Conceived on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio, Thomas Edison ascended from humble beginnings to fill in as an innovator of significant innovation. Setting up a lab in Menlo Park, a portion of the items he created incorporated the transmit, phonograph, the primary monetarily handy brilliant electric light, soluble capacity batteries and Kinetograph (a camera for films). He kicked the bucket on October 18, 1931, in West Orange, New Jersey. At age 12, Edison embarked to give a lot of that…

I will start this by being brutally honest, I tend to indulge myself in things others would refer to as “mushy crap”; ice cream, boy bands, badly written romance novels, all things I enjoy, along with Waitress. The musical based closely off of a 2007 film of the same name, opened on Broadway in April of 2016 and has been experiencing a successful run so far, with a tour scheduled for 2017. I had the pleasure of seeing Waitress this summer, in early July and, admittedly, shed a tear or two, or…

A visionary choreographer named Merce Cunningham broke the laws of dance and created avant-garde pieces that inspired modern dance today. Cunningham’s love for birds reflects on his piece “Beach Birds”, premiered on June 20, 1991 at Theater 11. Using the technique of “choreography by chance” and distant ocean waves, Cunningham creates a simplistic piece that gives the audience a chance to give their own interpretation. As it is titled, the dance is solely based on existing beach birds living of…

The lighting was effective in setting the mood of the plot at its different stages and also in pointing out what needed to be seen and what not. Something that was really interesting to see was how lights were used to light up the stage in different colors such as the red and blue during the time the actors were in the labyrinth giving it a scary feeling and making the whole experience much enjoyable as the actors feared for their lives in the “darkness” of the labyrinth. The lighting helped the…

Alfred Hitchcock is an acclaimed director known for the continuities of production style in his works. His 1958 film Vertigo utilises the…
