Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1- Feb 27, 10:10pm, Dutch Treats

2- The door to the store bumps open and closes every so often as students exit or enter, plastic bags rustle as items are put in them, a general hum of conversation

3- The refrigerated display hums loudly, the mini oven of the sandwich place beeps to signify something is done warming, a worker is fussing with some food items – perhaps cutting something (it is difficult to tell by sound what exactly he is doing due to the incessant humming of the refrigerator)

4- The squeaking of shoes and crinkling of chip bags as people shift in line, I can hear several more distinct conversations regarding/complaining about how long the line is, that it is “taking forever” and that they should open up the second register.

5- The general sound level is at a medium high – the “background” noises are loud, making things a little more indistinct. The sound activity is also about a medium high

6- Impatient

7- the more distinct conversations about the checkout line, the humming of the refrigerator, and the rustling of the people waiting in line
