Lastly, sacrifice plays a large role in both Huey and Felicia’s role while the play is coming to a conclusion. Both need to make a sacrifice for the other to be together, one is willing yet the other is hesitant. In this amazing and spectacular musical, Memphis used a couple of things that I have learned in class thus far. One is the proscenium theatre which I believe was used quite accurately. Next, was one of the seven plots I learned which I believe two were used.

Blood Brothers Evaluation Opening Paragraph: On the 17th of May I went to see an excellent production of ‘Blood Brothers’ at the Phoenix Theatre in the West End. Before I went to see the production I thought the production was just a musical of two brothers who were together, but after seeing it has been running in the production for the last 28 years I think it is because it’s a fantastic production that everyone would want to see again.

In searching for a proper concert, I did a fair amount of research, however, I was extremely lucky to be told about the restaurant Amor Cubano in Spanish Harlem. In truth, I went to the venue knowing that the restaurant had good live performances, but I did not know just how amazing the concert would be. On the eve of the performance, we got to Amor Cubano at 7:20pm to find the restaurant packed to capacity, and despite a reservation we sat at the bar to be closer to the music. The group that performed was Son Radical, which is a unique “syncretized” ensemble combining the forces of Juan-Carlos Formell, Carlitos del Puerto, and Jimmy Branly (Washburne, Lecture 3).

Faith Winter Core Viewing Analysis: Rent 810967028 Rent: The Bohemian HIV Musical In the musical Rent there is the very prevalent theme of the “other” while taking a closer look at the low society of HIV in the LBGT community. A community forms around this commonality and they begin to rely on each other for support to live with their disease instead of counting the days down to their death. In this paper I will argue that the theme of homosexuality and HIV/AIDS was prevalent and ever emerging during the time period that the musical hit Broadway. Through campaigns, awareness efforts, and individual stories, I will connect the musical to the actual life in the in 1996. This begins first by looking at examples from the play that connected to events that were taking place within society.
I Will Always Dance With You April Strausser ENG 125 Katie Newbanks February 15, 2012 In Theodore Roethke’s poem “My Papa’s Waltz,” there are details that give us a little insight into all three of the characters. If one pays close enough attention they can pick out the few important descriptions offered. An encounter with an abusive father is the first interpretation likely made by readers and students; or at least seems to be the common one as of late. At first glance that was the interpretation that came to mind for me. However, I read and reread this several more times, and then went looking for more information before deciding on a final interpretation and analyzing the poem “My Papa’s Waltz.” The author of My Papa’s Waltz,
What promise has Mr. Antrobus made by fighting the war?20. The play ends with Sabina reciting some of the lines from the beginning of the play and wishing the audiencegood night. Have the Antrobuses accomplished anything, or are they right back where they began? Is "progress"an illusion and the world entirely cyclical?

DA3 (Performance on a Set Theme) * Text: individual performance * Text: group performance * Devised: individual performance * Devised: group performance * Overview of performance and rehearsal period For our DA3 examination we performed 2 pieces of drama, one naturalist scripted piece named ‘Jerusalem’ written by Jaz Butterworth and a devised piece of physical theatre with the chosen stimulus of ‘Running’. My exam group consisted of Emily Shrimpton, Eliott Johnston and myself. TEXT: INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE In our performance from ‘Jerusalem’ I performed the role of Linda Fawcett. Throughout the rehearsal process, I found my biggest challenge was performing a character who was both older and in a position of legal authority. Trying to perform in such a way was difficult due to the lack of life experience in this particular area.
