The agreement stated the West would bear the production cost and Gaga would be responsible for specific set elements-such as her piano-that were used only in her performance.

    The stage in the concert hall isn’t necessarily known for their ample space, but the cast and crew made the most of it in this masterpiece. The orchestra was strategically placed in the basement of the stage which I thought was interesting because I have not seen anything like that done before. Every other play I’ve attended had the orchestra on the side. With the orchestra barely visible in the basement area, the music felt real like it was just playing from thin air or like you would hear music in a movie. The main part of the stage was the pie/barbershop with the big box on the 2nd floor of the shop being able to access the first floor from there. To the very right was a small wooden balcony to represent the bedroom window of Todd’s daughter Johanna, whom Todd’s friend Anthony and the judge are madly in love with. For the sake of the screenplay no other stage setup was really needed except for a small rolling stage where Todd had a shaving contest with Signor Pirelli in the middle of the town square.…

    The scenic designer had an important objective of creating an environment for the performers/performance. She had very little space to work with and created a workable environment with such little space. The cast was so large, and she did well by including few structures that didn’t conflict with the movement of the actors. The benches were easily moved around so that actors could sit around or have free standing place when needed. Many of the structures were also tall so they didn’t take up much floor space, but they still made an impact on creating the scenery for a small countryside town.…

    The Auditorium opera was placed in the inner court and simply took more than half of the structure. No signs symbolized the opera, as its only indicator was the tower which marked its entrance. The incredibly large auditorium consisted of more than four-thousand seats, which had been raised up to ten-thousand later on. This dramatic change of capacity made The Auditorium suitable for all kinds of events such as great political conventions. Technically, Sullivan had beaten the majestic traditional European style by designing an auditorium with no side seats. Moreover, he created a new concept in theater, he designed the auditorium in a circular shape that made it look like a stadium. This extremely smart and creative couple ,architecture and engineering, delivered the perfect appearance in the new type of ceiling work that was designed by the their perfect unity. The ceiling was designed as a conical tunnel that looked like a speaking trump. Furthermore, it increased in height and width the farther or closer you moved away from or upon the stage. Believe it or not, this incredible work that was done on the ceiling was not for attracting peoples attentions on its beautiful details, rather it was all about designing a tunnel based on scientific facts for the graduation and diffusion of sounds. Regardless of all the mind-blowing aspects of this art, the auditorium had a small stage making it a major negative feature, since…

    For over 25 years, American rapper Lil Wayne has grown to be one of the biggest and most influential lyricists in the hip-hop music industry. Wayne started rapping at the age of 12 and since then has discussed gang violence, guns, women, drugs, and his abundant wealth. In recent news Lil Wayne has stated that he has never dealt with racism. His defense is that because he is a young rich black man, that America must see clearly that black lives do matter. These statements didn’t come by surprise to most since many people see Lil Wayne (and many other rappers) as vulgar and degrading. Many critics see this type of lyrical content to be paralleled with a lack of education regarding social interactions and norms. Lil Wayne was questioned about his stance on the BLM movement on Fox Sports’ Undisputed on which he was questioned about Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand during the national anthem. Wayne is unable to see…

    The designers of the play are Basil Jones, Adrian Kohler, and Rae Smith; they created beautiful sets and costumes. The setting was very beautifully shown, but it was very simple. The stage which had no curtain was empty, apart from a projection at the back which was shaped like a torn piece of paper. This was effective because they used the projection to tell the audience what time of day it was, what season it was, and the time period. The projection was also cleverly used to move the story forward. The atmosphere in the Theatre was dark and dusty, this was created by dim blue lighting and was effective because it created the mood and the bare stage invited the…

    This video is a prime example of, and truly highlights, the double standard between the ways blacks and whites are treated. Another example in recent news of double standards is a video that was released of Kate Hudson, a white video actress, rapping to Trap Queen by Fetty Wap with her white son. The lyrics of this song talk about selling dope and smoking weed. Whenever Kate Hudson posted this video to her Instagram, it immediately went viral and was seen as ‘amazing.’ On the other hand, black people are labeled as ‘ghetto’ for rapping about subjects like…

    For a minute or two imagine the group of individuals who decided who wins the Nobel Peace Prize and why. One would normally imagine a group of intelligent, intellectual, educationally driven men and women. While discussing who would win the Nobel Peace Prize and why, these men and women probably talk about people who have impacted society and other people’s lives in a good way. Now, Kanye West, a known 21st century rapper, is someone you would not talk about in the same sentence, or in the same meeting discussion, as the Nobel Peace Prize. Publically Kanye West has gone off script and said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”, has said AIDS was a “man-made disease [that was] placed in Africa just like crack was placed in the black community to break up the Black Panthers”. And of course the most famous outrageous thing, Mr. West interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) because he thought Beyoncé should have won over Taylor. To many, Kanye’s celeb status is…

    tobacco and alcohol are due to the accidents and health conditions that arise from their use. This includes car accidents from alcohol use, cancer resulting from cigarette smoke, injuries in bar fights, and hundreds of other horrible effects resulting from the use of these two drugs. Marijuana however, does not share any of these effects with alcohol and cigarettes. Marijuana does not cause death, nor does it cause cancer, and it does not inflict upon the user or the state any negative effect which will be harmful. (Ferner 1) Hence, marijuana is very different from alcohol and tobacco; its legalization will not cost the states. It will however provide huge tax revenue profits and a great income from which the state can flourish.…
