by madness and facing one’s identity. The parallels drawn between the two plays do not mimic one another so much as present a multitude of ideas in a similar fashion. One of the major similarities between the two is that of the “hall of mirrors” effect. Within both plays, the frame play includes an interior play typically with actions and characters separate of the frame play: the traditional “play-within-a-play” motif. The aforementioned…

I love soccer, I can play it twice a day or sit and watch it all day, I like anything that have to do with soccer period. I was stationed in Italy and I was on the post soccer team playing the all Arm Forces tournament in Germany. I was on the field when my coach and the rest of my team picked me up.

high school, I started my journey by taking drama classes. Not long after, I become passionate about drama and eventually joined Players, a fast-paced drama program which involves daily rehearsals and performances. This activity boosted my self-confidence and provided me with a basis for future endeavours in drama.

Catch Of My Life Over my shoulder, the ball was spinning through the air, ripping through the wind, and the crowd goes completely silent. As I feel the defender breathing down my back the pressure on me to make this catch intensifies knowing that this touchdown will help the team, and hopefully win this game. My mouth is dry, legs are feeling like lead, will I have enough power to leap and cross the goal line. The blood is rushing through my veins, my heart is pumping faster, and faster.…

The game of golf is almost more mental than it is physical. Having the ability to control one’s thoughts and emotions can turn good players into great ones. Many players learn how to play the game physically, but cannot ever make a leap towards better golf due to their actions and thoughts on the course. When playing bad, all it may take is a change in mindset or attitude to get one back on track. Sometimes it’s a little change in swing thought that will turn one’s round around. Maybe a new…

A long long time ago there would be children, un-surveillanced by adults, playing in a nearby cool pond on a summers day or playing cops and robbers in the neighborhood streets, but now, Hanna Rosin would argue, there isn’t much that we let our kids do without the constant supervision and “protection” of an adult figure around. We all want to be able to do fun/potentially dangerous things when we are kids and growing up, but often times are stopped by parents because of the negative side effects…

Lilies of the field was a faith filled adapted play written by William E Barrett. This being the first play I’ve ever attended, I had little to no knowledge of what to expect, nor did I know where this department was located. When seeing this play I took into consideration, setting, actors, costumes, lights, music, how well the actors verbalized their lines, what story was trying to be told, and what the deeper message was within this story. Lilies of the field is set on a farm in the Arizona…
