Many thoughts dashed through my mind when I found out that we must attend a live production and write a response paper about it. I have never been to any plays in the past, so I ensured to do some research before I make my decision; I wanted it to be something unique. Surely, I came across just the right one: Thoroughly Modern Millie, a musical production directed by Mark Madama right here at Wichita’s very own Centery II. It amazed me to find out that this is its the 46th summer of Broadway productions

The show “Arsenic and Old Lace” by Joseph Kesselring was an interesting show that it not like anything else I have had the privilege to see before. It was filled with comedy but is also an intense show to watch keeping the audience on the edge of its seat. The length of the is not something that I am used to. I though it was a long show, but it kept my attention throughout the whole three hours. This show seemed to run a little longer than I would have liked it to have. I did not feel like it was

A theater company called the “Torn Out Theater Troupe”, performed two outdoor shows ( 1st central park, 2nd prospect park) of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”. The show included an all-woman cast who were all performing nude. The Troupe believes that the human body tells a story and that story has full capability to tell their story, apart from just sex. The issue with the Troupe’s rendition of “The Tempest” wasn’t necessarily the nudity; the issue with the show was the fact that it was an outdoor show

Event’s Reflection The first event that I attended that was relevant to this class was the play that the school put on called Abraham Lincoln’s Big Gay Dance Party. This was a play that explored sexuality and growing up in a small town. This play relates to the class it that it brings up the idea of sexuality and becoming comfortable with your own identity. At first I was kind of uncomfortable with the play, not because of the content but because of the very eccentric acting that was slightly overdone

He had to focus on the main characters, being Beatrice and Benedict and their romance, and of course the drama concerning Hero and Claudio, but also keep other characters incorporated as well. For those attacking the "whittling down" of the script, why didn't anyone bring up the point that Benedict is supposed to have shaved his beard while in attempt to woo

Recently, I had the pleasure of seeing one of Texas Southern University’s theatre department productions; For Colored Girls, Who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf. Written by Ntozake Shange and directed by Erika R. Walton, the play was performed marvelously at Ollington Smith Playhouse located in the heart of the historic black college. At first glance, the performance space looked more like an auditions holding place than somewhere to hold a production, but all in all it was an unforgettable

This past summer, in a local community theater production of The Little Mermaid, I was cast to play the role of an unusual character in the show: Chef Louis. Although I had seen this classic Disney film hundreds of times as a child, I had no memory of who Chef Louis was, or even that there was a chef in the story to begin with. Thus, I researched clips of the Broadway production, and discovered that it is typically played by an overweight, middle-aged, flamboyant French man. At first, I quite was

came to Duquesne University, but that did not stop me from enjoying it all the same. F.J. Hartland’s play, Rust, has stuck out in mind because of the well-written humor, casting choices, and stage design. To begin with, the play is a combination of drama and comedy, which is made quite apparent through the setting of throughout the performance: 1980’s Pittsburgh during the deindustrialization of the area’s prominent steel industry. It was at this time that many of the workers of Pittsburgh were without
