    Written during one of the toughest times in politics, with a theme not many seem to understand Tony Kushner’s’ Angels in America: Millennium Approaches with, departing Artistic Director Kate Cherry, and the final year Fine Arts Acting Faculty students lead this theatrical masterpiece of a production with diverse results. The company showcased the 3-hour beginning act of the two-act gay fantasia and what an intriguing three hours it was.

    The Takarazuka Revue is an all female theatre troupe based out of Japan that is coming close to its 100th year of existence. The company is characterized by its odd mixture of Eastern and Western Productions, it’s extravagantly decadent costumes, and it’s leading ladies — otokoyaku or slim, androgynously handsome, unusually tall, young women who play the male roles. While the Takarazuka Revue supposedly works to subvert gender roles in its performances, unlike its historical Shakespearian cross-dressing counterparts, the company still adheres to patriarchal norms off-stage, even more so than many current counterparts. This strange dichotomy of subversive onstage and patriarchal off-stage is shown quite clearly in the Takarazuka Revue’s 1999 Production of Epiphany, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth…

    Sexism and misogyny in Theater There are plenty of women who produce, direct, design sets and act in theatrical productions, however they did not always have these opportunities. “Women’s parts were played by men until the late 1700’s. When women did get the chance to perform in the United States, actresses were often seen as fallen or disgraced women because respectable women were not supposed to engage in public activity” (Matthews, 315). Examples of sexism in theatric productions include, Macbeth, The Twelfth Night, Hairspray and the Taming of the Shrew. Macbeth may be empowering to women, however the idea of women always portraying the part of witches may be a bit misogynistic.…

    One of the first things discussed in Eleanor Traylor's essay about Black theatre are the two main forms of contributions made which are minstrel show and slave narrative which is what she focuses on the most. Minstrel show is the first American dramatic form which came from the "tradition of confrontation and improvisation of grace under pressure" (48) which did not have the same roots as European contexts. The process of the creation of minstrel shows was created in America by African people. The contrast between the mask of the blues hero and the tragic protagonist also come into play when looking at the influence of African Americans. It goes beyond the journey, but into the rhythms and vision as well as the angle in which they see life…

Stage provides live entertainment that creates a bond with the audience that can be the same plot but performed so differently each time. Screen is filmed entertainment that can have special effects and captivate every single detail but has no real connection to the audience. Usually, how a person feels about stage or screen entertainment is based mostly on preference and somewhat based on the time era they grew up in.…
