Individuals from all social backgrounds participate in routine activities in micro-spaces throughout the city such as purchasing a cup of coffee or riding the bus to work. These people can be a student going to school or a senior citizen out on a stroll. Even though they may cross paths and share certain spaces on a consistent basis, that does not mean that they live identical lives.…

theatre history, such as the conventions of the Greek, Roman, and Elizabethan eras. I will continue to discuss staging conventions by analyzing and comparing different plays to these eras including Trojan Women by Euripides, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee by William Finn, and The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. In the Ancient Greek era some of the most prominent aspects of staging conventions…

Reflecting back just a few years ago, I had no idea that earning Boy Scout’s highest rank, Eagle, would have such a profound impact on me. Like many, I had heard the statistics - just over 2% of the boys who start Scouting, ever attain the Eagle rank – but it wasn’t until I got closer to that accomplishment, that I realized just why that number was so small.
