Hawkeye Community Theatre Analysis

For our critiquing assignment in our Introduction to Stagecraft 1, I ventured to downtown Toronto, to a small indie theatre called, The Unit 102 Theatre. There I saw the production of MISS; written by Dora Award-nominated playwright Michael Ross Albert who wrote such works as Tough Jews, The Spadina Avenue Gang with the Storefront Theatre. The set takes place in the aftermath of a shocking accident in a boarding school classroom, the story explores the tenuous connection between a high school teacher, her fiance, and a troubled student whose lives have been irrevocably changed by tragedy caused by a miscarriage, an affair, and the fear of the consequences that are not yet revealed, and finally, murder. This is a one act showdown between three

An effective organizational mission statement must, according to Fundamentals of Arts Management, “answer the central questions: why an organization exists, whom it aims to serve, and what business it is in” (Boyle-Clapp and Brown 2016, 130). The Omaha Community Playhouse’s mission statement displays both strengths and weakness in these three categories. The organization projects the image of an active engager, seeking to impact their community for the better. As The Omaha Community Playhouse presses forward, a key piece to understanding their mission is looking back to their origins, more specifically, how and why OCP was born.

Owen Sound Little Theatre currently employs one contractor and three casual labourers to clean and maintain the Roxy Theatre at a total annual cost of $20,437. Figure 1 is a summary of current costs.

On November 4th, 2016, my best friend and I went to see the play at the Charles Winter Wood Theatre. This play is set during the 1950s, and the scene takes place in a night club in Chicago. This play was sponsored by FAMU’s Essential Theatre, and it was quite entertaining. It presents realistic situations such as the affairs, jealously, and debt in relationships. The director, Maurice Kitchen, wrote this play to present the Black artists who used their talent to escape the difficulties they have faced. The main character, Billy Gamble, was a show host and performer, who used his patients with musical talents to be on his show. Important aspects seen in the play were love and fame. The musicians expressed their feelings within their music.

The set used for Vernon God Little was highly symbolic and simplistic; when we walked into the theatre we could visually see that there were flowers, cards and memorable items attached on the audiences seats above our heads, which already created a sombre atmosphere around the theatre.

The 20th Century was home to many important events in history, one of the most memorable being The Great Depression. Unemployment was at an all time high, businesses were forced to shut down, and suicide rates were through the roof. New York City was no exception. 213 of it’s 253 theaters were forced to close, putting hundreds of thousands of theater people out of work. In these devastating times, a hopeless yet admirable organization known as the Federal Theatre Project (FTP) was created by request of President Roosevelt. Originally created to preserve music and art, this project consumed government funds, was plagued by censorship, and was blatantly biased in social issues, with the end result being far from it’s original goal.

As a volunteer at the People’s Bank Theatre, not only have I been welcomed into a new part of the community here in Marietta but a new family as well. Under the direction of the volunteer coordinator Sarah Eels, the volunteers operate in a very harmonious manner where each volunteer is able to thrive individually to wholly contribute to the group. Within this essay, I will discuss both how the theatre’s adaptability and relationship to the community correspond to Morgan’s idea of organizations working as organisms.

As for the first theatre, I chose Book-It Respertory Theatre. Its location is at The Center Theatre in Seattle, Washington, and the address is 305 Harrison St, Seattle, WA 98109. They have just finished with the show “Emma”, which came from the book that Jane Austen wrote. During May, they will start with a new show called “The Brothers K”, and it is written by David James Duncan. Although I have never read this book before, the review said it’s one of the great American novel one hasn’t read. As for the current artistic director, Myra Platt, she will be leading and directing the show for “The Brothers K”. The theatre started in 1990, and it has been able to continue operating for twenty six years with the hard works of its members’.

Detroit Theatre Collective will mount a production of a classic play that examines corporate oppression, family dysfunction and the fading mirage of the American dream.  We will unearth the timely (and timeless) content of this work, such as economic 'folklore' of the lower classes and the lies that we tell ourselves in order to survive.

The decision for the United States to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki has been debated since the days they were dropped, just as it was debated in the days leading up to the drop. It is a debate that people will likely always disagree on, considering it is such a high controversial topic. The United States had been fighting the Japanese Empire for years, and had not made any significant strides that indicated a success any time soon. Due to this seemingly never ending struggle, the United States made the decision to drop two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These bombs were more deadly and destructive than any weapons had ever been before and caused the suffering and death of thousands of innocent civilians.

Hannibal, Missouri is where I currently reside, my family and I moved from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Shortly after we secured housing in Hannibal, I was able to find employment as a case worker at Clarity Healthcare Systems (CHS). First job in the social service field, I was excited to get started and meet the first individual I would have as a client who was a new intake to CHS. During the first meeting with this client he reported that he had some Auto Immune Disease but could not recall what exactly it was. Nervous already, I did not go further into the topic because I was uncomfortable and I thought he was talking about AIDS. When we spoke about his treatment plan goals, his most urgent concern was finding another house due to an eviction

The nature of the theater audience has changed throughout history, cyclically evolving from a participatory crowd to a group of people sitting behind an imaginary line, silently observing the performers. The theater scene of Washington D.C is no exception. Much like politically-influential Athens, Rome, and London before it, this great city also ranks as one of the extraordinary cultural capitals of the world. The main topic studied in class was the naissance and realization of regional theater in our nation’s capital. Zelda Fichandler, D.C’s regional theater forerunner observed that “[O]ur descendants will ask how we came to do this with our theatre and why we waited so long and labored so confusingly”. The honest answer to these questions

The Setting was the major part that I looked out for. The similarities I found was the movie theatre, the park, and most importantly the church. In the novel, the setting was shown when the greasers when to the theatre as said in the novel. Similarly, in the movie, this was also illustrated. The park was another location that was similar in terms of both, as the action took place and the fight. Lastly, the church was likewise shown. It was well described and “old”, and in the movie, the church was shown in the context and the fire scene. The fire scene was well shown, as the kids were there stuck, teachers yelling and all. Moving on, there were a couple of differences regarding the setting. It was said that Soda pop worked at the patrol station

But what are the advantages and disadvantages of having a short term compared to a longterm relationship with the partners in the supply chain??

What appealed to me the most about Grinnell is the neighbourly environment created by the interpersonal student-teacher relationship. To me a backdrop wherein a student can not only learn from his teachers inside the classroom but also be mentored outside of it, is fundamental for the holistic development of a student. The opportunity to work with and receive guidance from Grinnell's renowned faculty can only strengthen my conceptual understanding. I was also pleased to learn about the emphasis being given to the history and literature of a drama instead of just the study of its text at Grinnell's Theatre
