays have limited characters.

- I also find it interesting that one-act plays are short, and everything is done in one setting.

1 - Can one-act plays be done with minimal dialogue?

3. It focuses on a single event/theme in time typically lasting from 15 minutes to an hour.

Characters wouldn't really move thar much in order not to ruin the mood of the play.

It has a basic structure of exposition, conflict, climax and denouement.

2. I find it interesting that it already exists during Anglo-Saxon period.

I find it interesting there could only be like two-three main characters.

1. How did they discover these medieval mystery plays during the Anglo-Saxon period?

3 - One thing that I've learned about the one-act play is that the characters specifically the actors doesn't need to switch from one place to another.

- The one-act play has a few similarities with the chamber theatre only that it has a limited time. It occurs acting but as from what I have heard they only stay at one place and has few characters to give the play more impact.

2 - I find it very interesting especially how it started during the medieval period and got evolve up until now and I'm not really sure if it is still observe but I love that fact that this is still recognized by many and hasn't been forgotten especially to the contribution of our ancestors.

1 - How do they set up the venue like I know it is all about simplicity but like specifically where especially during the medieval period?

3. One act plays are very short that only lasts about 15 minutes to an hour unlike Chamber Theater. It can also just take place in one setting without many movements, only minimal.

   
   

   2. - I find it interesting that one act plays have only limited characters.

- I find it interesting that the actors dont have to move from scene to scene unlike Chamber Theater.

1. Can one act play have narrators just like Chamber Theatre?

3. - Despite the time duration, it is still played with a beginning, middle, and end.

- The characters are limited in order for the play to be more effective.

- A single theme is the main emphasis of one-act plays.

2. - I find it interesting that the play can be held in just one venue.

- I find it interesting that this play has been revolving over the years and already existed during the medievial period.

3. What makes a good one-act play?

3 - The one-act play discussion taught me that it was characterized by simplicity, similar to chamber theater, but when performed, the duration was shorter than the full-play length. Furthermore, one-act plays consist of a single setting and a small cast of characters, and the actor or actress wouldn't really move that much from their place.

2 - I find one-act plays interesting because they convey the character in the story, depict the emotions, thoughts, and challenges or obstacles that the character confronts, similar to other acting plays.

1 - In the present day, does One-Play Act still perform with different themes? except for morality or biblical stories.

3. One act plays tend to be shorter than most performances

   -There tends to be not much action in these plays due to limited time and other factors

   -They also contain acts but focus on one single theme hence the name "one act plays"

2. I find it interesting just how well these plays work even with the short time given.

1. Why were one act plays developed?

3. I learned that one-act plays have limited players, have shorter time duration, and it only takes place in one place or settings.

2. I find interesting in one-act plays is that it has some similarities with chamber theatre, and that it started during mediecav period or the anglo saxon period.

1. What was the reason that one-act play was created?

3 - I have learned that one-act plays have a short duration of time, limited actors, and limited setting.

2 - I find it interesting that one-act plays managed to convey lessons and messages despite the limited time and setting. I also found it interesting that the actors manage to convey their roles as the characters of the story despite such limited time and setting.

1 - Is it alright if the narrators exceeds the number of actors? Or does it also have a limit? Or does one-act plays doesn't have any narrators?

3 - I learned about the definition of one-act plays, more specifically: I learned that it is a play typically held in only one place, has a single main theme, and most of the time, there are limited actors in order for the play to be more effective while their motion on set is usually minimal as well.

2 - I find it interesting how in just one setting and little time, the script given to the actors is intended to convey deep emotions, much like the usual plays that lasts more than one-act plays. I also find it interesting how it dates back to the medieval period and made its way to modern times--not just that but even as much as being included in some schools' curriculum.

1 - How important are one-act plays now in the present time?

3 - Three things I gained knowledge of from the lesson was that one: one-act plays focus more on emotions and how the actors play their characters, two: like chamber theatre, this type of play is very simplistic. And lastly: the different characteristics of a one-act play, like how it only has a limited amount of characters and that it only focuses on a singular theme.

2 - The two things I find interesting are the limited amount of characters, as well as how the whole play only has one theme. How one-act plays manage to capture the attention of the audience, considering it's more simplistic, truly amazes me.

1 - How does the cast make sure that the play becomes a success?

3. Three things that I learned about one-act plays are:

- They don't need to have a lot of actors compared to chamber theater.

- Most of them only one topic or theme.

- The scenes typically take place at only one location or setting.

2. Two things I find interesting about one-act plays are that they've existed for hundreds of years and how the mood and message of the play depends heavily on the script and actors.

1. What are some of the challenges that come with writing and performing in a one-act play, compared to chamber theater or a longer play?

3 Thing I Learned:

-A one-act play is a bit similar to a Chamber Theatre Performance. It utilizes only a few props and characters and is performed in a black box or a closed space.

-It started during the medieval times.

-The one-act play was known for its brevity, simpleness, and focus for a specific act/scene.

2 Things I find interesting:

-I find it interesting that they were able to preserve one-act play to this day despite the many years since it was first performed. What's more, it was also able to influence other countries to try it.

-Since most one-act plays focus only on one scene and is performed in a closed space, it even makes it more impressive, leaving great impact to the audience.

1 Question I have:

-Musical theatres, chamber performances, speech choirs, and a lot more other plays were developed to entertain or educate their audience. Why did the people who started one-act plays think that a one-act performance would be even more effective, considering that it focuses only one scene/act?

3 - Three things that I have learned about one-act plays are:

- I've learned that one-act plays are concise and typically shorter in duration compared to full-length plays.

- One-act plays only take place in a single setting.

- The plot or theme is straightforward and doesn't focus on complex subjects.

2 - Two things that I find interesting in one-act plays is probably its history and themes. I found it interesting that throughout the years one-act plays are still being practiced and used as entertainment. I also like how the themes in one-act plays are portrayed perfectly despite the limited characters and duration compared to most plays.

1 - What's the key to having a successful one-act play performance?

3 Things I Learned from the One-Act Play:

- The One-Act Play started in the medieval period and was a way to entertain people. Most of the theme used were about morality.

- It is similar to chamber theater because it is simple and focuses on how actors speak and act. In a One-Act Play, the story can start and end in the same place.

- Fewer actors are used in a One-Act Play compared to chamber theater. This avoids crowding the stage and helps the audience pay attention to important parts of the story.

2 Things I Found Interesting:

- I found it interesting that the whole play can happen in one place, with no need to change settings.

- I found it amazing how a good script can make the play feel magical.

1 Question I Have:

- When performing One-Act Play, how can you make sure it is interesting and successful?

1. I learned that One-Act play focused more on conveying the piece or story based on their facial expressions, the tone of their voices, gestures, and more. It has a similarity with chamber theatre, but one-act play only has one situation that is performed. For the audience to better understand the plot and details of the story in each scene.

2. One interesting thing that I find from one-act plays is the actors. Given the limited time for their performances on stage, actors can still manage to deliver their lines thoroughly, letting the flow of the plot and the message successfully reach to the audience with their talents.
