    Containing earthquakes, massacres, hippies, politicians, ABBA, artists and a gay bar, ‘Bastard Territory’ by Stephan Carleton, covered a lot of topics, but simply put, it was a story about a boy and his parents.

    Evata Play Analysis

    I recently enjoyed the Frisco Community Theatre production of EVITA the musical. The message I took in while watching this play is follow your dreams no matter what. This message was perhaps very clear to the audience because the main character would not settle for anything less even though she was getting backlash for stealing the love interest of another character. The directors, actors, and designers were very distinguished in transporting us to where the story takes place.…

    Wit Play Character Analysis

    The play Wit, written by Margaret Edson, is full of intriguing characters that develop in their own ways throughout the play. Despite the many characters, there is one that really caught my attention. Susie, the nurse, is a character unlike any of the others. Edson gave her characteristics to separate her from the others and make her a standout character. Susie is the mother character of the play, meaning she is kind-hearted and caring, unlike the other characters.…

    Wit: Play Analysis

    The students that performed Margaret Edson’s play, Wit, put on a fantastic show. The student who played the lead roll did an excellent job portraying a sickly cancer patient in the beginning and throughout parts of the play. While I sat with the audience waiting for the play to begin, I thought to myself that I really did not know what to expect out of this play. I noticed the sickly patient in the middle of the stage with dim lights, and I thought about how that could be the main character, Dr. Vivian Bearing, discussed earlier in class.…

    Alexander Hamilton Play Analysis

    History, musical theatre, and rap sounds like a horrible combination. A combination that a history teacher might use to make their students more enthusiastic about their class. This is what came to mind when I heard of Hamilton for the first time. After hearing the music and later watching the show, however, it became apparent that Hamilton was successful in blending these elements into the wildy popular musical that it is now. It started when Lin-Manuel Miranda decided to read Ron Chernow’s biography Alexander Hamilton on a vacation and almost immediately began envisioning it as a musical.…

I will start by giving the briefest of summaries; the game opens with Kaitlin, who we control in a first person perspective, returning home to a locked house all set in the 90s Their is a note left…
