Warren’s bestseller book‚ The Purpose Driven Life‚ asks its readers. I think that this is the same question that the play Agnoia tried to convey. Agnoia is a play performed by the FEU Theater Guild (FTG) last February 2013. The word agnoia is a Greek term which literally means “ignorance” – the perfect definition for man’s inability to understand his being. The setting of the play was in a hospital – as what the moving props (actors dressed and painted white) and the “Paging Dr. Linaw” suggests

Title of the play I went to see on April 21‚ 2017 is Grease. The theatre I had saw it in was at C.A Theatre and the company was Tarrant County Southeast Campus. The playwright of the play was by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey and the director of Grease is Steven D. Morris. My pre-show experience the first thing I saw was a person’s head‚ which I believe it‚ was the composer‚ which was cool because of how he rather stays hidden. In addition‚ I like how they had the curtains down with the title in bold

The sound of excitement was what I heard when I walked in. The sound of proud parents praising their children in the play‚ the sounds of students dreading their drama ISAs‚ the sounds of rushed footsteps‚ the sounds of the crowd settling down‚ the Sound of Music in its beginning. Last Wednesday‚ January 27th‚ 2016 I made my way to the City Playhouse to see my first CHAT school play‚ and I was looking forward to see what was in store for the audience that night! From the opening of the curtains to

counterculturalists from all walks of life coming together to learn from a Jesus figure. The play directly quotes the stories and parables found in the book of Matthew. While the play’s parables can be explored to find their overall message of love and redemption‚ the play can also be observed as an artifact of the countercultural movement. Godspell follows themes of joy‚ community‚ and reformation. Godspell’s characters begin the play trapped in the monotony of their everyday lives. Most of the characters appear

1. Discuss the genre‚ plot‚ and theme of this play. The theme is both racism and political correctness. The plot focuses on racism‚ but the 2009 couple of Lindsey and Steve expose the “liberated” views of the modern age. Racism is still creating tension in the house as it did in the 1950’s. The satire of the play has key moments of comedy‚ very needed due to the tension created by the suicide of Kenneth‚ and the changing neighborhood in both decades. The den of the house is the room that gives stage

I think that the Decatur High School production of the play “Into the Woods” by James LaPine and Stephen Sondheim‚ was really good. We went to see it on September 28th. It was a fast moving play‚ and the actors’ energy helped make it feel real. I thought it had good change of scenery. I also liked how it was based off the stories that we had grown up with. Finally‚ I thought that they interacted with the audience well. My first reason why I liked it was because of the change moments. I liked their

Incorruptible The play‚ Incorruptible‚ is full of deceit‚ irony and just a little bit of morally wrong acts committed by Christian monks. The first act begins with Charles the head monk of the church is praying to the relics of the Saint Stella. A peasant woman is trying to sneak in a few prayers without paying the church a penny to pray. Martin‚ another monk of the church‚ and Charles are arguing because their church is not getting very many donations and not making very much money. Saint

Florida Studio Theatre’s production of Butler by Richard Strand is witty‚ full of word play‚ and all too relevant. As a country embroiled in conversation around race‚ immigration‚ identity‚ and at the core of it all who has the right to humanity‚ this question is posed to us once again as with this play. Butler embodies both the past and present while presenting a unique opportunity to learn from it and change our future. At the top of Butler‚ both Major General Butler and Lieutenant Kelly refer
