When I went to go see The Lion King on Broadway a few words came to mind after the play; amazing, stunning, and unbelievable! I was a little unsure at first, because I thought I was too young to see something from a Disney World production. I was also wondering how Disney was going to manage putting a film starring non-human characters, into a three-dimensional stage. However, using all their “Disney magic” with a little help from a great stage producer The Lion King Musical kept my attention all the way through with their; voice and diction, staging, and many other elements.

Wednesday, January 6, 2016, North Korea made an announcement that their hydrogen bomb testing was successful, resulting in “raised cries of indignation from the international community”. In the past the U.N had implemented sanctions against North Korea for continuing their development in nuclear weapons in 2006, 2009, 2013. Yet despite this, on Monday March 14, 2016, DPRK Today reported that a fifth test would be run and a new test involving ballistic missiles would also be included. Mr. Jongun had explained that the reason his country is now involving ballistic missiles is “. . . [so that] the warheads [are able] to survive heat and turbulence

On February 26th 2016, I went out with my friend to saw this event. It was the first time of my life to be in such production. I was not a fan of theaters. I thought they are boring. Now, my mind has changed because the play was amazing. So, on the next day,

I tried to imagine the home life some of them came from. As I attempted to look deeper, I wondered which

On November 5, 2016, the opening night of Beauty and the Beast for the gold cast performed on the vibrant stage of the Performing Arts Center in Cookeville. Under the direction and choreography of Jennifer Welch, the Children’s Theatre of Cookeville took on a Disney classic originally directed by the Tony-Nominated Robert Jess Roth. Filled with excitement due to the fact I knew many of the actors and actresses, I was throughly impressed from the acting, costumes, and set design just to name a few. This visual work of art, left not just people devoted to the “tale as old as time” casually humming show tunes as they left the theatre.

This past Wednesday, I embarked with my National Honor Society on a field trip to watch the performance of a Christmas classic, Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol. The performance was a stage musical performed by the cast of the La Comedia dinner theatre. Being a strong performer in the theatre and theatre enthusiast myself, I was excited to watch this Christmas classic come to life on stage. As a child, I made frequent visits to La Comedia with family members, so I find myself very familiar with this theatre. I have always found a love for the atmosphere of the theatre, the food provided, and the performances presented on the stage. At La Comedia, they claim to provide ‘a taste of Broadway’, which immediately sets the standards for each production. I have very high expectations for each performance I attend and this performance of A Christmas Carol did not disappoint. The actors of La Comedia definitely do not lack extraordinary talent, and the entire theatre staff sticks to traditions they have developed over time, giving the entire setting a wonderful, traditional ambiance. The La Comedia performance of A Christmas Carol did an exquisite job of bringing this story to life while sticking to the classic tale, with the additions of great songs from the Broadway version and the overall atmosphere and service provided for an entertaining event.

I could feel myself being happy and laughing. The time was running but I was too focused to care about it. The stage was full because it had a variety of characters. There was minimal use of props. The big circular shaped giant seemed real which was beautifully designed. The catchy thing about the show was a girl saying Chicken licken many times which was noticeable and I think it caught the audience attention. The costumes were also beautifully chosen. As I'm a girl, I liked the dresses that were used by the princess. There was also a sound of the sky falling and there was a bright lighting of the stage. The play was beautifully played. I was not distracted by the show even though it had many characters and ideas going on. The favorite casting of the play was Robert Willian as he was full of life and I could feel his love and dedication towards the show. He was funny and good at it. The play had a lot of stories going on which had suspense as well. This might have created kid hard to

The production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Stephen SOndheim. It took place at the Cabe Theatre on Hendrix Campus. This play was November 2nd through November 4th at 7:30 pm and also November 5th at 2:00 pm. At first this production was confusing and I really did not understand the concept of this play ,but as it began to develop I began to understand. I enjoyed the play it was very interesting and fierce. I am more of the type to like musicals over any other theatre. This production made me like musicals even more. The way this was presented was amazing and delightful. Im very happy that I attended this production.

I learned from this event that if it’s not something I would normally go see it’s hard to stay focused on what is going on. What I learned is that we at Niagara have a very talented theater department and a lot of people come to the plays here. Why was the important to me…honestly I needed to go to be able to write this event paper. The last play I went to see in my life was The Sound of Music at Shea’s in Buffalo; I loved it because I wanted to go.

I sat in a dark auditorium, watching the magic. Only three, I sat in those red, comfy seats watching as my music teacher mother directed the annual spring musical Singing in the Rain that was coming to life before my eyes. I squinted at the bright glow coming from the stage, not knowing whether it was from the lights or the actors. I was fascinated as the ordinary high school students seemed to transform into experienced, brilliant actors. That very moment started my love for musical theatre.

The reaction that I got from the Opera performance was surprised and exciting. I had never experiences a performance like that and was surprised. The voices of the singers/ actors was amazing and they took me back because it was not what I expected. The play had a story behind it and I was expecting a male or female standing on the stage singing, but this was much more. The meaning behind the performance was very intriguing. I would recommend this performance to anyone that would want to go to

There was not take many events that are saw on the website that interest me, so I attended the S.A.P event in the business administration building in room 1117. I am glad I choose the event because S.A.P is very beneficial for my major information systems, and most likely to graduate I will have to take S.A.P courses. The event started by the professors handing out sheets that would later help us out with out S.A.P assignment. We were all required to enter this software called V-lab which sent the current computers we using in an older version of Microsoft Windows. They had an older S.A.P game that couldn’t be play on the current version of Microsoft Windows 10. Once we were in V-lab the teachers began to inform us about what is about to happen

The spring show Broadway and Connections was on April 20th and 21st. My ballet class was in the first act, Broadway. We did our variation to the song “Music of the Night” from the musical Phantom of the Opera. We were the corps de ballet for the pas de deux. This paper is my critiques on my performance in this show after performing and seeing it on video. First, the focus is on my performance as a whole.

Overall, I really enjoyed the entire concert. I recognized many things that we discussed in class as well as the assigned text book. Some things that were related to class discussions were the various changes in lighting, use of motif, and in the importance of how costumes can reveal style, set location, and establish

For my second culture immersion project I went to eat at a Mexican restaurant. I went with my group members Ryan, Brian and Brian's girlfriend. I went this pass Tuesday after we had our group meeting. I don’t recall the name of the restaurant but I know it was downtown Appleton near by the Walgreens. . This was good choice for the project because I never have eaten at an actually Mexican restaurant before.
