This is particularly evident when she begins sobbing after Gatsby shows her his shirt collection, exclaiming “They’re such beautiful shirts!” Seeing the extent of Gatsby’s…
Pippin was phenomenal. I absolutely loved it. My eyes were glued to the stage the entire time and I could not stop smiling. The entire production was done spectacularly and as a whole was very satisfying: the choreography, the singing, the acting, the music, the lighting, the costumes, the set, the technical assistance, all had impressive commitment and efforts from every individual behind the production. When it ended and the mesmerizing spell cast upon me had lapsed, I was left with profound…
What is acting? What does it mean to be an actor? As Sanford Meisner stated, “acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” Luckily for actors, theatre is something that can be enjoyed by just about everyone, just about everywhere. According to the Occupation Outlook Handbook between 2014 and 2024 the projected percent change in employment of actors is 10%.

entertainment, both behind and in front of the camera. The Good Time Girls opens with Clementine dressed in men's clothing, holding a shotgun at an off-screen target while she recounts her born-in-a-whorehouse origins; she takes another shot as a male voice screams in protest. From there the film cuts to a scene preceding this event: a room full female prostitutes in repose as one of them plays banjo singing the song "Katy Cruel." However, a new mood of fear and anticipation overtakes the room…
and/or actor I like or know. This is because I love acting and it is interesting to see an actor do their acting job and know their real life personalities.

societal pressures. Often it is seen that many virtuous people will yield to the temptation of these pressures, acting in such a way or even adopting the beliefs of people of a particular group. Throughout the novel Lives of the Saints by Nino Ricci many different characters from the small Italian village of Valle de Sole are introduced, few of which seem to have their own distinct voices or personalities. Cristina Innocente is seen as someone who is extraordinarily strong willed. She is very…

Singin’ in the Rain (1952) directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen is one of Hollywood’s most famous musicals. As a big fan of musicals, it’s surprising that I have never seen this infamous film. I had preconceived notions about what it would be like and I thought that I wouldn’t enjoy it. However, the movie was nothing like that I thought it would be and I enjoyed the “behind the scenes” style of film that the director used to show the transition between silent films to talkie. Due to this…

Isolation from society results in an inevitable surrender to silence,…
