The Wild Party. We chose this play not only because of its comedic erotica, but for the storyline of one young woman named Queenie going between two men trying to find herself. Viewing the musical at first you would think it was an erotic orgy the entire time, yet an emotional rollercoaster for queenie. Something big that attracted our group to this musical was how wildly dressed the characters were. For example, most of the time queenie was in her underwear or another lead character named Burr was dress as a dirty clown for most of the musical performance. It gives a insight into a woman who is not only trying to fill her desires, but to try and find that one person who she truly loves.
Filled with controlling obsession from Burr towards queenie, who found love in Mr.Black.
So to get to the point, the musical is basically a rollercoaster of love, death, jealousy, lust, and emptiness. Which is always great to see because it's so wild. In the roaring 1920's and the beautiful, young Queenie, although she tries, cannot find a lover able to satisfy her desires . until she meets Burrs, a man with a high sex drive for women .The new couple enjoy living together for awhile, until Burrs

Mrs. Turner is a mixed woman who dislikes and is racist towards darker black people. Mrs. Turner wants Janie to leave Tea Cake and go with her light-skinned brother. Janie isn’t interested, and Tea Cake despises Mrs. Turner. She views white people as some type of god whereas the black people are merely worshipers. Janie is also lighter skinned, so Mrs. Turner enjoys Janie’s company. Janie’s uninterested self feels that Mrs. Turner is racist but harmless. Tea Cake goes out of his way to get rid of Mrs. Turner with the fight in her restaurant.
The play depicts the feelings and thoughts of the people of their time. Their feelings are different then what we see today in our lives. The family had to deal with poverty and racism. Not having enough money and always being put down because of the color of their skin held them back from having a lot of self-respect and dignity. I think that Mama was the one who had the most pride and held the family together.
The production of Wait Until Dark preform by Center Stage was very good. The acting was very well done and the set looked very real. Alexis Jarvis did a wonderful job playing Susy Hendrix her scream of terror was really good. Lauryn Cosgrove did a wonderful job playing Gloria her outfit was really cute and her acting was very good. The play lasted a little over two hours, but that is to be expected. Everyone involved did a good job, they should be very proud of them self’s and their acting skills.
I think the playwright hopes to teach people that money isn?t everything and that people who are arrogant and selfish will get their comeuppances eventually. The moral of the play still, applies to today?s society because it makes us think about the things we do that involve ignoring people less fortunate than us when we realise that there are Eva Smiths all around us just waiting for a chance to make it through the cruel world we live in.
I think I agree with how the play was written. I believe it was written to relay a message to its readers on relationships and how they can explode in a fast manner. For example, the relationship that Jim and Dave had was ruined because on girl named Daisy. And because of her talking to both men it caused Jim to be considered guilty
Facing hardships, problems, or obstacles shouldn’t discourage one from completing their task or job. Many of authors usually put their characters through tough complications to show the reader that no matter what happens; anyone could pull through. In the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connel, the main character Mr. Rainsford gets stranded on an eerie island with a bad reputation. He meets General Zaroff and gets thrown into a huge hunting game, where his life is on the line. In the end, he wins the game and will continue to hunt animals, but not people, as the general once did. He will continue to hunt because one, hunting means everything to him. Two, he will not continue the general’s crazy ways, and resort back to the legal and non-dangerous to other humans sport. Third, he feels powerful when he becomes the hunter and not the hunted. Giving up hunting would be like giving up his life, so just because of a minor block he had to overcome, he will not give up hunting.

Lily and Rosaleen arrive on the outskirts of Tiburon, after a combination of hitchhiking and walking, hungry and tired. As Lily shopped in a convenience store for lunch, she noticed a jar of honey with the picture of the same black Mary as her mother’s picture. The store clerk points them in the right direction and they end up at the Botwright's house. As she is conversing with August Botwright, Lily notices something peculiar. As she lies on her cot she thinks to herself; “T. Ray did not think colored women were smart.
The theme of the play has to do with the way that life is an endless cycle. You're born, you have some happy times, you have some bad times, and then you die. As the years pass by, everything seems to change. But all in all there is little change. The sun always rises in the early morning, and sets in the evening. The seasons always rotate like they always have. The birds are always chirping. And there is always somebody that has life a little bit worse than your own.
I watched this movie because it was directed by Tyler Perry. I thought the movie was about women and their struggles to overcome them. Not much of that thinking has changed except now, with critical attitudes like the intrinsic and feminist literary theory analysis, the text has a broader meaning. For colored girls does not mean for black women only, it means for all women with beauty and different shades as they rise and take power.
This movie is a wonderful production starting from 1960 and ending in 1969 covering all the different things that occurred during this unbelievable decade. The movie takes place in many different areas starring two main families; a very suburban, white family who were excepting of blacks, and a very positive black family trying to push black rights in Mississippi. The movie portrayed many historical events while also including the families and how the two were intertwined. These families were very different, yet so much alike, they both portrayed what to me the whole ‘message’ of the movie was. Although everyone was so different they all faced such drastic decisions and issues that affected everyone in so many different ways. It wasn’t like one person’s pain was easier to handle than another is that’s like saying Vietnam was harder on those men than on the men that stood for black rights or vice versa, everyone faced these equally hard issues. So it seemed everyone was very emotionally involved. In fact our whole country was very involved in president elections and campaigns against the war, it seemed everyone really cared.
Her worse fears came true after she saw what was behind the doors of the forbidden room. The worst thing imaginable would be that her new husband was either abusive or a murderer and the latter seems to have been Carter’s choice for the Heroine. The Heroine realizes that her innocence has been taken from her from Marquis and she will now find herself in the same fate as the previous wives. “Nothing in my life of family love and music had prepared me for these grown-up games and yet these were clues to his self that showed me, at least, how much he had been loved, even if they did not reveal any good reason for it. But I wanted to know still more; and, as I closed the office door and locked it, the means to discover more fell in my way.” (Page 15). The Heroine herself admits that her experiences before her marriage to Marquis could not have prepared her for what she may find in the chamber or find out about Marquis. Her referral to “grown-up games’ in itself proves that even the Heroine believes that she may have been a little naïve going into this marriage and that she is not ready for the total package that may come with her new
The play is about a young woman, Catherine who had been taking care of her father during his last years of life. Anne Heche plays Catherine. Prior to this play, I have never seen Anne Heche in any acting performance. I have to say she did an outstanding job in her portrayal of Catherine. She did a fantastic job of immediately drawing you into Catherine’s world. She aptly portrays the characteristics of a girl who never got a chance to grow up and the slight madness of the genius she inherited from her father. One can easily feel sad for her because after all she gave up all her dreams to take care of her ailing father. Anne Heche plays Catherine so well that it easy for you to fall in love with Catherine and desire only good things for her.
The music was simply in my opinion, background noise which helped, especially at the beginning to put the audience in place and time. The main theme I believe that The Learned Ladies encompasses is approval and greed. This play looks at the limits we are willing to go for our own happiness, but not the happiness of others. I particularly enjoy the fact that in the end, we see the true colors of each complex character. Since it is a comedy I think it is funny that it makes light of the arguments between husband and wife.
The most significant part of the play is towards the end when the audience finds out that Nora is leaving, standing up for what she believes in, and in the process leaves her husband and children behind to find herself. Inciting Incident As you start to read the play, you begin to have a feel for the characters of Nora and Torvald. Nora
