My friends also said that a lady around 70 years old was saying that she felt…

The hills are alive again -- revitalized “Sound of Music” production comes to Louisville Measuring up to the exacting standards set by Rodgers and Hammerstein’s iconic musical “Sound of Music” is no small feat. After its Tony-winning introduction in 1959 followed by the 1965 movie production starring Julie Andrews, “Sound of Music” quickly grew to be one of the most widely recognized shows of all time. However, decades later, esteemed director Jack O’Brien still managed to give the production a…

I arrived at the Wednesday night showing of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the Bellamy not knowing what to expect. I had never been to a Shakespeare production before, but I enjoyed the first production, A Streetcar Named Desire, so I had high expectations for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I thought I would like A Streetcar Named Desire more since it was a realistic play and a little more relatable than fairies and spells, but I was completely wrong. Even though A Midsummer Night’s Dream was not…

musicals performed live or the movie versions, of the musicals mentioned I only understood the references from The Phantom of the Opera. It would have made the play more enjoyable had I understood all the references but, it was still entertaining. The acting style was presentational; when they actors and actresses were singing and speaking they gave looks and gestures. The pacing for the play was very appropriate because each act took the same plot and fit it to a specific musical. This means…

The conflicts that arose between our two main characters gave purpose to the story being told and insight to McMurphy 's underlying strengths. Forman 's casting of these two is what allowed for them to be viewed as such realistically regular people who are so much more once you get to know them, just as anyone one might meet on the street, but in a quite disturbing way. "Nurse Ratched represents the System, that all Randles must buck" (Canby par.6). Indeed she does, however, their quarrels were…

And in the vast sea of Hollywood, that breed is nearly extinct. Young people who can act as positive role models are almost as…

Private Lives Response Paper The live production I attended was Private Lives by Noel Coward. The play was put on by Acting Unlimited Inc. at Theater 810. Overall, there were three main elements that were the primary contributors to my enjoyment of the live performance; they were the costumes, the set design, and the body language of the actors and actresses. For instance, the costumes were very well done for a small local production. The play revolves around a divorced couple in the 1930’s,…

Legendary acting teacher Constantin Stanislavski once wrote, “The artist of the stage must be the master of his own inspiration and must know how to call it forth when it is announced on the posters of the theatre. This is the chief secret of our art” (Stanislavski, 1936).

This leads to Nicolas Cage being one of the most polarizing…
