The Long Play

Lynn Nottage’s play Ruined takes place in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The play opens in a bar that is run by a woman named Mama. A man named Christian arrives, offering Mama several goods he has acquired. He also leaves Mama with two girls, Sophie and Salima. At first Mama refuses to take in Sophie because she has been sexually assaulted so many times that she is “ruined” (Nottage, 12). However, Christian pleads with her because Sophie is his niece. Sophie and Salima work at the bar, along…

“Still Life With Iris” I saw the play “Still Life With Iris” in Turpin High School’s auditorium. I was in crew but watched the full run through of the show, and witnessed most of the show closing night, Saturday, February 4th. The show was originally written by Steven Dietz, and Turpin’s play was directed by Lauren Keen. They play was about a girl named Iris who lived on an island called Nocturno where they made everything. She had her past coat stolen and was taken to the Great Goods island…

From Minesweeper to Fallout, PC gaming has come a long way. This somewhat expensive hobby can provide hours of entertainment and relaxation. For some, it’s an addiction and others, a form of entertainment. The first computer game was named “Spacewar!” and was released in February 1962. The game released exclusively on the DEC PDP-1, the world’s first commercial interactive computer. This being said, computer gaming was initially invented 13 years after the creation of the computer and has been…

sports has been a big topic that people have been talking about. One side says that no matter what sport you play you can get an injury. But, the other side says that it improves cooperation by working with your team to achieve a goal. Overall, most people would say that the chances of you getting an injury are increasing. Another example of this is now people are having younger kids play competitive sports, which is insane for them at an early age because then they could get destructive. The…

Having natural hair draws attention because your hair is so wild people usually ask you how long have you been natural. The natural hair tends to draw attention to itself because the hairstyles are usually unique and beautiful. Usually when people see someone else’s natural hair is beautiful it tends to persuade them to want to go the natural…

An outdoor play area for infants should be one that allows them to explore the different sounds, textures, colors, and smells of nature to enhance all of their domains of development through developmentally appropriate and safe equipment and materials. Based on my understanding of Piaget’s stages of development, infants are in the sensorimotor stage. Meaning they need many developmentally appropriate social, motor, and cognitive opportunities in which they can experience success. Therefore,…

I usually play for most of the game. Just because I was pretty small and that age and I ran pretty fast. I play basically all of the offensive positions. Center mid, outside mid, and forward. The game felt like a really long game. Maybe that was because in was so hot out and my team was dying in the heat. The game was going pretty smoothly. My team seemed to be connecting lots of passes around the other team. I was playing outside mid during this part of the game. Outside mid plays more towards…

applies to even One Act plays. When choosing which genre to perform, potential casts will find it most beneficial to weigh the pros and cons of each plausible possibility. A well-educated, correct decision will stow favorable memories in the recesses of each troupe member’s memories for the coming years. The wrong choice can make for a long competitive drama season. When deciding between strict humorous, serious, melodramatic, or satirical plays, knowing which One-Act plays provide the most…

wasn’t a sport that would hold my interest for long. When I got to high school I finally convinced my mom to let me play football. It helped that my uncle had played throughout high school. So, he served as my primary support in letting me play. When I finally had a chance to play on the team for the school I was excited but also very nervous. I was very timid and didn’t know what I was doing. After fighting so long to even have the opportunity to play, I was disappointed in my…
