Love Bomb : The Musical, Produced By Donna Spencer And Directed By Renee Iaci

This play allowed people to visually see the real-life effects of what it would be like to be sexually assaulted. The effects of what happens to the surrounding people within the community is also shown in the play. The play allows people to further understand the universal message of taking the proper steps to prevent sexual assaults from occurring. If proper preventative steps would have been taken, then Chloe would not be living as a sexual assault victim whose sexual assault was filmed and posted on social media for everyone to see. The play allowed people to see the horrible effects of phones and social media by showing how those two things ruined multiple peoples life. The play was worth doing, because if showed the effects of social media and the effects of sexual

Nancy Clutter, the sixteen year old daughter of Herb Clutter, is awaken by a phone call. This call is from a local woman, Mrs. Katz, who 's daughter wishes Nancy would teach her how to make a cherry pie. Nancy, after all, was the blue ribbon winner and cherry pie competition winner. Nancy is a very busy girl, and will be overbooked with the addition of this task to her daily agenda. She already had to help a neighbor with a trumpet solo, promised her mother she’d run errands for her, and attend a 4-H meeting in neighboring Garden City. But, after a quick rearrangement she makes time. Nancy had a steady boyfriend, Bobby Rupp, in which her father liked, but he wished they’d slowly cut things off to avoid the eventual heartbreak. Susan (Sue) Kidwell, Nancy’s best friend, calls later and they discuss Nancy’s night out on the previous night. She had gone out late with Bobby after her performance in Tom Sawyer.

When he turns seventeen years old, Bobby meets and falls in love with a girl called Gwen. She gives him a sense of identity and belonging he missed his entire life. During the same time he learns

The stage performance of Chicago offered a spectacle that I expected before attending the show. I knew there was going to be scantly clad girls with dark makeup and saucy attitudes. The performers brought to life all that was raunchy in the entertainment business during the roaring twenties. The lifestyle in Chicago featured jazz, booze, sex and crime. More importantly, Chicago had beautiful, young women with the dream of having their own Vaudeville act. The two main female characters, Velma and Roxy were two such women hoping to capture the public's attention. The composition of the show is a metaphoric integration of Vaudeville type acts amongst the book scenes and diegetic musical numbers.

But where the story began to take a turn was when Marla, the woman that he met in the support groups, called and stated she was in the process of committing suicide. He pretty much blew her off when Tyler took the initiative to go to her apartment where he becomes her coping mechanism by using sex. But while the narrator (Edward) thinks that he is having some sort of nightmare not understanding it is actual reality. Then noticing the tension between the two the narrator states that they Marla and Tyler remind him of his parent because he never sees them in the same place at once. The only time that they spent in the same room was during sexual intercourse. He narrator was jealous because of the way he felt for Marla, but just too afraid to express it because she was already sleeping with Tyler. This is why the tension was so high.

There is a saying that I always heard growing up is “If the love is true then it will always come back”. It all started in 1981 before I was though of, in Los Angeles, California a big city with people with big dreams. Monica and her family moved next door to Quincy McCall, a boy who loved basketball as much as she did. Love and Basketball was a movie I grew up on and I wanted to live my life just like they did. They were childhood friends that live next door to each other and started to catch feelings for each other. They grow up grow apart for a little while found new people, but never lost their love for each other. In the end they got back together and showed us that the love was true so they found their way back to each other.

Homosexuality had become increasingly accepted in many forms, and had survived the AIDS crisis that had so began with decimating its population. The main character Cliff would have more of a focus in this re-adaptation, his own “sexual past” with others, known to be “slow with women” due to his clear “attract[ion] to men.” The musical itself also demonstrated a much more overt sexuality; with the Emcee, played by Alan Cumming, displaying “sexual exhibitionism” with groping other actors, himself, and using “pelvic thrusts and groin movement[s]” to radicalize the musical even further to create an atmosphere that suited their present context and drew the audience into the story, even through uncomforting them with such behavior. This musical, one of the most recent adaptations of Isherwood’s original work, certainly creates a connection between the time of its creation and the context it acts out, with the sexual overtones of recent years receding in the finale of the musical, as the Emcee reveals his concentration camp uniform that beings audiences to difficult realizations of how possible such atrocities did and still can occur

