Theater
Tyler Perry was named the “highest paid male entertainer in the world”, earning $130 million last year (Mail Online). What makes Tyler Perry’s work so popular in the acting business? The makings of his plays come from a very strong foundation. “It is easier to write about something that was experienced than to make something up” (Perry, 2010). Tyler Perry tells stories of the things that he is familiar with. Also, he bases his plays off of things that he has been through or someone close to him has been through. His significance is that he has a real story to tell, and he is determined to have it heard. Tyler Perry was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, as Emmitt Perry, Jr. His family consisted of three siblings, his mother, Willie Maxine Perry, and his father, Emmitt Perry, Sr., a carpenter. (Jet).

    I booked THAHN off of a taped audition, and I went out to shoot it in Atlanta. Tyler Perry has such a unique filming style, shooting like seventy pages a day in blocks by location. For example, we're at a crime scene on one day of shooting, so we get to shoot all the parts from six episodes that take place around that location. I play a police officer and I really can't say much more. After working with Tyler Perry and watching this filming style of his, it makes sense how he's able to produce so much incredible content every year. If you're basically shooting a feature film every single day, you can certainly turn out that volume of storytelling.…

    Michael Jackson Influence

    • 3 Pages

    Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on 1958, and it wasn’t short after that that he would hop onto the fast track to a life chock-full of success, happiness, turbulence, and controversy. At the extremely early age of five, Michael became the lead singer of the legendary Jackson 5, a group consisting entirely of his family members. With being as young as he was, Michael’s vocal work was amazing and he was able to showcase emotions very well. The Jackson 5 was eventually signed under Motown and the Motown music style can be seen as an influence in some of Michael’s later songs. Despite Michael launching his extremely successful solo career at the age of 13, he still continued to work with his family in The Jacksons (renamed from the Jackson 5 after their departure from Motown) and his numerous hit songs helped the group’s popularity even more. It cannot be stressed enough the impact that Michael’s family had on his career. His father’s determination to train his sons and turn the…

Perry, a committed conservative, grew up in a small, rural town called Paint Creek, where he worked on the family farm, played football and was a dedicated Boy Scout. Perry actually went to Texas A&M University and was an Aggie Yell Leader for the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets, graduating with the class of ‘72. Perry then enlisted in the Air Force, but was honorably discharged 5 years later with the rank of Captain. Perry went back to his home town and ended up marrying his high school sweetheart, and a few short years after had a son and daughter.

The American Musical Theater has evolved from its simple beginnings into it’s own genre in today's society through the help of diverse composers, writers and actors, along with cultural contributions.…
