Comments:
Aman- great vocal strategies and facial expressions and gestures.
Parm- good variance of voice and facial expression and gestures.
Arun- good variance of voice, but facial expression need to be more reflective of character.
Niraj- excellent facial expressions!
Props didnt clearly match the theme (high school).
Script is fairly well written. However, some additions in the first scene didnt align with the plot. In the third scene,
Juliet should be more upset that Romeo is living. Make use of the entire stage. The group only used center to left stage.
