West End theatre

Although Signature Theatre has not yet produced Guys and Dolls, it is one that their company could undoubtedly do in the future. The theatre certainly has the capabilities and facilities necessary to produce a high quality version of this musical. However, this fact, although relevant is not the most important factor in deciding whether or not they would choose to produce the show. The theatre must also have a desire to pick this specific musical out of the hundreds of other choices that exist.…

Simon productions including Jake’s Women and Rumors. This production was held by the Broadway West Theatre Company in Fremont, CA. After some research of Neil Simon, I believe Freeman stayed true to the original intentions of Simon’s playwright while putting together a wonderful production that I could laugh about but also learn from at times. First off, what caught my attention when I walked into the theatre was the soothing French music being played in the background as the audience was…

in powdered white wigs, it’s a contemporary piece with scores of music in pop, hip-hop, R&B and only uses Black and Latino actors. In theatre, the concept of colorblind casting has been used for a long time but it is still a debate whether or not it’s an effective practice. Even the celebrated Black playwright August Wilson, in his speech addressed to the Theatre Communications Group National Conference “The Ground on Which I Stand” states that, “colorblind…

District Attorney Jeffery F. Rosen launched the Santa Clara County Conviction Integrity Unit in 2011 and had David Angel head the unit. This county CIU shares the same structure as Manhattan, by having both a front-end and a back-end approach, that way to prevent future wrongful convictions by reviewing cases and limiting errors.

The play that I have attended was called "Dancing Lessons" at the Jewish Ensemble Theatre. I attended the play on Sunday April 17, 2016. It was located in West Bloomfield on 15th Mile and Drake." The reason why I wanted to see the play because I want to see what it is like to see an actual performance. This allowed me the opportunity to take my mind off of reality for a short period of time. Lastly, "Dancing Lessons" was one of the most comedic plays ever not because the characters were…

The last live performance I saw was Zarkana in radio city music hall. I don’t remember the exact year but I remember that it was over the summer. It really was a captivating experience, as soon as I walked in there was characters greeting you with intricate face painting almost like tribal marking infused with modern painting techniques. I took my seat, as the show was about to begin. However there was a pre show before the actual show began. The relation ship with the audience was really breath…

They establish boundaries and limits to maintain order in a given system as an example the “Dead Ball”…
