The Setting of “Sure Thing” by David Ivis is important in terms of setting the mood as well as the context for the play’s main conflict. “Sure Thing” is set in a café where the the two main characters, Bill and Betty, awkwardly encounter one another. During their encounter, a ring of a bell continues to disrupt their connection. Despite the ringing bell, or because of the ringing bell, the two characters are able to establish a connection. The fact that they are ultimately able to establish a connection suggests many thing about relationships, such as that timing can play a major role in either beginning or not beginning a relationship. For instance, the bell (and the bell’s timing) suggests that

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.

The play Wicked, written by American lyricist Stephen Schwartz, was a play that demonstrated several conflicts that a person went through during their lifetime. Elphaba, the protagonist, was born with green skin because of a choice that her mother made. She had to deal with the fear and the looks that people gave her because of her appearance. Elphaba dealt with the mockery of others during her years in school. When reading the play, one could compare Elphaba’s circumstances to discrimination or racism towards African Americans in the nineteen sixties. In college, she discovered that she had magical powers that she could use for good. The people in the town of Oz stereotyped her and assumed she was a witch who wanted to harm everyone because of her

“Naked Lunch” is a play written by Michael Hollinger that talks about a couple that has been drifting apart. Vernon tried to change his relationship with Lucy, and invite her to eat steak with him. As the play starts, Vernon sees that Lucy isn't eating; rather playing with the food. Vernon confronts her and she admits that she became a vegetarian after they have broken up. But, it was something she had been thinking about and wanted to do, even when she was in the relationship with Vernon. Throughout the play, Vernon thinks he was the reason why she became a vegetarian and tries to get Lucy to eat the meat. He starts making her feel like a joke for trying to fulfill the life she wants to live. Towards the end of the play, when

West Side Story is about a conflict between two rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, which comes to a head when Tony, a former Jets member, and Maria, the sister of the leader of the Sharks, fall in love. Although the play centers around Tony and Maria, the character of Anita (played by Karli Dinardo) caught my eye since she revealed her purple dress which was different from the reds of the Sharks and blues of the Jets and I found myself drawn to her in each scene she was present in. I also found myself drawn to members of the Sharks as I understood the racism they faced from members of the Jets, Officer Krupke, and Detective Schrank. The characters of Tony and Maria were actually the characters I didn’t really like as I saw them both as selfish.

Throughout William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, two teenagers fall in love. In the end, they kill themselves over one another. Between these two teenagers, only physical attraction was present. The “star-crossed” lovers faced many trials, and ultimately lost. The lack of Amor doomed Romeo and Juliet’s relationship.

This novel takes place primarily in the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, during the period of the 1980s to the 2000s. Renee and Rob both met there in a bar named the ‘Eastern Standard’ both at the age of twenty-three. He initially planned to keep his relationship to Charlottesville strictly one of host and guest. Both he and Renee didn’t really favor Charlottesville. Then life had another plan for Rob and it was to fall in love. The setting was also a crucial part in the story because it was a music thriving environment at the time and in Charlottesville. Also, it shows that it greatly influenced the connection that Renee and Rob made with each other. The setting

For the live theatre critique project I watched the Dearly Departed play. I watched this show at the Klein Oak High School auditorium and I watched it on November 9, 2015 at 7:00 P.M.

The original Little Shop of Horrors Book and lyrics was written by Howard Shaman and Music composed by Alan Menken. The horror comedy musical was based on a movie directed by Roger Corman. However, the student of St. Petersburg College Theater and director/ set design was by Scott Cooper. Scott Cooper and his crew did a good job transforming the stage to a downtown set call Skid Row. Therefore, the set had some social and cultural context as the homeless and young student was hanging out on the steps of buildings. This was an indication of the play writer using Comedy of Manners and Comedy of Character when the owner of the flower shop Urchins was chasing them from in front his store. The playwright was ridiculing individuals of this types and their social behaviors.

Well, I think it’s really like playing. Really very similar to how a kid plays, somehow. You’ve got so many toys around. Carol Dunham was in the studio a couple days ago, looking at this painting, and he said, “You know, it’s like you are in your playroom, and you are just picking up these different shapes and throwing them on the wall and then putting them together and seeing what kind of a game you can make out of them.” I think that’s pretty explanatory of what it feels like to make them—and very close to the kind of feeling that I want to get out of them and I think I want you to get out of them,

Godspell is originally produce for the first time Off-Broadway in 1976 by college students attending Carnegie Mellon University.The collaboration aming team members is what bright to life the Godspell play. Godspell highlight intrigue the audience to asked themselves, How would the Gospel look like if jesus showed up to a group of theatrical clowns. The content of the Godspell is based on biblical context. Is composed of anecdotes told throughout the Gospels. Moreover the play is organized in two parts. First it starts of with many lessons in a particular order from the begining of Jesus’ministry. The stories are told and acted out among members like a live movie on stage. Jesus is portray as a an teacher also his role is to analogy of a clown.

For my Point of view of the early civil rights movement i’ve chosen Mama from A Raisin in the Sun. During the play Mama talks about how she and her husband spent their time striving for freedom while her children seemed to care more about money. She talks about how they spent their time trying to escape the south. So I don't think she would be surprised at this but she would probably be faced with memories of the trauma she had to deal with and be especially fearful when thinking about her own family especially since the boy was from Chicago where she lives at the time. Though i do think she would still be devastated nonetheless by the image of Tillerson’s face.

On October 19th, 2017, I had the honor to attend the Indiana State University production of A Piece of My Heart. This play could be considered a historical documentary and was full of drama, thrill, and action. A Piece of My Heart was originally written by Shirley Lauro, a very popular play writer with many other well-known plays. The play was based around 6 extremely strong and opinionated women who were sent to the Vietnam War to either help or entertain the American Men. Consisting of 5 army nurses, one country singer, and multiple different army men the production was able to provide a full understanding of how life was in Vietnam during the war. This play was performed by Indiana State University students.
