    In the Live Globe performance of the Twelfth Night, the issues of gender identity and alternative sexuality registers different from the reading mainly with a sense of humor. For example, when Viola says to Olivia, referring to Maria, “ Most Radiant, Exquisite, and unmatchable beauty-/ I pray you tell me if this be the lady of the house, for I/ never saw her” (1.5. 161-163).

The camera focuses on Maria; who then smirks at the camera and receives loud laughter.…

    Thursday, October, 22, I was privileged with the opportunity to see the production La Muerte Bila, written in collaboration with the cast, and directed by Rebecca Marinez. The play was performed at the lovely Milargo Theater in Portland, Oregon. La Muerte Baila takes place in the afterlife, a place that is neither heaven nor hell. The standout performers in the play were Alejandro, played by Jonathan Hernandez, and La Muerte, played by Sofia May-Cuxim. La Muerte Baila is much different from most other plays due to the fact that it is performed bilingually.…

    “A Christmas Story”, the play directed by Susan Ferley and performed at December 2nd, 2015, was a well-performed play in my opinion. The story is about a boy named Ralphie Parker wanting a BB gun: a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock and "this thing which tells time" for his Christmas present. In the story, he does all he can to receive that gun but their parents reject his wish because they thought it was too dangerous for him. The writer, Jean Shepherd, wrote about a very boring outline of the story but made the story humorous and exciting for the audience. The performances in the “A Christmas Story” was very well done by the actors.…

    As a person who has only attened two other plays in their life, people might call me “unqualified” to review a play; these people are wrong. My qualifications for play review come solely from an “excess” amount of musicals listened to, pirated videos, and animatics watched on youtube. Seeing Guys and Dolls live was a great experience as a whole, and I enjoyed myself throughly. Understandably there were a few things that I disagreed with, so I will nitpick and pretend that my qualifications alone make me justified to critique a play that no doubt took alot of effort, stress, and love to make.…

    Three Sisters, by Anton Chekhov, directed by Rick Lombardo is the 2nd required performance for this semester and could not have been better. The Kennesaw State University production of Three Sisters was phenomenal and the undergraduate students who performed portrayed the Russian characters very well. I am usually not too impressed when it comes to plays performed by students but this production has me wanting to go to every Kennesaw State production. The women who played the three sisters; Olga, Masha, and Irina had me believing I was in the Fox Theatre surrounded by an enormous audience. They made this production feel as though it were professional.…

    Should gender stop someone from being who they want to be? During the early seventeenth century, many social barriers prevented people from being themselves, such as remaining the gender they were born with throughout their whole life. Any movement and straying from their gender, based on their biological sex, was not acceptable and was looked down upon. Societal structure and law made very clear that biological sex must be the same as sexual orientation. However, in the play Twelfth Night, or What You Will, Shakespeare creates Viola to manipulate gender ambiguities that allow her to express her true feelings and emotions to ultimately prove that gender is irrelevant in a relationship.…
