I went to Thailan Association Community Theatre to see Really Rosie directed by Marilyn Scott. The backdrop for the stage was made to resemble 2 townhomes where
Rosie and her friends the nutshell kids live on the same block on Avenue P. On a hot summer day, the children were bored and need something to do. Rosie dressed in a baggy red dress, a huge sun hat, long white satin gloves, and pearls and a feather scarf wrapped around her neck with sneakers on. Whom is a bossy little girl with a huge imagination and pretends to be a famous star and produce a movie musical. She asked her friends to help her come up with a name for the movie. While outside with her friends Rosie’s mom yells for her to come get her bother, Chicken Soup. Rosie does …show more content…

He had a nonchalant attitude and kept repeating “I don’t care” through the play. He doesn't want anything to do with Rosie's film, and insists that he doesn't care what happened to Chicken Soup. Rosie tricks him into doing an audition by telling him that Chicken Soup was in fact eaten, and Pierre enthusiastically tells his own life story, "Pierre". In it, he is a willful brat who announces "I don't care!" in response to everything and refuses to behave. A lion threatens to eat him, but he still claims not to care. After he is eaten, Pierre's parents find the lion sick in Pierre's bed, with their son's voice still saying "I don't care!" from within. After freeing Pierre from the lion, he changes his mind and decides that he does …show more content…

But at first she was not allowed to audition, she wore white capris and a blue tank top. Rosie had decided to make Kathy the secretary. Kathy finally gets her chance to audition when a thunderstorm force the kids into the cellar. She then appears back on stage in a black dress, to represent being a vampire and performance “Ballad Chicken Soup”. After everyone had done their auditions, Rosie finally decides to tell them what happened to Chicken Soup; he had prepared a bowl of soup and didn't notice the small bone and choked to death. The kids decide to act this out, and Chicken Soup himself enters the stage, with a box with straps hanging off his shoulders. Made to look like a car. He appears perplexed as to why everyone is lying down.
Rosie insists that he audition as well, and the others wanted to join in. The entire group performs "Chicken Soup with Rice", a song which celebrates the dish in a different way for every month of the year. After they finish, Rosie tells her friends that they can all be in her movie, but by now they have lost

  • Blue Collar Brilliance Mike Rose Analysis

    In the article, “Blue-Collar Brilliance” by Mike Rose, he begins with an anecdote of his mother working her blue-collar job at a diner as a waitress. Rose vividly describes her common day that is packed with a constant array of tedious tasks she has to accomplish to make her living. The authors goal appears to be making the reader appreciate the hard work of blue-collar workers because society places a stereotype on them as being less intelligent than someone with more schooling or even a white-collar job: “Our cultural iconography promotes the muscled arm, sleeve rolled tight against biceps, but no brightness behind the eye, no inmate that links hand and brain” (282). I agree with Rose’s conclusion that if we continue to place a stigma on
