The musical I went to was “Heathers; The Musical”, lyrics and music by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe. Which is about a high school girl named Veronica Sawyer who was nobody until one day, three of the popular girls at her high school decided to she would fit perfect with them. Funny thing was that they were all named Heather. After being whisked away from her boring life and put into the Heather click, she meets a boy named JD who she falls in love with.

Storytelling is a social and cultural art of telling stories through generations. Theatre allows the act of storytelling to connect the actors, director, playwright and the audience all as one. This connectivity forms a communication between the original artist's intent and the interpretation of those who read and observe the play.

designed by Sophia Clist, lighting design by Malcolm Rippeth, sound design by Simon Baker, and composed/music directed by Ian Ross. I have never been to a play before this one. Flyers Lovers of Vitebsk was absolutely amazing. I love a good comedy, musical, sad, and romantic storyline and this play had it all. It was very imaginative and required quite a lot of it to understand it. The story line was creative and never had a single dull moment. For my first time seeing a play, I was so fascinated…

judged my whole life whether it was through shows or just everyday normal life. Judgement is a part of life, no matter where you are, who you are, or what career path you choose, you will always be judged. After officially deciding on going into musical theatre, I let my parents know. My mother, who was always accepting of my decisions, told me to follow my dreams. My father, on the other hand, did not have the same response. He would persistently tell me he would be wasting his time and money…

I recently enjoyed the Frisco Community Theatre production of EVITA the musical. The message I took in while watching this play is follow your dreams no matter what. This message was perhaps very clear to the audience because the main character would not settle for anything less even though she was getting backlash for stealing the love interest of another character. The directors, actors, and designers were very distinguished in transporting us to where the story takes place. A theatrical…

Theatre reviews are an integral part of the theatre, without reviews how do audiences know what they should go see and what they should avoid? The two examples of mass media chosen for comparision are two theatre reviews of the current stage musical ‘Dirty Dancing’. I chose to take the reviews from two different reviewers from different websites, Brian Godfrey for Glam Adelaide and Vito Mattarelli for Australian Stage. Glam Adelaide is a website which is dedicated to revewing and writing stories…

On Friday, October 16th, I attended the opening night performance of the musical “The Addams Family” at the Alfresco Arts Center in Granite City, Illinois. The doors opened at 6:30pm and the play began promptly at 7:30pm after a brief welcoming and introduction through the sound system. With my previous experiences in watching theatrical performances, I knew before arriving at the production that no two plays or venues are the exact same. This expectation was definitely true upon my arrival…
