Satyr play

Philadelphia Story was a play put on by the theater department at the University of North Texas, performed in a proscenium. This worked well because of the big stage you could have a big set, which in this play, was amazing. The play starts with the main character Tracy writing thankyou notes for the gifts she has received for her upcoming wedding, which happens to be the following day. After being introduced to all the characters you learn that this isn’t Tracy’s first wedding, but she use to…

coordinating elements that go hand in hand. The way that Ibsen has created this message and theme is extraordinary, and never been done before, displaying the break away from sexism presented in this play. The issue brought to light in this play correlates with modern day problems with gender roles and sexism. In the play A Doll’s house, Henrik Ibsen presents how breaking gender roles can lead to a liberating lifestyle, Ibsen conveys this using a distinct use of symbolism, character analysis,…

I never expected something bad to happen that day. It was my parents anniversary night, May 11th, 2017, and of course, I had a softball game. We knew that the opposing team was better than us, but we still played hard, until the accident, that is when everything fell apart. My parents anniversary night was on one of my last home games of the season, but not the teams. Our game was at the Hyatt Elementary softball/baseball fields. The team, coaches, and parents knew that we were going to…

I’ve recently been able to read and analyze the script of the play of “Reasons to be Pretty” by Neil LaBute. LaBute has always had a preoccupation with the theme of beauty and aesthetic in our culture. His main focus is showing everything ugly about human nature and being. Neil is most known for his outspoken characters and shocking plotlines, making our job as the reader fairly entertaining. Neil’s play, “Reasons to be pretty”, demonstrates how society and the people that roam in it are…

an online game that I created for the World Bank Institute, undertook real-world missions to improve food security, increase access to clean energy and end poverty in more than 130 countries” (para. 13). These facts support the idea that people who play video games can help change the world. McGonigal keeps supporting her argument with many more statistics, for instance, “in 2010 more than 57,000 gamers were listed as co-authors for a research paper in the prestigious scientific journal Nature.…

The place I wake up early for on the weekends. The place I practice three times a week. The softball field is my happy place. The dirt on the field is the only beach I want to go to. The chalk on the field is the only chalk I write with. The early mornings, the late nights all for something I love. The smell of the fresh cut grass, so fresh just before a game. The look of the just raked infield, so fluffy and smooth.The look of the freshly painted and chalked lines, so crisp like perfection. The…

Out-of-Class Speech Critique For my out of class speech critique, I went to listen to Josh Birnbaum talk about his experiences as photographer for Illinois’ wheelchair basketball team. In his speech, he talked about the struggles that the team faced on the way to reaching their goal of winning a college national championship. Furthermore, Josh documented the lives of the players and showed the audience the struggles they faced every day, but showed us how each of them overcame the obstacles.…

Performance Analysis For Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew scene that our group had to perform, we made several key decisions in order to more accurately reflect the true personalities of our characters. These decisions affected the tone with which we spoke, the way did blocking on stage, the props in we used as well as the disguises we wore. To begin, our group decided it would be wise to go through the reading several times without acting out the scene first in order to get a feel for…

quote is from Arthur Miller. He was an American writer who focused many of his plays on real life issues like racism and discrimination (“Arthur Miller”). His play The Crucible takes place in Salem, Massachusetts in the 1692. This was the time of the Salem witch trials. The play The Crucible may have been written 64 years ago, but it is still widely read in American Literature classes today. But why is that? How can a play that was written so long ago still be relevant in the modern world today?…
