The first act is about how the Russians are amazed by a rumor that caused everyone to believe that Anastasia may have survived the Bolshevik attacks that had killed her entire family. Two wanted con men, Dimitri and Vlad Popov, hear the rumors and decide to do “the biggest con in history”, in which they will find a girl to portray as Anastasia in order to win the reward from the Dowager Empress, Anastasia’s grandmother. Dimitri and Vlad, hold auditions which turned unsuccessful for their plan at the theater in the abandoned Yusupov Palace, where Anastasia’s family had lived. After they had finished and lost all hope, a young woman named Anya approaches them to ask Dimitri about paperwork so she can get tickets for Paris. Vlad and Dimitri dismiss

Broward College, Central Campus Theater in building 6, on Sunday, the 1st of November. The play was performed by Broward College students. The type of stage was Proscenium stage with extended apron. I thought it was a little bit small, but it did not show as a problem. The pre-show was dark and a feel of suspense. I felt excited to see how everything would play out. The play takes place down south of Chicago in the 1950’s.

For our critiquing assignment in our Introduction to Stagecraft 1, I ventured to downtown Toronto, to a small indie theatre called, The Unit 102 Theatre. There I saw the production of MISS; written by Dora Award-nominated playwright Michael Ross Albert who wrote such works as Tough Jews, The Spadina Avenue Gang with the Storefront Theatre. The set takes place in the aftermath of a shocking accident in a boarding school classroom, the story explores the tenuous connection between a high school teacher, her fiance, and a troubled student whose lives have been irrevocably changed by tragedy caused by a miscarriage, an affair, and the fear of the consequences that are not yet revealed, and finally, murder. This is a one act showdown between three

Anastasia had four siblings while growing up; she had three older sisters named Olga, Tatiana, and Marie and she had a younger brother named Alexei, who was heir to the throne (Biography 1). Her sister Olga was born on November 16, 1895 and her sister Tatiana was born on June 10, 1897 (Fleming 36, 39). Olga and Tatiana were cared for by their mother’s lady-in-waiting (Biography 1). Her sister Marie was born on June 26, 1899 and her brother Alexei was born on August 12, 1904 (Fleming 41, 53). Alexei was the Grand Duke and the Sovereign Heir Tsarevich of Russia (53). When Alexi was born, he had blond curly hair and blue eyes (Englar 16). Alexei was a hemophiliac and so his blood did not clot properly and even a minor cut could take hours or even days to stop bleeding, but the biggest danger came from minor blows that might or might not start a slow oozing of blood beneath the skin that flowed for hours or even days into surrounding muscles and joints (Fleming 54). Olga and Tatiana were called “the Big Pair” by their parents (Fleming 45). Nineteen year old Olga and seventeen year old Tatiana enrolled in nursing courses with their mother and after two months of intense training, they earned their nursing certificates as well as the right to wear the Red Cross uniform (138-139). Anastasia had siblings while she was growing up and she was the second youngest child out of all her

The plot of this play centered around the family of Alice Sycamore. The Sycamore family includes Alice Sycamore, her parents Penny and Paul Sycamore, her sister and her sister’s husband, Essie and Ed Carmichael, and Grandpa Martin Vanderhof. The family is extremely eccentric to say the least. They are a crazy bunch by many people’s standards. They do things like eat watermelon and cornflakes for dinner, make fireworks in the basement, own a pet snake, and constantly have the house packed with interesting characters. Some of the other characters in the play are Donald and Rheba who work for the Sycamores, the Russian dance teacher of Essie named Mr. Kolenkhov, and the confidant of Paul Sycamore, Mr. De Pinna. Each character is developed with many unique traits, each having their quirks and nontraditional hobbies. Essie has a passion for ballet despite the fact that she is awful after 8 years of

The Young Woman has all of her decisions made for her, and the machine noises playing in the background represent the anxiety and uncomfortable energy growing inside of her. The Young Woman marries a man she does not love, gives birth to a child she does not want, and has an affair with a man she can never have. Gender inequality factors into all of these obstacles the Young Woman dealt with throughout the play. Finally, unjust punishment is a theme because the Young Woman is sentenced to death for murdering her husband. Unfortunately, the society she lived in failed to understand that the Young Woman did not want to conform to its mechanicalized way of life.

