Cultural Event Analysis: Heathers: The Musical The Center for the Living Arts is a small building in the downtown district in Rock Island. The district was dead except for the small line outside of a locked door. The 1989 movie Heathers had a cult following‚ people today have the same passion for Heathers: The Musical. I had first heard of the musical from people online raving about how good it was and how catchy the songs are. After I had sat though Davenport West’s spring play Seussical‚ I needed

immediately came across my mind. From listening to this song during soccer game warm ups‚ to quietly being indulged in my own headphones while studying for high school exams‚ this song was like no other in my ITunes library. On top of its amazing use of musical elements‚ I especially love this song because of its connection to certain socio historical factors and the pure raw meaning behind its lyrics. Although the reaction to this song was quite mixed‚ and stirred a lot controversy‚ it was the most defining

Movie Theaters vs. Movies At Home Movie theaters can be a fun thing to do with friends and family‚ but staying home and watching a movie can be just as great. Americans last year spent an average of $9.87 billion on tickets alone. Americans who stayed home saved a lot of money‚ were more comfortable‚ and probably had just as good of a time. First of all‚ the financial aspects of going out to the movies are the most appalling factor when you consider the facts. On average‚ a person will go the

At its greatest height‚ Noh performances consisted exclusively of male performers (Wetmore‚ 2008). “During the Tokugawa Period‚ women performers were not allowed to train as professional Noh actresses or to act on stage in the traditional theaters.” (Patrik‚ 2008) Not only Noh theatre excludes female performers‚ it also often portrays women as “the root of all evil” (Zarilli et al.‚ 2010).

Why a Musical Instrument is an Important Hobby Audience: Students just starting secondary school. I don’t know how many of you play an instrument‚ but I personally have been playing the drums for just about two years now. Although I don’t play in a band or even have a strict practising routine I find them to be a key part of my life now‚ something that I would find very difficult to live without. As you are starting secondary school‚ this is an ideal time to start playing an instrument. Not necessarily

A strange man dawning a plain white‚ expressionless mask and a KFC bucket with a bumper sticker labeled “FUNERAL” in big black bold letters. That is all a person sees when looking at a photo of the man for the first time‚ without hearing even a single piece of his music. What they don’t know about the man is that he has become one of the top‚ most hard working performers in the music industry of the last 25 - 30 years. Buckethead has performed on more than 90 albums‚ both solo and in collaboration

The “High School Musical” Genre Individuals view high school as an institute where students face overwhelming social standards and unrealistic expectations on a daily basis. Social chains rank the stereotypical cliques such as jocks‚ nerds and drama kids.

These factors have become so prevalent in today’s society that a whole new film genre has been dedicated to school

In my theater class I was given the assignment of having to write a critical review of the play "Steel Magnolias‚" by Robert Harling. So on the Wednesday before the holiday weekend (Rosh-Ha-Shana) I decided to make the trip over to the Hand Chapel on the Mount Vernon Campus‚ to see this play that I had already convinced myself was going to be dreadful‚ or at least that was what I wanted myself to believe. It was for this reason that in the beginning I wanted to be over critical and to pick apart
