Well-made play

Thornton Wilder seamlessly knitted many well-developed themes into his play, Our Town. With precision and skill he created a work that changed the way one reminisces on the past, lives in the present, and anticipates the future. Wilder broadens one’s view of the “bigger picture” by advancing the two most important themes of the play. The themes time, change, and continuity, and marriage and family are developed throughout Our Town by broadening the idea of a grand story and by expanding the…

Who is behind the complicated process that is creating a video game? Well, the designers, of course! Anybody can become one if they truly want to! Video game design is a job that is worth going into because it offers opportunity for everyone, has appealing qualities like salary, and can be both a hobby (if one enjoys it) and a reliable source of income. Video game design is a position for everyone, and it’s up to the person if they want to delve into this open-minded position. However, here are…

A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen is considered to be one of the greatest realistic dramas written, following the character Nora in her secretive and complex life. Being a well-made play, all is naturalistic and not overly dramatized. However, Ibsen makes use of features within the setting to subtly convey and emphasize the story and its messages. One such feature concerns the doors within the house. At the beginning, he describes four doors in the house: two at the back, and one on either side. In…

The Glass Menagerie is one of Tennessee Williams most famous and successful works. In his play Williams uses a series of characters and symbols to show people and moments in his own life. The mother figure in the Glass Menagerie Amanda is an example. As you read the play you will see how Amanda represents the stress, strictness, and the self-centered nature off Williams mother and father. Amanda is the mother figure of Tom and Laura in The Glass Menagerie. Tom works at a warehouse and…

this era had to originate from another era with some kind of revolution of the mind as well as draw from that of several influences to strengthen and allow the notions and characteristics of the era to grow. Some of these influences came from that of the art world, especially with playwrights such as Sarah Kane. Kane was born in Britain, 3 February 1971 and died on the 20th February 1999. She was known for her plays that were filled with violence, depression, death and sexual nature. There would…

Dustin Mosko directed the production of Fuddy Meers, written by David Lindsay-Abaire and performed by the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, which I attended on October 6, 2015 at 7:30 pm. I enjoyed this play and thought the actors did a wonderful job; I loved the set and the costumes did a wonderful job completing the character. The story was somewhat confusing to keep me engaged, but I feel like that was the goal of the playwright. However, I wasn’t satisfied with the ending. In this…

geo board is a kids toy to encourage them to learn more about shapes, colours, numbers, alphabet, objects, pattern, counting and symmetry. It is a wooden board with pegs you can string rubber bands around and fairly simple to make and cheap fun. I made this toy for under $12 in materials and completed in less than an hour. Everything was purchased from a dollar store and supervised by an adult. A geo board is a toy that focuses on kid’s mathematical skills, problem solving, critical thinking…

Metamorphoses appealed to me as I have always been drawn to plays compiled of vignettes as an audience member. The similarly styled production Almost Maine, by John Cariani, is my personal favorite due to its vignette nature. As a director, I saw the potential with the range of characters. Once I put down the play after first reading it, I had a lot of ideas running amuck. To help identify what my vision was in simpler terms and start to filter my ideas, I began by defining a shape, color, and…

legos were Star Wars themed and in dark blue and black packaging. Above the Star Wars legos were pretty pink lego boxes with girl lego characters and pretty pink presents on the box. It was very clear which legos were meant for boys and which were made for girls. After researching more about this I discovered that lego released the lego and friends toy line which is aimed for females and is all about beauty and nurturing instead of building like the boys playsets encourage. This got me thinking…
