Title: Mixing the Old with the New
We’ve worked hard to make The Lookout one of the most exciting and innovative communities in Chelan. Whether you are looking to rent a vacation home or hoping to buy, living at The Lookout offers the best in contemporary living. It might be fresh and new, but that doesn’t mean you can’t step out every once in awhile and enjoy something from the past. Founded in 1902, the city of Chelan offers an eclectic mix of the old and the new, and nothing in the area offers the best of both worlds quite like the historic Ruby Theatre in downtown Chelan.
The Historic Ruby Theatre is a slice right out of yesteryear. Thought to be the oldest continuously running theater in Washington state, this impressive stop on the National Register of Historic Places first opened its doors to the public in the summer of 1914. Still sporting its original balcony, tin ceiling, and proscenium arch, the Ruby Theatre looks much like it did in its early years, when it was first showing silent movies from the golden days of Hollywood and before. Although a few necessary changes have been made over the years, including a minor facelift and renovation during the 1940s, the Ruby Theatre is still an iconic landmark that looks like something straight out of a bygone era, and definitely worth a place on your Chelan bucket list.

The Union enjoyed overall success in the Western Theater in 1862, but the year also brought defeat and setbacks between the times of Grant’s River War and the Battle at Stones River during the Civil War. These events contradicted the Unions success with strategic embarrassments that demonstrated the Union’s youth in military strategy in handling two separate theaters and management of men and goods.

Theatre is a collaboration of various forms of fine art which utilizes live performances presenting before the audience on a stage at a specific place within a scheduled time (Dugdale 10). The message is communicated through a combination of various channels like songs, speech gestures or dances. Stagecraft skills are combined with elements of art to make the performance more physical and near to real life experience. Theatre is categorized broadly into drama, musical theatre, comedy, tragedy and improvisation. Any form of these accepts integration of various production modes and collective reception to influence the artwork being presented. As a result of this cooperation of items in the theatre

Players in Los Angeles the most. The theater has introduced to the world over one hundred interesting plays and musicals that talk about the Asian American stories. From the early days of development, Asian American actors were very interested in playing roles of well-known characters in the history such as Shakespeare in traditional way, but Asian American writers couldn’t create a suitable program that worked best for actors in expressing the truly Asian American culture until the 1970s. As the result, nowadays plays and musicals produced by East West Players Company are all written in an Asian sense. The one thing that I like about the theater is that they work not only in favor of any specific Asian culture, not only about Chinese, Vietnamese
At the age of eight, my mother took me on a trip to New York City. On it, I saw the Lin Manuel-Miranda show In the Heights. Unlike my eight-year-old self, my mother loved performing arts, and she occasionally played CD’s from musicals in the car, which I groaned about. Given this, it is not hard to imagine I was less excited than the average person to see a broadway show; however, when my mother mentioned, “Chad from High School Musical is in it,” I perked up. As I walked into the theatre, my attitude improved again from the astonishingly vast house, filled with endless rows of red, velvet chairs leading towards an expansive stage trimmed with gold. Nevertheless, I still did not appreciate the opportunity to witness a Tony Award-winning musical, as I would in three hours. When the lights dimmed, the whole theatre fell silent, yet still buzzed with anticipation.
The Great War killed around thirty-seven million civilians and military casualties. The war was a military conflict including almost all the largest powers in the world. It was a war between two opposing alliances, The Triple Entente (Allies) and The Triple Alliance (Central Powers). The main countries in the Triple Entente were Russia, France and Britain. The Alliance powers consisted of Germany, Turkey (also known as the Ottoman Empire), Austria Hungry and Italy. After five assignation attempts, on June 28, 1914, Gavrilo Princip, a member of a Serbian Nationalist group, assassinated the next king of Austria-Hungry, Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in Bosnia. One major reason for why World War One occurred was due to the difference over foreign policy between major world powers hence the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. On July 28, 1914, Austria declared war on Serbia as they only gave nine out of ten demands made in the ultimatum from Austria thus bringing all the alliances together. This assassination is what triggered what is now known as World War One, making it spread from 1914 to 1918. World War One was a military conflict among great powers of the world. Most European countries had the capacity of motive and means to engage and were willing to take part in the First World War. The four main causes of World War One consist of Militarism, Alliances, Nationalism and Imperialism.
A lot has changed in theatre during the Renaissance era and today. Things that have changed between the Renaissance era and today's drama include staging , language, and topics.

Musical Theatre is an art that I always envisioned myself pursing at the collegiate level and what I want to make a career out of as well. My perfect musical theatre program that I would want, would be a program that would help me to achieve a better understanding of who I am as a musical theatre artist first and then hopefully I can expand my artistic goals and further develop myself through whichever institution that I am attending. The musical theatre training that I have received in high school through my creative arts high school New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) whether its been in dance, vocal, acting, or the productions that I have been cast
