The Relationship Between Sugar Lee And Bobby Dwayne

Improved Essays
Although the play shines through its humor, nothing is more striking than the emotional intensity in the relationship between Sugar Lee (Caryn Richman) and Bobby Dwayne (Lorin McCraley). Throughout the play, Richman plays Sugar Lee as a selfless buccaneer, except towards Bobby Dwayne, her ex-fiancée. As their paths cross, when Bobby Dwayne comes to build her spa’s sauna, the emotional intensity between them builds and the play takes an unexpected turn while the two actors carefully enact their roles, leaving the audience in dead silence.

Although the show is quite emotionally tantalizing, there are a few cheesy situations and jokes. The play develops into a “chick flick” and many of these subtle jokes just satirize older women in all of their

    Refried Elvis is a swiftly paced parody that packs a Presley punch. With familiar tunes and modern jokes, it’s fun for the whole family. From beginning to end it’s as smart as it is funny, and guaranteed to entertain. I found the acting to be nearly impeccable, as all on stage seemed entirely committed to their characters, actions, and intent. No matter how serious or silly the scene, I found the believability to be there.…

    The University of Central Florida's theatre program performed Spunk and the Harlem Literati in which I attended on the 22 of January 2016. The musical is based on the play Spunk by Zora Neale Hurston, an adaptation by theatre professor Belinda Boyd and also directed by Mrs. Boyd herself. The play takes place in Harlem during the 1920’s Renaissance in which there is an uprising in writing, poetry, and music amongst the African-American community. Through the use of narration, uplifting energy, and the use of song, theatre Professor Belinda Boyd did an exceptional job telling the story of a love triangle and the growing literacy created by African-Americans during the Harlem Renaissance.

    Mama's Boy Play Analysis

    A Portland Press Herald review written by April Boyle of Good Theaters, “Mama’s Boy” focused on how well cast the actors were. Something I agree with a hundred and ten percent. The actors truly embodied each characters. One actor in particular, Betsy Aidem, who played Marguerite, Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother captured the sprite of a mother who has lost everything, now fighting to hold on to the only joy she has left, her youngest son Lee. The review highlighted the fact that the play itself has nothing heavily concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, or politics of any kind, but more shading a light on Lee Harvey’s home life.…
