Love, Loss, And Lyrics: Theatre Analysis

231 Words1 Page

On Friday October 23rd, 2015, I saw the Theatre and Choir show called “Love, Loss, and Lyrics”.

When she sang “Wildest

This year the show commenced with False Advertising, and it was followed on to Crowd Control, TBA and Bad Grammer, each group generally performed a series of long-form skits and short-form games that allowed them to demonstrate their compelling comic prowess. In addition, the performers were able to get everyone gleefully involved and engaged, often asking the audience for ingenious and witty ideas for them to use in the skits—although as the evening progressed, the air filled completely with wondrous ideas from

    This Halloween, I went and saw Carrie The Musical at the Brunish Theatre in downtown Portland. I was seated near the front row, so I was able to be very close to the actors. All the actors seemed very confident on the stage; their motions were swift and steady, and their voices were loud enough for everyone in the audience to hear.

    Imagining the effects of getting rid of the Endowment can be hard to simply imagine, which is why some may be so eager to eliminate the Endowment altogether. When there is no tangible view of what could be lost, one can easily say that for the greater good, one could survive without the object.

    Shakespeare’s renowned play Twelfth Night centers around love, both in platonic and romantic instances. Characters display elements of self, brotherly, amorous, and friendly love towards one another; however, of the relationships portrayed, the strongest ones are those between men.
