    Theatre is a very competitive business. Hundreds of actors can show up to an audition and half of them may not even get seen by the casting team. Out of the people who are seen‚ only a few may get a job. Auditioning is a difficult process and not only your skill is judged but also your appearance. Some roles are written for specific ethnicities but the casting team doesn’t always honor the writers’ intentions. Many roles written for non-caucasian actors are given to caucasian actors.

    I attended the traveling Broadway production of Disney’s Newsies on February 14th‚ at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis. Being a fan of the movie but not knowing much about the musical‚ I was not sure what to expect. However‚ the show was a huge success‚ and it definitely has earned a place as one of my favorite musicals of all time. This musical was very dance heavy‚ and the dancing was not by any means easy.

    The flames dance wildly‚ consuming the once majestic Globe Theatre. I can hear the crackling of wood‚ the screams of panic‚ and the smell of burning timber filling the air. My heart races as I scramble to escape the inferno‚ my thoughts racing with fear and disbelief. The memories of past performances flood my mind‚ contrasting sharply with the chaos unfolding before me. The vibrant atmosphere of Shakespeare’s plays is now replaced by the terror of this catastrophe. The heat is intense‚ searing against

    The first moment of theatre I chose to stage is when Cyrano and Christian went to go see Roxane in the middle of the night.This scene prior to this moment was very important. Roxane and Christian sits outdoors and Roxanne ask Christian to tell her how much he loves her and he tries‚ but all he can say is “I love you” “I love you very much” and Roxanne gets infuriated and went inside the house.
