Yesterday night I reviewed the play “The Miss Firecracker Contest” In Wilmington, North Carolina at Big Dawg Productions. The play started out as Carnell Scott, 24-year-old orphaned southern girl who lives in Brookhaven, Mississippi. She is tap dancing in her room with a purple leotard and some kitchen utensils used as creative batons practicing her routine for The Miss Firecracker Contest.
On March 31 I had the pleasure of seeing Hello Dolly at Mandeville High School. As a talented theater student at the school, I take the shows that are put on very seriously. Being involved in the show, helping make set pieces, and working box office brings light to me as an individual, every little helping hand counts. I want to make sure that my school represents theater in the best way possible. With this production put on, I am proud to say that I am a theater student in Mandeville High.
Noah Anthony Robles, to some this is just a name of some kid from some town, but to me, this is the name of the boy who changed my life completely. It was Friday May 15, 2015 at 10:00 p.m. when things took a turn for the worst, Noah committed suicide. Noah was no ordinary kid, he had big dreams, one dream being of course, to be an Aggie. See nobody ever expected for him to be one to take his own life, so on my ordinary Saturday night when I got that phone call confirming his death, my life took a huge turn. We in the FFA lost a brother, but the Robles family lost a son and a brother. Being in the FFA we never leave one to go through this kind of pain alone, so we all came together to unite as one big family and are slowly helping heal each

My first business experience at the age of 12 ignited my fascination for business. I created a website selling cartoon merchandise as an affiliate marketer. My ‘Spongebob’ website ranked No 1 in Google for major keywords and made over five hundred pounds. I grew up in single parent home and although I felt I missed out not having a father figure the struggles in life have only strengthened my personality and made me the person I am today. I have became strong willed, self-motivated, hardworking and caring.
“Theatre is like a gym for the empathy. It’s where we can go to build up the muscles of compassion, to practice listening and understanding and engaging with people that are not just like ourselves. We practice sitting down, paying attention and learning from other people’s actions. We practice caring.” (Bill English of the SF Playhouse). This quote accurately summarises the purpose of Children’s Theatre, to help the growth and understanding of children whilst also keeping them entertained through theatrical techniques. The National Theatre’s Cat in the Hat, along with our performance pieces of Cranky Bear and Possum Magic all showcased these techniques in a number of ways, whilst also subconsciously coinciding with the child development theories
‘’High school is the best years of your life,’’ is a shibboleth commonly used by adults, but how true is this expression? As high school is a time in which one obtains freedom and independency, without having many responsibilities, some adults consider those years to have been the best of their lives. However, plenty of adolescents repudiate this, as they endure a lot of pressure during their high school period. In this essay, I will argue that, although adults often regard high school as the best time of their lives, it is a social institution that can be very threatening to adolescents, as issues such as peer pressure and parental expectations, which become evident in the teen movie High School Musical, generate a lot of tensions that can
As the curtain came down, the audience roared. The same little girl is now twenty years old. She gets out her cell phone and quickly sneaks a picture of the beautiful golden curtain. Captioning the photo as “the best spectacular on earth”, she posts it to Instagram and hits over one hundred “likes” within minutes. She walks outside and looks up at the marquee. With a smile on her face, she walks to the subway dreaming of the day she will be on that stage. This celebrated theatre has found a place in her heart, creating an eternal love for New York and an eternal love for the beautiful landmark that is Radio City Music Hall.

When my mom asked if I wanted to see this year’s Lakeside musical, I honestly was a bit unwilling. It’s not that I didn’t want to support my two or three friends up on stage and in the crew; I just don’t have a very good track record with high school performances. I’m a critic: I have always been very critical of myself, and very critical of others. I unwittingly judge the actors onstage, and end up feeling guilty because I probably could have done no better. On top of this warped superiority/inferiority was the nature of the musical they were performing; all throughout third grade I had been obsessed with the movie-musical Hairspray. I knew all the songs, most of the lines, and wasn’t sure if anyone could top Queen Latifah. But I was mistaken.

The show Spongebob Squarepants has television watchers around the world hooked due to its wit and endearing characters. Taking place in Bikini Bottom, Spongebob Squarepants, the most prominent of all the characters, is a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. Most often seen at the Krusty Krab, Spongebob expresses his love of cooking krabby patties and provides an income for him and his pet snail, Gary. Run by the greedy Mr. Krabs, the Krusty Krab is a fast food restaurant envied by Plankton, a small creature that owns an unsuccessful diner near the Krusty Krab. Squidward, another Krusty Krab employee as well as Spongebob’s neighbor, is pessimistic about nearly everything. He constantly complains about Spongebob and only enjoys things
The 2000s/ 2010s brought in a wave of movie musicals- adapted from the stage shows. These brought new audiences into the theatre world, and for the first time in 20 years, brought a love to some of the timeless musicals. With slightly altered songs to appeal to a newer audience, these films brought in much needed money into the industry, with films including: Les Misérables, Phantom of the Opera, Rent, Hairspray, Mamma Mia, Fame- and many more. Together with this, musicals began to push the concept of the songs in them, with a wave of new styles being written. Rap musicals such as ‘Hamilton’ and ‘In The Heights’, Pop musicals including ‘Waitress’ and ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ and Rock musicals of ‘American Idiot’ and ‘Spring Awakening’. Together they pushed boundaries of a ‘traditional’ musical theatre sound, and brought in something never before seen. Due to the influence of ‘Rent’, controversial issues and themes began to be explored more, such as Teen suicide, Murder, Ethnic barriers and everything else, which brought with them, a world of opportunities. It was clear that musical theatre was once again showing for a promising
One of the Musical theatre’s greatest songwriters, Tom Jones once wrote, “It is clear that musical theatre is changing. No one knows where it is going. Perhaps it is not going to one place but to many.” (Making Musicals: An informal introduction to the World of Musical Theatre) Musical theatre, from its modest beginnings to the Great Broadway known to many today has affected a wide array of people and places. While it may have not always been labeled as such, the art of interspersing acting with singing and dancing has been a part of many cultures and *word.
