The Hanson Production was formed in the mid- 1950s by a husband and wife team and also, company had earned acclaim with its off-Broadway shows. The company goal was to further the advancement of the arts in New York City. As time passes, the quality and scope of Hanson Productions’ shows outgrew the off-off Broadway model. The president of production of Hanson Production (Joanne Shen) was facing several problems related to the making of different decisions about their current production. Joanne was facing the classic dilemma regarding quantity, quality and price. Shen’s main concern was what to do with her current production, a large-scale musical with a cast of 20. Considerably, amount of work still needed to be done to finalize the show
Broadway was one of the first forms of entertainment. Before there were television programs, or movies, there was Broadway. Broadway originated in New York in 1750, when actor-manager Walter Murray built a theatre company at the Theatre on Nassau Street. A musical would show about once every weekend. The shows were very male based, and would commonly show a relationship between young boys and their fathers. Women were slowly integrated into Broadway, and as society changed its point of view on women, so did theatre.
Jacob Grimm, a board member argued that GELT is not in it to “count beans” but to enrich the lives of others throughout”. In my opinion, I believe that Janet Dobbs proposed budget was shut down because she lost sight of GELT’s mission, and it is to “provide professional quality theater at an affordable price for the families of the greater Euclid area”. Even though the budget did well to address the
Being in a one-act show, then having the opportunity to direct one only months later, opens up an entirely new perspective regarding the endless labor required, necessary love for your craft, and vital engagement with your cast and stage managers. The One Act Festival of 2017 was one of the most difficult processes and performances of which I have ever been part, with both an intense emotional and physical toll. Now I am stepping once again into the same festival, but as a director -- an entirely new perspective.

As we dressed for the show, my thoughts were flooded with images and ideas. We descended the hotel stairs, hailed a taxi, and arrived at the theatre; while I remained in a pleasant daze. My first impression of the Nederlander met and exceeded all my expectations. I had envisioned an old theater, forgotten by the Broadway elite. As we walked to the door, we were able to see the wall signed by the cast and photos of the premier. The theater itself had a rundown feel to it and left you with the distinct impression that the magic was within the walls and on stage. As we entered the doors, I soaked in every thing. Our seats were located in the center, orchestra section, which gave us a perfect view of all the action.

All it takes is seven seconds to completely assess and categorize a person you’ve barely met. This has happened to everyone, especially as a student. Small visual clues such as one’s expression, their race, gender, demeanor, and clothing, set the precedent for how the teacher will view their students from the beginning of the school year to the last day. Most favoritism teachers dole out is subconscious. The reason they may gravitate towards and dote on particular kids could stem from the initial assessment they made or even bias. Humans tend to gravitate towards others similar to them. While there is the belief that teachers playing favourites is natural, necessary, and unavoidable, this behavior is harmful to the student, harmful to their peers, and is often completely irrational.
