About Me

Hi guys! I'm Caroline Fishbein. I'm a freshman and a day student. I did a couple of musicals in middle school and also do volleyball. I also was in chorus and concert choir for my school which was really fun. I live in Southington and went to Depaolo Middle School, which is one of the two public middle schools in the town. 

One interesting thing about me is that I absolutely love the musical Hamilton. I was introduced to the play at the end of sixth grade and have been addicted to the music ever since. The cast is so talented, and they really tell a story. I went to see the play with my mom and aunt in New York City on July 29th this past summer. It was awesome! The show was amazing, but I went to the stage door at the end of the show, and was in the front for the signatures. I got signatures 5 from some of my favorite people in the cast! It really was a dream come true!

I also have been playing volleyball for a little while now. I'm a beginner at the sport...I'm not that good. But I plan on working at trying to get better this year and hopefully will try out for the volleyball team here at Cheshire Academy next fall. I did a camp this summer at Cheshire High School to build some basic, fundamental skills. It also was a good confidence booster. I did it with a couple of friends of mine which also made it really fun. Attacking the ball is my favorite skill, so I enjoy working on that and all the other skills.

I am also my toughest critic. I seek perfection, which sometimes isn't a great thing. Sometimes, I drive myself crazy, in terms of studying or projects and homework assignments. I just want to do the absolute best that I can, so I guess that's where I get it from. That's why it's sometimes fun in theater to just be someone else, where I can forget all the responsibilities that I have. I use acting as an escape from the real world where there's so much going on. It allows me to relax and just have fun and it's what I really love doing.

This year, I really hope to just grow as an actress. I am ready to take on uncomfortable challenges and want to be outside my comfort zone. I want to pick up new skills that I haven't been taught before, and hopefully implement them in my performances. I really love musicals since I love singing and dancing, and I know how much of an impact they have on the audience. Theater not only brings me a lot of joy, it also brings other people joy. That is why I love being apart of the theater community.

Drug Overdose Monologue Reflection-Caroline Fishbein

During this unit, I decided to perform two very different monologues, the first being a comedy, and the second being a more dramatic scene. When I first started working on this most recent monologue, I knew I would have a lot of different ways of interpreting it. I think this monologue and the other monologue were equally different and challenging in their own ways. At first, in the most recent monologue, I didn't really have a clear idea as to who I was talking to or where to look. But, as I kept performing it, it became more natural to imply that there was a therapist sitting in front of me. But I also felt it was important to give the scene dimension by looking around as well as incorporating looking down to show sadness. In comparison from the first time I did this monologue, I really think it was an improvement. I had a clear focus (therapist), I felt comfortable using my hands, and I think it was a lot more believable since I used many different tones of voice, and built in ...

Mask Video

The first half of the video that I watched was the actual performance with the masks, the second half was what looked like them rehearsing without the masks. What was interesting is that, while performing, the actors really used their bodies to direct attention and show emotion/personality. For example, the disrespectful girls put their feet on the table to show that they are sloppy and rude and disregarding. What was also interesting was that the actors, when they weren't performing, would show their masks facial expression, even when they weren't wearing them. I didn't expect this. By practicing making the face of their mask, it probably helped them get into character for the actual performance. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGRi-pYV-4g
