    As of 2002, it is considered a historic landmark, the jail was built in 1921 and was the second jail to be built in town. In 2004, a grant was earned to remodel the whole facility and the commissioners moved in. If anyone was to visit they would see original bars all over. Each office for the commissioners is an old jail cell. So many politician jokes float around my head at this realization. Mrs. Teague, excitedly describes the heart carved into the steel behind her crowded bookshelf. The food slots that the prisoners had to hungrily stare at are still visible. She tells of how an old Sheriff tells of going out to buy McDonald’s hamburgers back in the day because all of the food had to be brought in. Now, the jail has the food prepared on sight, but the imagery is there. Another point of interest is the old locks, still visible behind a white panel. The panel opens and levers can be seen which used to be used to lock the entire jail in one instant. “It was pretty secure, a couple jailbreaks, but overall it was good.” Mrs. Teague remarks. Behind some bars are the bathrooms, still in their original location, but I’ve been assured that they were remodeled when the commissioners moved in. She points down as she explains that is creepy down below but that is where the 911 call center was one time held. I ask if anyone ever comes just to see this history, and she chuckles out a no. Three commissioners and one administrative assistant work out of the…

    As per Respondent A, Antonia Teague, response, it is an erroneous concept to assume that making dinner isn’t hard. Cooking is a tasking feat; it requires knowledge, attention, patience, and experience. It also entails much preparation such as gathering fresh produce or procuration of utensils just to list a few. Accompanied by the fact that both men and women have erratic work schedule, making dinner becomes another source of stress in an already suffocating lifestyle. As per Respondent B, Jaron…

    In “The Real World,” James Farrell says, “…‘the real world’ is basically the commercial world, the world of American business. When students talk about ‘the real world,’ they’re not usually thinking about love and relationships or friends and children. They’re not talking about spiritual life or religious community. They’re not talking about their leisure pursuits. They’re not talking about travel or vacations. They’re talking about the work world, in which people toil for a wage to support…

    Besides the financial impact it could create on many levels, banning alcohol will only increase the abuse of alcohol. Teague, Mackenzie, and Rosenthal states that sixty five percent of the American population already use alcohol (184). With that many Americans already using alcohol, banning it would increase the percentage of the population abusing it. Roughly a quarter of drinkers abuse alcohol today (Teague, Mackenzie and Rosenthal 184). A good indicator of this idea is the amount of binge…

    In order to get the feel of Russia, Ms. Teague hung a giant poster of Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, over one of the balconies. The poster was meant to symbolize Russia and the fact that Putin is allowing the violent vigilantism against homosexuals in his country. Besides the poster, the set consisted of a stationary wagon and a few black boxes. The location of the play made no sense to me. If Ms. Teague had wanted to make it obvious to the audience that the play was set in Russia,…

    land. If Shakespeare was indeed correct. If all the world is a stage, then there are a lucky few that have a corner on the market: Their home, their world has always been the stage. And for those pursuing a degree from The University of Alabama’s Department of Theatre and Dance, their home, their stage does if fact span all the world—to performances of Hamilton and Kinky Boots and standing ovations at productions in Scotland and Ecuador. “We have been on a great run these past few years,”…
