Federal Theatre Project

the American psyche has changed since the attacks have occurred. The central theme behind the play is fear and paranoia. At first Khaled is paranoid that he is guilty, and the federal agents look like the villains. Then, certain clues point to Khaled being guilty of being associated with terrorist activities, and the federal agents look like the heroes. In the end, the audience doesn’t know who or what to believe. This made my think about whether safety or privacy was more important in the end.…

Exhausted after class, I grudgingly sat down around the piano while I waited to the music to start and practice to begin. At 3 o’clock we began to learn our required songs for our audition. Our school play is the Wizard of Oz and I decided that I wanted to audition for Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Good Witch. I was fully expecting Dorothy’s notes in her song…

Theatre is more than people on a stage acting like someone else. What happens off stage is where the real magic lies. I remember my sophomore year I decided to join theatre, mostly to get my fine arts credit. At first I thought these people were all insane.
