hallway. Trusted curiously with three secrets; “Examine secrets that are entrusted to you”, “Remember where you come from” and “Look to what is inside yourself”, and given a role to play in the performance, it is distinctly different from traditional theatre.

First of all, the process will start with the dramagurge whose task it is to seek out a script or playwright (this may take several months or even years). Once the dramaturge’s suggested script is accepted by a producer (or theatre company), he/she (the producer) must begin to consider various questions: Who is going to create this show(…

we do not find ourselves wailing in the idea that we went to college for nothing. I am studying theatre in the performance aspect, concentrating in acting. I am actually leaning more towards the entertainment field rather than the artistic field, which does not require any sort of theatre education on a collegiate level, however I am here because while I want to be a screen actress, I do love theatre and I need the education in case I fail in my hopes and dreams.

All of the performers did very well in my opinion. Iliana Garcia, Kelly McCarty, and Kylee Smith Verhoff, Libby Rounds, Annie Sorey, Jimmy…

In Act 1, Giles was introduced as a silly old man…

Repress and Surface Illustrated An Analysis of the Figurative Language used in Itamar Moses’s “Authorial Intent” Itamar Moses’s “Authorial Intent” is not the ordinary play anyone would watch. Unlike conventional plays that run for hours, this production goes quickly. Without the audience knowing, they have reached the end. Also, another thing that spells the uniqueness for this piece is its bare-all type of conveying its intended message. One minute, the actors would be acting realistically,…
