For the live theatre show, I decided to watch “A Christmas Story, The Musical” directed by Valerie Easton at Vancouver Arts Club Stanley Industrial Aalliance Stage. The show focuses on a child named Ralphie, who wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas.Valerie’s production captured the happiness and cheerful atmosphere during Christmas and also focus on emphasizing Ralphie’s desire of a BB Gun as his Christmas present. During the show, I was impressed by many design and technical production elements. For example, the quick changes, the adequate use of theatre stage and also the use of sets to change from fantasy and reality. However, the most striking elements to me are the set piece of Ralphie’s house and the sufficient use of rigging system.…
A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Suess are very similar. First off, the setting of both stories are related since they take place in small towns and both begin on Christmas Eve and end on Christmas Day. However, the Grinch lived outside of Who-ville while Scrooge lived in his own small town, which is why no one knew of the Grinch and Scrooge’s whole town was familiar with him. This is also a reason why the Grinch strongly despised Christmas and wanted to end it instead of just not celebrating, like Scrooge. The Grinch was very lonely, even with his dog because he was never invited to parties whereas Scrooge was, even though he declined; this shows that Scrooge may not be liked, but at…
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas has many versions which originate from Dr. Seuss’s narrative poem. The most recent 2001 film by Universal pictures, produced by Ron Howard, has similarities, yet there are many differences in the movie plot. The poem’s similarities are the basis for the movie adaptation. The movie’s differences help to round out the characters and plot, describe character motivations, and enhance the entertainment value.…

If you have hope you are constantly working toward the something you looking forward too.…
The Art Centre Theatre in Plano, Texas showcased a marvelous play based on Tim Burton’s movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Originally generated as a poem, this tells a story about Jack Skellington, a citizen of Halloween Town, who coincidentally tumbles upon a portal that leads to Christmas Town and becomes determined to celebrate the holiday with barbarous and witty repercussions. The cast and crew members of the Art Centre Theatre executed the play miraculously.…
In the Nightmare before christmas, the story tellers use the Hero’s spiritual death and rebirth to show that we as humans have good intentions can end up going wrong because we get so clouded by our visions of what we portray as right and forget about the people around us that we are affecting.…
The Author Borden Deal wrote the story the Christmas Day hunt and I think the theme is things are usually not as bad as you think they are.My first reason I think that is because when he shot the dog he thought his parents were going to be really mad at him.Then on Christmas Day he was feeling really bad about his self and he was bummed that he probably would not get the bike he wanted.So when he was opening his present, he was mad because he did not get the gifts he wanted. Then he peeked out the window and saw all the hunters coming in from the hunt and he saw him dad wave him over there.So he slowly walked over there not knowing what his dad was going to say.Then his dad had him opening a little box,and guesse what was in there a little…

The evening sky glister down to the reflection of the streets covered in white snow, little crystals shining brightly as ever. I reached Chiyoda where Itachi told me to meet up. As I was waiting in front of the Tokyo station, I watched strangers with their families, friends or beloved ones laughing and chatting. Additionally, I admired that the city transform into a sparkling winter wonderland as millions of colorful lights are displayed on trees, on and around buildings. It was truly a remarkable and unbelievable sight.…
