Evaluation of Final performance I performed my final production on Tuesday the 13th of May 2019. I felt proud of the work I produced on my own and grateful of those fellow actors that agreed to help me in my aim of telling a compelling story. Without the help of Abdul and Jeremy my performance wouldn't of met the heights I hoped and planned for but luckily I had their god given help which propelled my performance to be a great one. Despite their being previous complication with the tech in my piece I was little worried during the performance that my tech wouldn't be at the level I imagined but everything went as rehearsed and how I imagined it  apart from the car crash scene at the beggining where the crash sound effect wasn't as loud as it was  supposed to be, however Jeremy and I carried and used are facial expression and body language to show something traumatic has happened.

The Bronx Tale is mainly focused on the Father and Son like relationship between two main protagonist , Calegero and the Italian Mob Boss Sonny. Taking  place in the 1960's Bronx , written by Chazz Palminteri.
