Performance-related pay

period and location, 19th century Russia, very unique for a musical. Overall, these are the reasons why I decided to see the show, and I was happily surprised with the performance I witnessed. By far, “The Great Comet of 1812” was the most immersive show that I’ve ever been too. This greatly differentiated from any other performance I’ve ever attended. First of all, when I first walked into the theatre, there were chandeliers and red velvet curtains hung all the way up to the mezzanine. Also,…

fancy with red seats and the walls painted with a golden enchanted cream color. It was a magnificent sight but I could not help but notice 3 longs strings hanging. There was two in the middle of the hall and one over the orchestra during the whole performance, to this day I could not figure out the reason for those three…

Shake & Stir’s 2015 production of Tag successfully integrates the audience through a curated selection of dramatic elements and acting and directorial choices. It effectively highlights the risks of relying on the Internet for self-esteem, but fails to investigate further and, overall, provides merely a skin-deep theatrical analysis of the psychology behind both the victims and the bullies. The play is fast and funny, but – perhaps because of its brief duration – fails to deliver a sufficient…

The performance at the American Players Theatre portrays the racist theme well through the emotionally based acting, which makes the racist ideals portrayed by the characters appear believable. An example of the racist theme occurs near the end of the play when…

just for music majors or minors. There are many opportunities for the campus community to take part in the benefits of music through lessons, ensembles and performances. For those that enjoy music but do not sing or play an instrument themselves, Luke Carlson, assistant professor of music, said there are a variety of concerts and performances every semester they can attend. “Some of the audience members we get are family members,” Carlson said, “but we also have students, faculty members, and…

The three articles I selected to analyze from the New York times are “‘Grease’ in a Nairobi High School: Saheem Ali on His First Time Directing” by Shahem Ali, “Broadway’s Bathroom problem: Have to go? Hurry up, or Hold it” by Michael Paulson and “Using Shakespeare to Ease the Trauma of War” by Laura Collins-Hughes. In “Using Shakespeare to Ease the Trauma of War” Hughes characterizes the significance of theater for veterans in post war conditions. Paulson addresses the issue about bathrooms in…

Throughout the last century, music has transformed drastically in numerous ways. For example, in the 1950’s, songs were almost entirely acoustic and incredibly organic. Artists in the industry did not have access to the technology available today, which made them rely on their talents alone. Today, individuals are able to autotune their vocals and they have tools such as metronomes, drum machines, etc. that can enhance their songs. At the same time, their are several similarities in the style of…

No.1 Lonesome Town There are only three elements in this music: vocal, acoustic guitar, and the chorus. Because of there are only three elements, the stereo image builds on how wide and narrow the sound is instead of placing to the right or left location. However, I feel that the acoustic guitar is a little off to the left, and I hope that is not the problem of my hearing. The chorus is the widest sound that spread all over the left to right, and the distance of the sound is the farthest.…

Standing on stage at The Kennedy Center singing to an audience of veterans, I realized my future accounting degree could combine my career with a valuable cause. After previously taking a high school finance course, I wanted to major in accounting. However, it was not until I participated in the 2015 National Memorial Day Choral Festival that I knew how to use it to serve those who have already served. When my choir director revealed the 2015 trip destination, I was overjoyed in anticipation of…
