On Thursday, November 5th, I went to go see the musical Into the Woods put on by the Shawnee Mission Northwest theatre department. Into the Woods is a play about several characters from different fairy tales that interact with each other throughout the plot. Some of the characters include: Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack(from Jack and the Beanstalk), the witch, and the baker and his wife(these two characters do not actually belong to a fairy tale, but have a major role in the plot). There are many other characters from different fairy tales as well, but these are some of the characters that I found most important. The plot mainly revolves around the baker and his wife. There was a curse bestowed on the baker’s family by their neighbor,
The arts have surrounded my life and family since I took my first breath. I experienced music, dance, storytelling, theatre, and visual arts immersion constantly, from the piano in our living room, to Mozart cassette tapes in the car, to pre-school church choirs. Early in life, I found that singing and dancing gave me a sense of pure joy and fulfillment distinctly unlike anything else. It provided freedom and catharsis and helped me escape real life. To this day, performance offers me that same joy and freedom, but it has been enhanced by the knowledge that I can help others escape their realities too. That empowerment has facilitated focus in my artistic pursuits and made them my life’s purpose.

In the 1970’s fashion was a big part of culture as it is today. Music has had a big impact on the women, male, and children fashion. Politics affected the way the songs were written. In the 1970’s most things were related somehow. The 1970’s is the decade for classic fashion, managed politics, and “far out” music.

“Biff, after he has discovered his identity, is able to speak forcibly and in simple language which round like everyday speech, though it is of course, full of the devices of rhetoric. It is interesting moving speech, his emotion is dumb, and so is Willy’s response.

Reality TV is meant to make its audience believe what occurs on screen actually depicts what happened in real life during filming. It also wants its viewers to relate to the cast because they are seen as ordinary people just like them. ABC’s The Bachelor has been around for twenty seasons, and its counterpart, The Bachelorette, is coming up on its twelfth season; this clearly marks the success of the franchise. The Bachelor/Bachelorette has been around at length because of the formula it hides from its audience. This essay will explore how this reality TV series uses Jonathan Bignell’s television realities theories of realism and on documentaries as well as Julie A. Wilson’s theories on reality television celebrities to illustrate the cast
Rock of Ages by Chris D 'Arienzo opened this past weekend at Topeka Civic Theatre. Directed by Shannon Reilly, set in the Mid-Late Eighties the show’s music and story is heavily inspired by 80’s classic and especially glam rock of that time. Starring Greg Myer, bethany Dunham, Jeff Boyer, Brian Chambers, Danny Lassley, Jim Ramos, and many others.
The show opens with young editor Marisol Perez getting attacked while riding home on the subway, and her guardian angel interfering. Her angel tells her that God is dying, and that the world is spiraling out of control, so the angels are going to war to fix the situation. Without her guardian angel, Marisol has to fight for herself for the first time in a deteriorating city. She meets many interesting people, such as Scar Tissue and Ice Cream, both played by junior Michiah Swaim. “I enjoy my character Ice Cream and Scar Tissue because they are both different from each other yet they both reflect the different stages of crazy in Marisol,” said Swaim. Palmieri summed up the show by saying, “It’s got some humor, it’s got some social commentary. Although written in 1992, it really addresses some issues we’re struggling with now. If I had to say one sentence I would say: Marisol is about urban guerilla theatre.”
Having a senior show is a very hard experience, but it is incredibly rewarding. I feel like my show was a huge success and I only had a few minor hiccups along the way. One of the hiccups would be that I bought some frames to early.
America’s favorite surfer boys, The Beach Boys are currently on their Australasian tour in January of 1964.

In this review of West Side Story, critic Trish Causey is comparing the old version of the Broadway play, to the new version. The critic had a personal relationship wit the play mainly because she played a “Jet Girl” during the early production of the play. Causey expressed that she was pleased with the dancers training. I think this is very important in a live production because it make the play look more professional as a whole.

The Scholar Biography was an excellent assignment to incorporate into the Proseminar for Doctoral Study. Our group began by identifying the scholar, equally distributing the required elements and continuous effective communication throughout the research and completion of the assignment. Although we divided the sections according to our strengths and weaknesses, I believe we all worked together as a team to ensure that we were able to create a well written biography to share with each other, the class.
