She looked at me again and asked…

"Mason are you here for therapy?" requested Dr. Stiner, as he casually moved towards Mason, who was in the shadow of building half way into the night. The moon was high in the sky, creating small shadows in which Mason hid. Mason only nodded in response. "Follow me towards the movie theater," uttered Dr. Stiner.

These are all Broadway shows that I have had the privilege of seeing; moreover, they have been a crucial part of my love and respect for theater. When I sit in a theater like the Richard Rogers or Shubert, I am overwhelmed with joy like a kid in a candy store by the plush red velvet seats, the buzz of the crowd as the ushers attempt to control their hurried fever, the ornate designs on the…

most noticeable in are Jesus Christ Superstar, and Mamma Mia. In the first musical, Jesus Christ Superstar, there was a vast number of props uses. Some of the props that were used were lights, visuals, giant crosses, scaffolding, simple but elaborate costumes, and other little costumes. The props used in Jesus Christ Superstar help to make the musical such an elaborate musical because the use of lighting on the actors and also the lighting around the stage makes the musical dramatic, which…
