It is designed in a way to present the life of a low-income person or family. It might be an online-based game but it has a lot of connection with the real life scenarios. Based on my experience of playing this game, it is a game that requires critical to make each and every decision in various scenarios. During the game, I couldn’t understand it is something I am doing online rather; it is designed in a way that made me feel I am actually making the decisions in my real life. This game can easily pursue someone to think about the reason behind poverty and the life of people with poverty. Moving on to

The origin of this novel stems from a time with great attitude changes within the African-American way of life. Tensions between gender specifically had begun to emerge, women, who were thought of as subservient, belonging to the house as well as to their husbands. During the timeframe of this story, women had been beginning to emerge with dignity, grace, and authority. The play takes place in Pittsburgh, during the 1950’s when the gap between genders had been shrinking, as women had been introduced further into society as more than just mothers. To most, this diminishing gap, to most would be a seamless concept, however, to the characters of this play would be a deciding factor for many conflicting scenes. The main characters of this play

I will be honest with you I had a lot of trouble enjoying the play, like I said the dialect gave me trouble, plus my seats were not that great. I did however like the movie quite a bit, but I realize I am a product of a different generation as well. I have been brought up around TV and movies rather than plays

The family is faced with conflicts, particularly amongst the siblings as they seek to establish whose dream is superior. It becomes more difficult for Lena to make the right decision in the midst of the conflict because her wish is to please everyone. The play is about the black family that struggles with racial prejudice and economic hardship. The underlying importance of the play is in the way it shows the value of dreams, importance of family, and racial discrimination.

The theme of gender is presented to the audience as dramatic irony as well, since this play was written in 1912, the play shows how women were in that certain period of time, they didn’t have as many rights, they weren’t treated equally with men, in fact they were seen to be lower than men. However in the time that this play was written which is 1945 women had a lot more rights due to the fact that when men left the country for war, which according to Mr.Birling wasn’t supposed to happen, all the women were the people who looked after the country and kept it going, women became more interdependent and the society just grew and became a lot more open minded with their thoughts. JB Priestly has tried to show the importance of women in the play as well in the play as well at some places but very indirectly, like in that part where the inspector says, “There are a lot of young women living that sort of existence in every city and big towns in this

This play was an inspiring and motivational. I had a deep connection with this play by how they portray the Tuskegee airmen and the difficulties they faced in their time. They had to earn the respect from their peers. They have many challenges they have to face to accomplish this goal. many African Americans faced many government difficulties later on in the 1960’s leading to the Civil Right movement. Where many African Americans fought equality. In today’s society, there is much racial discrimination we face today. There are many tragic stories where cops killed innocent black teens. With a lot of killing of young African men, a group is developing for the protection for African Americans.

The beginning of the play was very interesting in several ways. Firstly, the choice of dialect took me surprise because of its vulgar nature. I personally enjoyed the use of speech because I find it interesting when people use words freely when they are normally looked down upon. The music that was played gave made another strong impression on me. The title of the song was Bonfire by Childish Gambino, and it set a very interesting mood. It definitely took me by surprise and I did not know how to react in that situation. I just stared with my mouth open and tried to figure out why that song was being played. Another thing that I found interesting was when the actors put makeup and different clothes on in front of us. Seeing the actors start changing into new characters right in front of me made me very intrigued about how people can break the socially constructed ideas of how theatre works.

Research for The Laramie Project, Moises Kaufman's nationally successful play, began one month after a horrific crime occurred in Laramie, Wyoming. Members of Kaufman's theatrical group, Tectonic Theater Project, travelled to the open ranges of the West in order to gather in-person interviews from Laramie's populace. The purpose was to capture the emotions, reflections, and reactions of the people who were most closely and personally associated to the crime—the brutal beating and subsequent death of a young gay college student named Matthew Shepard. This incidence had become a national symbol of the struggle against intolerance and brought attention to the lack of hate crime laws in the U.S. One of the most powerful “moments” in the play was “Dennis Shepard’s Statement” in which Matthew’s father delivered a moving and very

The focus on the typical american family, making them lean towards the culture of african americans. In the play the problems that our cast has to face, is very similar to the same problems that the african americans today have to face. What i mean is by racism they are mistreated in the play and even today racism still exist. But the way that they CULTURALLY represent african americans, is the way they are portrayed and the paraphrasing in speech

On November 20th, 2015, I went and saw The Circle held on the first floor of Hugh Gills Hall at San Jose State. The work was written by David Eggers, and directed by Jessa Brie Moreno and Joshua Marx. The play is about a company called “The Circle” that develops surveillance technology. Throughout the play, the audience can interact with actors and the setting in order to learn more about the company and as it progresses. It focuses on the three founders (played by Vincent Macareno, Elizabeth Gibbons, and Kevin Jasper). One character, Mae Holland (played by Jessica Osegueda), is primarily looked upon during the play as she is caught breaking the law. As the play continues, Mae’s journey is documented from being tentatively accepting of the

Going to watch my first ever play for a studio one act was a different experience that what I had imagined. I was not expecting the theatre to be smaller in size and it be like a big regular theatre. The theatre in this case was a box shaped and the stage was in the middle of the floor instead in front of the audience. The lights I thought would come as a problem as they might be shined into our eyes but they were never on the audience which was surprising to me. Also the actors and actresses has a good amount of space to act.

A couple of the many themes that this play explores is the theme of humanity’s behaviors towards one another and responsibility. How does ones fear become clear or obvious? At what point are we able to make logical justifications when face to face with fear? When confronted with an institutionalized system that takes away all of your rights, would an individual or group of people realize the importance of other acts of prejudice or discrimination? Would this injustice trigger one to act? Would this injustice trigger others who are not affected to act? The destiny of these group of men are determined in a short amount of time. But these moments, filled with tension, uncertainty, and

On November 16th, I attended the Rollins College theatrical production of Sense and Sensibility. To preface, I particularly enjoyed this play and the romantic storyline that was elegantly portrayed by the wonderful actors and actresses. Like many other plays I’ve seen, this one was quite hard to follow at the beginning, as I had no clue where the story was taking off, but about 15 minutes into it, I began to realize the storyline that was developing. Additionally, I appreciated the “happily ever after” ending, as I felt like the story was going to end in heartbreak. In discussion of the ethical issues within the play I will delve into the aspects of greed, selfishness, and betrayal. Thus I’ll explore the ideals of greed within the play.

How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying has many musical number that have have the theme with the lyrics, so I have decided to do Music for my element of Drama.For example when the cast starts singing “where the company put me, there I stay” is show that people get comfortable in the workforce, and never try to get it higher position unless they are told to. The music in the play also help set the mood of the scene. J.B Bigly and Finch sing the Old Ivy song and set the mood for excitement. The song her say Rip over and over again show how in the business world people are willing to do anything in their power to destroy their rival. “Happy to Keep his Dinner Warm” to was very fitting for era, because women were expected to keep their

The theme of the play has a sense of nationality and or slavery which is still relatable today. Seeing that being displayed in a creative way into a play was just outstanding. To illustrate, Moses was suppose to be grouped into slavery or low class, but has lived like a prince.
