The adults in Salem, Oregon in Stephen Karam’s Speech & Debate had good reason to treat the teens as if they were children. If Diwata, Solomon, and Howie were an accurate representation of the other students at the school, it is no wonder that the parents, teachers, and school board sought to exercise an abundance of control and provide too much guidance in their lives. The three teens dealt with “grown-up” issues throughout the play, but they tried to tackle them in characteristically childish ways. In the opening scene of the play, viewers are introduced to Howie, an openly gay 18-year-old.

The Tuesday, March 28 performance of Ithaca Colleges production of The Cradle Will Rock emphasizes the Brechtian element of distancing the audience from the performance that Blitzstein 's original script lacks. Before the show began, the actors and the stage manager casually roamed about the stage, at times talking with friends in the audience or each other, played a few notes on the piano, and did microphone checks–all out of character. From the spectators ' first moments in the theatre, a clear distinction between the actors and their characters can be seen. Throughout the play, the actors helped move around various props on wheels, such as the piano, a bar counter, and pews. In addition, arching from stage right to left and arching
The house was almost entirely filled and the show was about to begin. As the show began, I had noticed that they incorporated young children in the play; at the beginning, they were sitting around in a circle and throughout the play, they had them sit in a single line on each side of the stage to signify that story telling appearance. However, they also got up to sing along on stage with the rest of the cast, which was an interesting feature of the show. I enjoyed seeing the characters walk up the stairs along the sides of the auditorium; even though the actors are not necessarily breaking the fourth wall, it made me feel as though I was involved and being recognized. I appreciated the fact that the entire cast were all under the age of twenty, which can really make a difference in the eyes of younger viewers; as a young audience member, seeing actors my age made me feel relatable to them compared to an older cast.

In the beginning of the show you get this overwhelming feeling that this family has does not listen to each other.

I attended the Student Jazz Concert at the Bruce Owen Theatre located on the campus of OCCC on October 17, 2017. The group that was performing consisted of students from the Southeast High School and OCCC. I decided to attend this concert from the recommendation of my teacher, Professor Boyle.

On March 28th, I had the pleasure of attending the Broadway show called “The Play That Goes Wrong,” located at the Lycuem Theatre on 149 West 45th Street. On this particular Tuesday evening, I just had a vibe that something wrong was going to happen in this play – shockingly. I did believe this play will truly be memorable judging by the fun quirk of the show’s name. After watching the performance for about two hours, I can conclude that this play went beyond my expectation as its set disasters and characters amusingly caught the attention of me and the rest of the audience.
In the end of the play the girl becomes pregnant, and the boy is shot and killed. I personaly did not like this play because it was very confusing.

Normally I love going to see plays, but with this play I could not wait for it to be over.
