Review Of The Play 'Friday Night Lights'

I decided for my play review that I would go see Mary Poppins The Broadway Musical at the Jefferson Davis Fine Arts building this past weekend. The play is based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney Film; the original music was by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, the book written by Julian Fellowes, and the co-creator of the original was Cameron Mackintosh.

This week in class, we presented our revised challenge statements. I was extremely glad to have someone critique my revised challenge statement, as I was unsure about the changes I had made.

I believe my character is identical to Drew’s. Drew was a determined student, like me. Throughout high school, I have participated in many activities to enhance my education. I took engineering APEX class, formally CAPS, as a junior. I am also finishing School-to-Work this year. My School-to-Work internship is at an engineering firm called HR Green. I was accepted into National Honor Society as a junior and I have been on the honor roll throughout all of high school.

On November 4th, 2016, my best friend and I went to see the play at the Charles Winter Wood Theatre. This play is set during the 1950s, and the scene takes place in a night club in Chicago. This play was sponsored by FAMU’s Essential Theatre, and it was quite entertaining. It presents realistic situations such as the affairs, jealously, and debt in relationships. The director, Maurice Kitchen, wrote this play to present the Black artists who used their talent to escape the difficulties they have faced. The main character, Billy Gamble, was a show host and performer, who used his patients with musical talents to be on his show. Important aspects seen in the play were love and fame. The musicians expressed their feelings within their music.

There were two historical periods within the performance: Modern Era; “I Remember it Well” and “Bosom Buddies,” and after the Modern Era; “Secondary Character,” “Adelaide’s Lament,” “Bring Him Home,” “When You’re an Addams,” “It’s a Hard Knock Life,” “I Think I Got you Beat,” “Fifty Percent,” “Lily’s Eyes,” “A Musical,” and I am not sure for “Prologue/ Any Dreams Will Do”

While the GDS theater program is renowned for taking some great risks in the past by performing controversial pieces that were enjoyed by many, it should not perform Suzan-Lori Parks’ play, Fucking A, for three main reasons. The first issue you would face when putting on Fucking A has to do with the explicit language in the actual title of the play. The second is the toll it would take on some of the students who act in it. And the final problem is censoring all of the horribly vulgar acts that take place in the play.

Theatre students are often told what not to prepare for an audition because some pieces have been done so many times they lose their meaning. Of Shakespeare’s entire canon, the two most often forbidden texts are Puck and Helena monologues from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Therefore, the two roles are often the most sought-after and coveted in the play when in production. However, in the 1999 film version, Kevin Kline as Bottom gets top billing. According to the rules of Elizabethan hierarchy, Bottom, being of the merchant class, is literally at the “bottom” of the social spectrum. The Athenians and fairies rank higher on the great chain of being. Kline’s billing is not merely a result

The fictional character in which I relate to is Betty Cooper from Riverdale. I relate to her because she has had some traumatic events happen to her, she has anxiety issues and she feels kind of alone at times. Now, Riverdale, it is a show that was completely inspired by the Archie Comics. Riverdale, is the Archie Comics, with some sick twists. Itś enticing and exciting to watch.

What happens when you take Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and weave it into the life of a sporty, unfortunate but also lucky teenage girl? Well, you get one heck of a rom-com, that’s for sure.

Lucy, “we all are monsters inside.” A character that I am similar to is Lucy from the anime Elfen Lied. First, Lucy is my favorite character because, she is elegant and wicked she is sinful because, she is like a monster because the way she was treated people treated her like monster so she became one. Second, we have almost the same personality. Me, and Lucy have some of the same appeals well I think we do. As can be seen, I think I am similar to Lucy from Elfen Lied.

Every film created has a story or a point behind it whilst being produced. A plethora of the first movies produced don’t! City Lights, being created in 1931, does have a story line. That’s what surprised me. My initial thoughts racing through my receptors could be comparable to mind of an 81-year-old man with Alzheimer’s disease. If there is no story line, then I wouldn’t remember it anyway. The story throughout the movie is bland. It does the job, but it’s not comparable to the current movies. It’s mainly about a poor lad trying to help a blind girl. The story goes back and forth, but it is like a childhood story like Robinhood. The tramp makes a couple of bad decisions, but they are for best outcome in the film. It isn’t an overly complicated

The film Moonlight, directed by Barry Jenkins, is a romantic drama that showed three different stages in Chiron’s life. The movie was about drug abuse and its shows masculinity, family, school violence and most of all sexuality. That movie reveals everyday life experience, not to mention, it is a story of complete intimacy. In my belief, the movie was too sad and deep in the aspect of people who are gay and who have to come out of the closet. As a matter of fact, it is a necessary film for this moment in time, whereas, the extinguishing of black men of all backgrounds, out of fear, becomes more visible.

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.

For my theatrical review, I decided to see the play Mulan. This play had a mix of Mulan 1 and 2 with young kids who had a wonderful and funny personality. In my opinion, I think the actors did a fabulous job in all. If you were sitting in any row, you could see the actors clearly. For example, if the actors were in a line with three people you could see all three actors. No one was being blocked by another actor. The theater was pretty small, which made it easier to see. During the beginning of the play, it seemed like some actors were very nervous by the way they talked and moved. Only a few stuttered and were very tense but they had a smile on their face the whole time. In some scenes, the actors used the entire stage but at the mid-point,

Our group proposed, presented, and directing the stage performance for the Twelfth Night. In the beginning of the semester I had no clue of what to expect from this course, and reading the syllabus made Shakespeare’s Plays seem complex. I am somewhat familiar with William Shakespeare’s plays stemming from a Shakespeare course that I had taken at Harold Washington (City College of Chicago). My professor (Hader) informed the class that if we were looking to go on to a four-year university as an English major that we will have to take another course, and it will be taught from a different perspective or angle—quite frightening. As a person who had not connected or have read anything that the playwright had ever written, I was afraid that I
