Register to read the introduction…

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.” Most TJ productions are put on in the auditorium, but Marisol is being rehearsed and performed in the smaller Black Box theatre. “The Black Box theatre is smaller,” elaborated Palmieri, “but that makes it a very intimate event, where the audience is very close to the actors. As matter of fact, the actors at some points are out in the audience, which makes for a kind of unique experience; things like lighting cues, set pieces just kind of spice it up. I think people will recognize the touch TJ theatre puts on

    The beginning of the performance, where the scene is completely darkened with a bit of light behind the curtain and several girls dancing at the background where loud laughing is heard intrigued the audience. It is impossible to understand what is happening on the stage, and the observers are waiting to see the rest of the performance in order to find out what is actually going on. The beginning of the theater play was both intense and exciting. The use of light has strongly contributed to this, as far as the total darkness could be considered to have symbolic meaning besides being used to direct audience 's attention. The spotlight is often directed at the central point of the play, the most important actor speaking or acting on the scene.

    “Shameless”: did showrunners stop romanticizing the typical working class family? American TV shows have always loved to follow a typical poor family. This base on which a plot could easily be developed has been popular since the late 1980’s like the TV shows “Family matters” or “My wife and kids”. Those TV shows never really presented an accurate depiction of the traditional working class family since the audience of those shows was only looking for a simple entertainment without any challenging ideas or criticism of the inequality within a country.

    This creative piece is a response to the Venus’ ability to manipulate her oppressors in order to get what she wants in the novel The Venus by Suzan Lori-Parks. For this response I used text from scenes 30, 22 , 20I, and 9. I used scence 30 because this scene shows how the Venus uses seduction and her body to get what she wants from The Brother. She is in a room alone with him and he is displaying interest in her and is trying to pursue her because they have a history. The Venus uses these feelings that he has for her to get a dress because that is what she wants.

    Society today is extremely proficient at discussing societal issues. Every day it seems we can add another term to describe the interactive experiences of persons within society. Every day we have conversations about these issues. Every day, it seems, we are willing to sit and theorize about how we can remedy these issues but ,very rarely, are we given an embodied lecture on how and when we perpetuate these thoroughly discussed and theorized societal issues. This is what I believe the theatre brings to table.

    Traditional theatres aim at making the characters seem larger than life. Avid audiences of traditional theatres understand that these characters and their expressions, with the use of mask and/or makeup are not realistic, are exaggerated. However, the audience also accepted the amplification of characters as theatres norms, thus able to decipher and appreciate. For example, it might be enjoyable for noh theatre goers to respect and admire the use of Hannya mask in noh Dojouji play, but its grotesque features might be disturbing to those unable to understand the mask. Moreover, the elaborated, heavily - embellished costumes compliment the stylized movements but also limit the actors’ acting on satge in traditional theatres.
