You can’t take it with you, performed at Laguna Hills High school on November 11, 2017. This school performance was directed by the one and only Mrs. Belfield. The theme was, that you should enjoy life and do things that make you happy and that families can come together even besides their differences. Overall I think this was an amazing play. I enjoyed the inappropriate humor and how the characters were portrayed.
The basis of the show is about a very upbeat loving family and they are very different from the average one. This girl named Alice Sycamore falls in love with a guy named Tony Kirby and his family is quite the opposite of hers. Alice is afraid that she can’t be with Tony because their families are so very different. Penelope

The concert that I attended was a high school concert on March the third 2016 performed by Winfield’s High School Bands under the Direction of Steven James and John Steinbruegge. It took play in the gym and there were two bands that performed which included their concert/symphonic band and jazz band group. Both groups played an array of pieces from different genres and composer which both provided the audience with different feelings and emotions.

Central Falls, Rhode Island, is located just outside of the Providence, the capital of Rhode Island. The diversity of the Central Falls community is echoed by looking at the high schools’ 800-member student body. Within the number of students the birthplaces represented are Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Columbia, Guatemala, Cape Verde and United States. The school bodies’ aggregate ethnic breakdown is calculated as 72 percent Hispanic, 15 percent Black, and 13 percent White (Donnelly & Rochefort, 2011). The school system is the pushing force behind achieving the hopes and dreams of the students.

The story centers around a group of pre teenage boys that don’t seem to fit in anywhere. When one of them mysteriously disappears a sinister series of events follows. His worried older brother, his mother, another boy's’ older sister, a telekinetic girl with a shaved head, and the town sheriff join them on a hunt to track down the missing boy and unravel the mysteries of the town. Somehow, a show that is intended to be a supernatural mystery also tells a wonderful coming of age story and sucks you into the character’s journeys. Numerous subplots allow one to fully immerse oneself into the story and feel connected to each character. Usually, I’m not a big fan of this genre, but the characters were what kept me watching.
In Joanne Lipman’s “A Musical Fix for U.S. Schools”, she describes the benefits music can bring to a student’s IQ that allows them to perform superior in school. Music forces a person to think differently than how they usually may in other classes. This allows for new thinking strategies to form, improving the cognitive side of the mind. This positive difference is shown when a canadian study was done with music training where the results showed an increase in IQ in the group of people children studied (Lipman). With that study, the favorable results of music is clear for children. An IQ measures the intelligence of people, which is related to the cognitive abilities of the mind, and therefore the person. People may think that music may
In this story, the characters’ family is not the idealized family. It is not ideal for one to be divorced by her husband so that he can run away to his lover (who so happens to be a man). The characters in this scene (during the song “Making a Home”) are as follows: Whizzer (Marvin’s lover, also whom he divorced Trina for), Trina (Marvin’s ex-wife), Mendel (Trina’s husband and Marvin’s former psychiatrist), Jason (Marvin and Trina’s son). Jason has two pairs of parents (Marvin/Whizzer & Mendel/Trina), and his biological parents (Marvin & Trina) are seen always in the middle of a dispute. The resulting scenario shows conflict and unresolved tension throughout the show. The image attempting to get across in this song is the image of a perfect family. However, we as an audience know that not
On March 17th, 2017, I got to enjoy the show You Can’t Take it With You for the second time, the first time being performed by the Palm Springs High School Theatre Company. This time, the performance was done by Palm Canyon Theatre at the Palm Canyon Theatre in North Palm Canyon. The story follows the Vanderhof family over the course of a week back in 1936. Tony Kirby, Alice’s boyfriend, and Alice go watch a dance show. After the show concludes, Tony brings Alice back to her house and stay up talking. Near the end of their conversation, they end up agreeing to have a dinner party a week later. The only problem is that Tony brings his father, Alice’s boss, and his mother a day early. What makes matters worse, the Vanderhof family act atrociously and cause the Kirby’s to be appalled. Alice comes to the conclusion that the two families will never work out and decides to
Performance Activity 47: Giving an informal reading assessment, BRI, impacts student learning by how I will evaluate results to determine how to plan effective instructional plans, if I were a teacher. As part of my BRI project, I have to administer all four sections of the BRI, evaluate the student’s results, and write up activities and instructional plans I would enforce to help the student enhance areas of improvements. For example, I have noticed when the student orally reads, she tends to repeat words while reading; while this does not significantly impact the flow of her reading, it can affect how she comprehensions the text and how many words per minute she can read. When answering comprehension questions the types of questions she misses, the most often, are
The situation comedy that highlights family values and functions for this Family Television Review is the show called The Parkers. The name of the family is The Parkers which is a family with a single mother and a daughter both attending college. Observations of the family lead me to the conclusion that their worldview is between a naturalism and secular worldview.
The shows main character Dre’s sister Rhonda comes over with longtime girlfriend Sharon. everyone in the family knows that she is gay except the mom. They haven't said anything because they are worried about the extremely homophobic mother. The homophobia of the mother is joked about when Rhonda tells a story about when Dre was younger saying, “ My mom is so homophobic she wouldn’t let Dre eat Bananas in the house.” The mom was so worried about him becoming gay from eating Bananas she didn't let him which is such a shock because it shows her ignorance about what being really gay. You can’t turn gay from eating bananas or eating anything else. This show does a good job of showing a family who supports and a single family member who doesn’t. They do it by showing the family supporting Rhonda and her homosexuality. The family is ignorant, but they have the family bond which trumps everything and they connect and the mom gets over her homophobia kind of. This show promotes that family love is stronger than any bias, it really gives a positive look towards coming out and how it can be
There is no television show that doesn’t challenge our concept of a “normal” life or family in some way or another. Reba is a prime example of challenging our concept of a “normal” family. Reba, the star and single mother of the show, goes through many difficulties but always works through them and does not let them get her down. The television show, Reba, challenges our concept of “normal” family as she deals with her ex-husband and his new wife, with her pregnant teenage daughter, and with her daughter and son-in-law living with her.
