I chose the All in the Timing and the play Sure thing. The setting of the scene is in a small café, so I placed just a regular brown table with two regular wooden chairs in the middle of the stage. I placed it in the middle so that everybody could see what is going on and because that is where everything takes place. And on top of the table I have a small cup of coffee in a purple cup, I chose purple because when I drink coffee at home I drink out of my purple mug. In the center of the table I have placed a pink vase with a red rose in it, pink because I connect pink with the color red and I chose red for the rose because most roses are red. I have the walls of the café stripped with the colors white and teal. While reading this play I just
A saying that stands true to Bristol Blues infielder Max Goione as he has turned it around both offensively and defensively for the Blues this season. In his first six games with the Blues, Goione was batting .150 with no homers and one RBI. Since June 13, Goione is batting .257 with one home run and three RBIs, raising his batting average to .218. Although it’s no Mickey Mantle numbers, it’s progress that he feels was well needed.
I read the play Marvin’s Room by Scott McPherson. I chose this play from three plays Burnett offered because the cover was blue and blue is my favorite color. The play is essentially the story of a woman named Bessie who finds out that she has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. Through this tragedy her family which was separated comes together again. The theme of this play is that family will always be family. Many people in this play have issues. Hank is in a mental asylum, Marvin is bedridden and dying, and Ruth has back problems. Despite their problems all of these people still care about each other because they are family after all.
Last April Something Rotten! came to Broadway at the St. James Theatre on 44th Street.
A play running at UCF Feb. 18 to Feb. 28 will leave the actors speechless – literally.
A. This piece is a challenge for me because of Blanca’s dialect, first and foremost. Her accent and vocal mannerisms are such an intrinsic part of her character that to execute them poorly would not do her character and the monologue justice. In order to get her dialect right, I have to make sure it was not too light or strong or loose that it gets in the way of vocal clarity and understanding. Additionally, if the accent is too strong, it can become stereotypical. Since some of the things Blanca says are ridiculous and ignorant, it can be challenging to really act truthfully as if I really believed in what she is saying. Playing the action while still keeping it in the moment is different than doing stand-up and trying to be “funny”, so I try to focus on what I want and my circumstances. It’s also a challenge to stay in control and pace myself despite the rapid-fire text.
Have you ever wished you could travel to another land like Oz and go on a magical adventure? Well I know for after seeing the Wiz with Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, I sure wanted did. I finally got my wish of traveling to Oz by being in a production of the Wiz in elementary school. Ever since then I have been going to see as many productions of the musical because it is my favorite so why not choose this as one of my third shows to see for class. Wrong!!! To my hearts dismay, I should have relived the glory days of myself. In the production of the Wiz I saw, there were only 30 children so most of them played multiple roles ranging from being a background dancer to the main character. My goal was to focus on the main characters: Dorothy, Scarecrow,

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
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

Playspent is an online-based game of balancing the budget while doing all the activities necessary in a life of a low-income person or family. 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.

This is a must watch Broadway show that makes your fine, terrible, or even boring day, an absolute blast. The Play That Goes Wrong has finally made its way to America and right at the heart of New York City near Times Square at the Lyceum Theatre. Therefore, the experience is a win-win situation for the audience. The Lyceum Theatre’s architecture is astonishing as it is filled with ornaments, I also realized the letter ‘L’ around the theater, but the most interesting fact is that it is a landmark. It has a proscenium stage while the audience is in the orchestra, balcony, or the mezzanine seats, like where I sat, and there is barely any space if you are a tall person. My seat was near the far end of mezzanine, I couldn’t see a part of the left side of the stage, so I found myself bending sideways to see what was going on, but I saw nothing. I found the side stage lights and a side balcony blocking my view and yet I had a great time.