Newberry College’s theater department intends to produce one of three plays: “Trifles”, “Andre’s Mother”, or “Los Vendidos”. The department wants a play that is entertaining, but that will also give the audience the chance to challenge their thinking. Of those three plays, Newberry College’s theater department should produce “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell.

In the middle of the night, Myra recovered consciousness and decided to go to Knowleton’s bedroom. Midway there she heard her fiancée complaining and decided to discover what he was doing. She recognized his parents, but there was something weird. They were talking about the bills they would have to pay because of everything they made up: the portraits, the poodles, the actors. Myra discovered that all she had been through was a play to see if she was after his money.

First of all, the story was little difficult to understand. The first impression of tone in the story was sadness and shocked but it was also a mysterious. For example, the first name of the main character, Mrs. Mallard, is not mentioned until towards the end of the story when her sister, Josephine, was begging her sister to open the door. “Louise, open the door! I beg, open the door – you will make yourself ill. What are you doing Louise?” (170). The first name is a mystery till the end of the story because Chopin wants to emphasize her characteristic as a weak housewife and the exciting moment when she is alone in her room. The most mysterious moment, the biggest one of the story, was what is it that really killed Mrs. Mallard? Was it a heart attack from joy of seeing her husband alive? Or was she horribly disappointed of not being free?

This play was directed by Rick Lombardo and performed in the Howard Logan Stillwell Theater on the KSU campus. The play is follows the lives of three sisters who had lost their father and have moved far from the city they loved. They hope that one day they will be able to return to Moscow, but the play starts out with them in rural russia. The three sisters live with their brother, Andrey, who spends a lot of his time studying downstairs. They oldest sister, Olga, is a teacher who seems to be the most mature of the three. The middle child, Masha, is married to a school teacher named Kulygin. She eventually has an affair with a military man named Vershinin, but this affair doesn’t end well. The youngest child, Irina, seems very optimistic and

The story immediately begins with the news of Brently Mallard’s death at the railroad and the reader follows his wife Louise throughout her reactions and revelations. At the thought of a significant other passing away, most people would be devastated, and this was the initial reaction of Louise. Chopin creates a very somber tone by her choice of diction. She describes Louise’s reaction as a “storm of grief,” creating this all-consuming sense of sorrow. The sorrowful tone only lasts for a brief moment until Louise came upon a realization.

First, Tevye and his family were preparing a meal for celebrating Sabbath day, while Yente, matchmaker, came in with news of a wealthy butcher, Lazar Wolf, that wants to marry his eldest daughter, Tzeitel. Next, Tevye agrees with it, but Tzeitel does not want to marry Lazar Wolf because she is in love with Motel, which is her friend from her childhood. Then, Motel came back and told Tevye that he is in love with Tzeitel and that they already gave a pledge to marry each other. Tevye was impressed with what Motel had said and agreed Motel and Tzeitel’s marriage. A few months later, Perchik, a radical student, tells Hodel, Tevye’s second-oldest daughter, that he need to return to Kiev and he proposes a marriage. When Perchik left, there were rumors

As the Tsar Alexander II began his reforms by helping the serfs pay their way out of debt, things for noble families began to change. This change in family dynamics affected Vera through her young life. Vera like many others in noble families grew bored and disconnected with their lives. “Time passed at a slow uneventful pace. They dragged on-monotonous, painful full of leaden-gray anguish.”

The stereotypical gender roles seem to be evident in Ukraine which would suggest theoretically that Anastasiya’s mother and grandmother take primal care of her while her step-father and her grandmother’s partner would be the families
