Northwest Whitfield High School Theatre Company’s production of High School Musical. Being a fellow alumni of Northwest Whitfield High School, I was aware of the company’s productions; I knew of the success and acclimations awarded to the program. In addition, I knew about the hard work and dedication the musical director Josh Reuben puts into his musicals, and the actors strive for perpetual success in their performances. Therefore, I found it obligatory to check out this musical. All in all, I was
High School Musial is a musical movie that is revolves around Troy and Gabriella (roles played by Zac Efron and Vanessa Anne Hudgens, respectably.) The two meet while they are on holiday. The sing together but they never thought they would come across each other again. They were both mistaken, as Gabriella’s mom got transferred, and she got to attend the same school as Troy. Both were delighted to see each other, but their friends discouraged them both from being friends as each group thought the
A few months ago me and a friend went and watched High School Musical at Parkrose High School. High School Musical is about a story about two high schoolers, Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez from opposite cliques that try out for the leads in their school musical. Troy is a “jock”, the captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella is a shy “nerd”, captain of the scholastic decathlon. They inspire their peers not to “stick to the status quo” and get out of their comfort zones. Sharpay Evans, the “theater
Parody of “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” Dylan and Daniela are gleefully diving into their senior year at Westward High School. The two have been dating happily for 3 years and meet on quite unexpected terms. Dylan, the captain of the football team and a dreamy jock, seemly fell in love with Daniela, the nerdy but beautiful thespian. The couple, out of exceedingly low chances of meeting not only do just that but, fall in love. These two completely different teenagers just seem to have
Mostly everyone remembers the ‘High School Musical: Senior Year’, the last of three High School Musical series. The movie focuses on two teenagers preparing for the end of senior year and the beginning of their futures. For their senior prom you see everything like singing proposals, dancing on rooftops, the perfects dates. A lot of people can’t resist the thought of prom after watching this movie, but that isn’t the case for everyone. What’s behind the dresses and suits, is something no one wants
‘’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
yet from almost the same movie. With a twenty eight year age gap between the movies Grease and High School Musical, the differences are impossible to avoid, examples being the way the characters handled their problems. Their respective time periods influence the leading characters, (also called protagonists), Sandra Dee and Danny Zuko in Grease and Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton in High School Musical, each in the way society views women. Set in the 1950’s, a period often viewed as one of conformity
¨Grease is the word¨, and ¨what team? Wildcats¨ are well known phrases that emerged decades apart, yet come from almost the same movie. With a twenty eight year age gap between the movies Grease and High School Musical, there was bound to be some differences in the way the characters handled their problems. The leading characters being protagonists, Sandra Dee with Danny Zouko and Gabriella Montez with Troy Bolton all being influenced by how their time period saw women. Grease takes place in the
The average high school student has a list of classes that they absolutely must complete in order to graduate. This required list usually includes such courses as Algebra, Geometry, English Composition, Biology, etc. The idea that anything, let alone playing a musical instrument, should be added to this list of requirements is flawed and harmful to the student's development. Requiring all high school students to play a musical instrument would cause problems at both the school corporation and student
Two of my all time favorite movies are High School Musical and Hairspray. Both of these musical romantic comedy movies exhibit singing and dancing. Their plot lines are similar due to the fact that they revolve around important auditions as well as high school drama while both including humorous elements. While some differences between the two are evident, the similarities are prominent. I believe that Hairspray is the better of the two because it includes a more serious racial theme and centers
would come back in your life. Now think what would happen if you could fix all the problems you left unanswered. To me this book did a great job answering all my questions. Let’s first start off by telling you about Dawson and Amanda. They were high school sweethearts that had a great relationship. It was a complicated relationship because Amanda’s dad did not approve of Dawson. Dawson came from a family that was similar to today’s mafia so many people did not like him or his family.
To begin, the musical I went to watch was a high school version of the musical Grease. In the beginning, the male lead, Danny Zuko, meets a girl on the beach. At school, he tells his friends about her and how she doesn't live anywhere close to them. Little does he know that the girl, Sandy, recently moved and now attends his high school. Sandy (the lead female character) becomes friends with a bunch of popular girls, known as the “Pink Ladies”. When the "Pink Ladies" introduce Sandy to Danny at the
Heathers: The Musical The 2010 black comedy musical, Heathers, was written by Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy and was an adaptation of the 1988 film by Daniel Waters. The musical follows Veronica Sawyer as she navigates through Westerberg High School while dealing with being on the bottom of the social hierarchy and attempting to gain an in to the most popular clique: The Heathers. The musical deals with the social issues of navigating through social acceptance, teen suicide, as well as gun violence
gotten a chance to watch the show Glee? Glee starts of with the beginning of another school year; high school cheerleaders doing their routine and the jocks throwing a kid into a dumpster. (Pilot) I personally was not interested in the show at all. When I used to see previews of Glee during commercials I would immediately change it. I thought it would just be another show about high school students doing their musical performance but later, I decided to give the show a chance. After I watched “Glee”
Throughout my four years of high school, I have made many decisions that have impacted my life, both positively and negatively. From deciding to push myself in academics or learning how to drive, each decision is important in its own right. Ever since freshman year, I have been a member of the Montour Musical as a member of stage crew. A lot has happened since the first time we opened the red curtain to perform How Sweet It Was. Because of my hard work and dedication, I made the decision to become
High school is one of the foundations in a person’s life that make them who they are today. In middle school, watching movies High School Musical, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, A Walk to Remember, and Mean Girls, I would get an idea of what it would feel like to be in high school. After my eighth grade graduation, I was above and beyond excited to begin this new journey in my life. High school is an option for reinvention. This was my one chance at a first impression and I was ready to have a
in high school to the working middle class white collared males in an office setting. America perceive different race, ethnicity and even class groups through heavy stereotypes. In the movie Not Another Teen Movie, shows these different stereotypes about high school and teenagers through their groups/class and race. Many teen movies depict the standard high school setting and typically white or suburban high school. These movies tend to go against stereotypes and show a brighter side of high school
always bothered me because I considered the term “shy” to correlate with the word “weak”. Because of that, I attempted to join sports or groups that were involved with activities out of my comfort zone: sports, talent shows, and school plays. In my primary years of school, I didn’t have many friends, leaving me feel left out of place most of the time. All of my classmates were in sports and talked about their games and practices all the time. The sport that everyone seemed to have been most involved
told me I would eventually miss but yet took for granted. If I could go back, I would most definitely do things differently. High-school without a doubt is such a different experience compared to college in many aspects. There is far more freedom, it was not as difficult and it doesn’t require funds, but it certainly was not “High School Musical.” In addition, high school was a time to explore, whereas, college is a time to experience. From childhood to adulthood. There is so much liberty in college
Once I got to fifth grade on the first day of school my teacher introduced the book Coraline to our class. It was her favorite book to read to fifth graders. Everyday she read a chapter to the class. I loved this time because I hadn 't had a teacher read out loud to the class since first grade. I remember the book being very interesting and a little weird. When it reached
