    The production Anon(ymous) by Naomi Iizuka was produced by Playscripts, Inc. Anon(ymous) was shown in the John Anthony Theatre at Collin College and was attended on the 8th of October, 2016. Location of seating in the theatre was to the left facing the stage where the seats were furthest and slightly elevated. An advantage to this position in the theatre was having the ability to see over others who chose to be seated closer to the stage, so the entire set was able to be seen in its whole. Due to this position in the theatre a big disadvantage was not being able to see facial expressions of the actors and actresses too well. Anon(ymous) opens with refugees recalling what they remember from their homeland.…

    After learning about the different trials and tribulations that the black community as a whole had to endure in the past to provide a better future for the next generation, I would say that the twenty-first century American Negro in 2016 are strong, confident, and intelligent black men and women who used their gifts to bring about positive change within their communities. They do not need to be highly educated to achieve these gifts, but the most important thing of all is that they have to have the passion, charisma, and strength in what they believe in so that they can change the mind set of negative influences that surround them each and everyday, even when they get unnecessary mistreatment from these negative sources, especially within their…

    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.…
