    Jared Brown wrote The Theater in America During the Revolution pulls together information in these foundational histories, supplying them with research in contemporary newspapers and playbills. Brown declares what he thinks should be considered American drama by focusing on all theatre happening during the Revolutionary War. The difficulties of defining American literature increased with the addition of theater, where individuals, troupes, and texts traveled between Europe and the colonies. Brown’s book helps narrow the scope to the theatrical events occurring within geographical bounds. By focusing on the entertainment value of plays performed by both sides’ soldiers.…

    Through study of Moises Kaufman’s The Laramie Project and Paul Brown’s Aftershocks I have found that simply collecting and performing testimony will not make for exciting theatre. It is necessary that the structure of the testimony be manipulated in order to engage the audience. Both plays employ a range of dramatic techniques which help bring the characters and their stories to life.…

    "King Hedley II" is the fourth play of Wilson's Century Cycle. Wilson's plays are linked, they're all examinations of the African-American experience in the 20th century, decade by decade ; but yet they don't form a single story when pieced together. They're all separate stories. King Hedley is an ex-con trying to scrape up the down payment on a better life. Ruby appears in the play as King Hedley’s mother, but we learn that her son has been raised by, her aunt, Louise. King is devoted to a blurred memory of his father, but we know before he does that his real father is not truly who King Hedley believes it to be. Ruby's lover, Elmore, has been her love affair on and off for decades.…

    From the inside, the globe theatre was just like I had expected it to be, the walls were decorated with carved- in paintings that had probably faded away throughout the years because you couldn’t see much of them now. The room was brightly lit by the sun and there was a massive stage in the middle where the actors acted out. At the back of the stage there was the musician’s gallery where the sounds took place. At the entrance I had to pay 5 pence for my seat. It would have been better sitting where the upper-class citizens (gentlemen’s rooms) sat but I was short out of money and thought it was too expensive, it would have cost me one shilling! Although it must have been worse for the lower –class citizens because they had to stand to watch the show.…

    In one cold afternoon of December 30 1903 in Chicago, about 2000 patrons most of whom were women and children assembled in Iroquois theatre. In addition, about 400 performers and stage actors were jammed in the basement, backstage and dressing rooms to witness what was surely an exciting show. The audience was full of anticipation in readiness to watch a musical comedy, Mr. Bluebeard. Five weeks prior to the staging of the music comedy, the 1,700 capacity Iroquois theater had just been opened with much excitement from the public and the press (Marshall 1904).…

    Jim Leonard Jr.’s The Diviners is a compelling story shrouded in symbolism for the audience to decipher for themselves. This year, Saxon Drama is presenting the show March 10, 11, 17, and 18 at 7 p.m in the Rose Auditorium at South Salem High School. Tickets are $8 for students and senior citizens and $10 for adults. The show’s director, Robert Salberg, has a strong affinity for the script claiming that “No script has ever stuck with [him] like The Diviners.” The show is a very personal show that every member of the cast can relate and dive head first into, it seemed that every actor had their own theories about why they were there and their characters’ back stories.…
