The Keswick Theater was graced to host the Cindy Lauper, “She Is So Unusual 30th Anniversary Tour,” this Friday Nov. 15th.. Indeed it was a night where “Fans Just Want to have Fun,” was the operative and we certainly did!
The Keswick is located in downtown Glenside. The seating is comfortable and the acoustics the very best. There are a number of decent restaurants and a great coffee shop. Come a little early and hang out in the coffee shop and many times you can catch the band getting some hot brew. I'd recommend you arrive about 45 minutes prior to the show so parking is not a challenge. The Theater was designed by the famous architect Horace Trumbauer and some of it's original grandeur has been preserved. It is dead center

All shows have some folks who; can't be quite, can't stop using the flash on their camera, can't stop taping or who get into the artist personal space. We had them all and she did not need security, she tore them a new butt, again with New York humor. In ,I hope, an unusual situation we had some folks at each other about standing, dancing and singing. I don't know why you would come to a Cindy Lauper concert if you wanted to sit pensive in your seat, however, we had a few. When she saw the altercation, she stopped the show, walked down to the folks involved, separated them, told the young folks who were dancing to please join the folks to the right and told the two guys to please stow it and I quote, “ We are here to have fun, celebrate times in our lives and have a sense of community.” It worked ,she got a standing ovation and back she went to the show, “He's So Unusual.” sort of described the situation.
The night had some very special moments when Eric Bazalian joined the group to a rousing ovation for “Time After Time,” “Yeah Yeah,” and “ True Colors.” His exuberance accompanied by a infectious smile captured the fans and he blew us away on the sax, guitar and his signature melodica. We also were treated to a full night of Bob Hyman (Hooters) on guitar along with Bette Sussman on keyboards, William Whitman on bass, Scooter Warer on drums and Keith Mak on guitar. A fine band who Cindy conducted like a symphony orchestra while dancing strutting, jumping and
Lively theatre is a live production that never stops. Lively theatre can happen anywhere. Lively theatre can be displayed when you're having a conversation with friends or even when you're speaking to your teacher. Lively theatre can make you think, be vulnerable, and can bring out emotions that you did not realize you had or was felt about a particular subject. Just like in a production , lively theatre has a plot , lighting, costumes, makeup and many other aspects. There is always a stage around us whether it is the classroom, house, in your car, and many other places. Our conversations and dialogue can be categorized as a specific type of genre. A conversation could make someone possibly laugh, cry, empathize so, just like actors and actresses , we can affect someone's mood in a instance.
The set used for Vernon God Little was highly symbolic and simplistic; when we walked into the theatre we could visually see that there were flowers, cards and memorable items attached on the audiences seats above our heads, which already created a sombre atmosphere around the theatre.
The center I chose to observe was the dramatic play center which is a kitchen. I chose this center because because it's a great way to observe children. The purpose of the dramatic play center is to help develop social, emotional and oral language skills. It gives children a chance to assign roles, self regulate when having to take turns and during all of this children are developing language skills.
Theatre is a collaboration of various forms of fine art which utilizes live performances presenting before the audience on a stage at a specific place within a scheduled time (Dugdale 10). The message is communicated through a combination of various channels like songs, speech gestures or dances. Stagecraft skills are combined with elements of art to make the performance more physical and near to real life experience. Theatre is categorized broadly into drama, musical theatre, comedy, tragedy and improvisation. Any form of these accepts integration of various production modes and collective reception to influence the artwork being presented. As a result of this cooperation of items in the theatre
A Beautiful Life written by Michael Futcher and Helen Howard in 1998 is a brave piece of contemporary Australian Theatre, exploring the controversial and much debated issue of immigration in Australia, while providing a highly symbolic, poignant and emotional experience for the audience. This play is based on the memories of an Iranian refugee (Hamid), his wife (Jhila) and their son (Amir) who settled in Australia in the 1980s, focusing on how their cultural background ultimately leads to their persecution by the Australian Government. As this play is told from their perspective, the audience is encouraged to empathise with the plight of refugees in Australia. Through the use of many interesting theatrical techniques, such
On Friday night, November 13, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. I attended the Manhattan School of Music for the Jazz Orchestra that performed by Jazz vocalists and MSM alumni Jane Monheit and many other musicians. That place is unlikely the ordinary place, people have appropriate dress on and have nicely etiquette toward the performers, unlike me, many of audiences seem like that they come to this concert with certain knowledge of Jazz orchestra. And its musical venue was the ideal spot for the concert, so I sat in a decent spot spot that located at midst of the concert hall where I can view all the performers and hear performers’ music clearly. And the conductor informally began the show was quite nicely and politely which made me feel really comfortable
Over the course of approximately one-hundred years there has been a discernible metamorphosis within the realm of African-American cinema. African-Americans have overcome the heavy weight of oppression in forms such as of politics, citizenship and most importantly equal human rights. One of the most evident forms that were withheld from African-Americans came in the structure of the performing arts; specifically film. The common population did not allow blacks to drink from the same water fountain let alone share the same television waves or stage. But over time the strength of the expectant black actors and actresses overwhelmed the majority force to stop blacks from appearing on film. For the longest time the performing arts were
Twang! Tee-Hee! That’s a pretty good explanation of my time at my concert. The winter of 2014, I went to a Dailey & Vincent Concert. It was a Christmas concert, and it was joyous. Dailey & Vincent are a Christian Bluegrass band that are probably the funniest people in the Bluegrass community. They are hilarious!
It wasn’t until the 1950s, and the rise of the modern movie theater, that the Tivoli Theater began to experience decline. The classic films and theater performances couldn’t match the entertainment value that the modern movie theater provided. By the early 60s, the Tivoli Theater, then owned by Eastenn Theaters Inc., was on a consistent downhill spiral. Rumors were circulating around Eastenn Theaters potentially shutting down the Tivoli in order to use the space in more needed ways. After many rumors circulated, the Tivoli Theater would turn off its lights in August of 1961 after showing Snow White and the Three Stooges as the theaters final film for the foreseeable future.
These concert goers enjoyed no rules, drug use, sex, and loud rock music. Some of the best known artists from this concert were; Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Sly & the Family Stone, and Jefferson Airplane.

For the past 9 years, I have been a volunteer the Abilene Community Theatre. During that time I have learned many things that normally take years to lean. For that reason, I will be creating an app for them, as a thank you to the patrons and the volunteers. This app will hold many features that they will find useful. Some of those things will include upcoming events, a place for donations, and a chat for current volunteers.
My first reaction to this paper was interest to read what Aaron wrote about the Fiske Theatre because I am also familiar with this theatre and liked to read how he viewed it.
In the next two months we plan to visit the theatrical districts of New York including Broadway, Off Broadway and Off & Off Broadway to watch four plays with my three friends. The need to travel there is to learn more about theatre, its people, its places and processes in a first hand and direct manner. This will go a long in improving our academics and theatre knowledge. Secondly, it will help us to bond more as we discuss the plays and at the same time give us a deserved break from the usual routines. We have a budget of approximately 800 dollars which caters for return tickets on low cost airlines ($300), two nights’ accommodation in a hostel which is cheaper than hotels ($100), two plays at Broadway ($200),
There have been many dramatic plays over the centuries. Many of these plays have died in their time, while others have lived on. What makes these plays endure time and continue to be influential over time? Perhaps it is the storyline or the interesting nature of the play is what makes these dramas last. I think that it is the focus on human nature and its essential truths that keep these plays alive. Most of the plays, still enacted in theaters today, deal with social issues that people can learn from and relate to.