On the evening of July 27th, I attended a production of “Carrie: The Musical” based on the novel “Carrie” by Stephen King. The musical was performed by Near West Theater in Cleveland and directed by Devon Turchan. The main character who name is Carrie White is an outcast through the entire play and her entire life you learn this when the other students talk about past experiences with Carrie. The main antagonist in the play is her very own mother Margaret White. Ms.White is a very religious woman that wants to protect Carrie from the dangers in the world and even herself, very overprotective women and to what I believe very crazy. The plot is brought to life by supporting characters/actors in the play who names are Sue Nell, Tommy Ross, Chris Hargensen, Billy Nolan, Miss Gardner. The actions of all these people building up and resting on carrier shoulders throughout the play cause her to find out she has powers. The end of Act II is when everything comes together Carrie who was invited to the prom by Tommy Ross in a generous gesture that was purposed by Sue Nell. The prom was going very well and Carrie was becoming carefree and was seeing everything she missed out on. Things took things for the worse when Chris and Tommy pour pigs blood on her when she won prom queen. Carrie took all the frustration and years of bullying and the powers she found out about she burned everyone alive at the prom. When she got home she was covered in blood and was crying her very own mom took

Lynn Nottage’s play, “Ruined”, is an eye-opening story that takes place in the Democratic Republic of Congo during the Civil War. The play is centered around women who have been sexually abused, and are living and working in a brothel owned by the protagonist Mama Nadi. The play gives deep insight to the hardships women had to go through during that time. The play is a melodrama and a great example of a contemporary version of realism. This play also illustrates three important characteristics of storytelling we discussed in class: stories teach, stories allow us to personalize issues, and stories build compassion.

The story is told from his point of view thus allowing one to see how he talks about Christina and Stella to his ex-wife and "She," the paramour whom he now lives with.

The tramp in the film works hard to upkeep the illusion of his wealth for the flower girl wanting to be someone for her so that he may keep her. Actions such as giving her a ride home, buying all her flowers for the day, and bring her groceries indicate he would do anything for her. In the final scenes we witness the flower girl trying to give him money however, he does not take notice due to the fact he is in awe of seeing her. The roles have now reversed. The tramp is no longer in the caring position for her, but now that she has her sight back and a business she can take care of him, which is shown in the money she tries to give him. In what feels like an instant their social roles have drastically changed. The tramps true self is reviled,

Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize winning play Ruined takes place at Mama Nadi’s brothel in the Congo where a civil war is being waged and coltan is the new gold being mined from the earth. Mama Nadi reluctantly takes Sophie and Salima into her establishment to work alongside Josephine as entertainment for miners and soldiers. Before coming to Mama Nadi’s, Sophie, Josephine, Salima all experienced rape. The word rape is so common in our society that it has lost its intensity and heinousness to a person who has not experienced it. Rape is a general term to describe what the women experienced but it does not give any hint to the struggle that comes after the event. For example, what it does to a person’s mind, the lasting scars on someone’s body, and how it can change a person’s personality. Many critics assume that rape is the tragedy in the play, but Nottage’s use of the word “ruined” emphasizes that the real tragedy is the consequences of those soldier’s actions on these women 's lives and how it affected their interactions with society.

In John Patrick Shanley’s play, “Doubt: A Parable”, and Paula Vogel’s play, “How I Learned to Drive”, both have strong themes of sexuality in the forms of sexual predation and pedophilia. Although these two stories are considerably different, the message is the same. “Doubt” is a play that concerns a mystery over whether or not a boy (Donald) has been raped by a priest, and “How I learned to Drive” is a play about a woman (Li’l Bit) who reminisces about the sexual molestation and the emotional manipulation she had to endure at the hands of her uncle. Although these plays both have main theme of sexuality, they each have vastly different settings, desires, and outcomes. In this essay, I will compare and contrast the theme of sexuality in both of these plays.
