Colleges and employers continue to grapple with the fact that students in the United States are not prepared for the demands of higher education and the workforce.
'God bless us-everyone.' So what happens now? Or-rather-next? Since we've been at Christmas Carol for so long, there is almost always a discussion at some point about what happens after the story. So-Scrooge 'became as a good a man ...' Does he stay that way? What happens to Tiny Tim? We know he does 'NOT'(emphasis Mr. Dickens) die. What about Fred? The rest of the Cratchits. And how do their stories relate? Do they?
Sunday, December 15th, at 7:00 p.m. A night that Doug Quattrock will remember for the rest of his career. This night marks his 500th performance in Theatre Three's production of A Christmas Carol. This represents ten years of work, spread out over twenty-five years. It is hours upon hours of rehearsals, long days with double (and, at one time, even triple) performances. It is the lifting of Tiny's of varying shapes, sizes, and, most importantly weights (and don't underestimate the power of the center of gravity).
Why must the show go on? It can't be all that indispensable. To me, it really isn't sensible on the whole, To play a leading role, While fighting those tears you can't control. Why kick up your legs When draining the dregs Of sorrow's bitter cup? Because you have read Some idiot has said 'The curtain must stay up!'

Jorge Gonzalo, David Ordinas, Laura Castrillón e Inma Cuevas protagonizan este nuevo musical de la compañía Tela-Katola. La historia, en clave de comedia negra, trata temas como la obsesión por la fama, o el daño que pueden causar tanto el exceso como la falta de atención por parte de una madre.
Dopo un primo showcase tenuto quest'estate e qualche data estiva di try-out, L'Ultima Strega - frutto dello sforzo produttivo di GiuliaEventi - debutta al Teatro Brancaccio, tentando il contatto con il pubblico romano (che, si sa, non e certo uno dei piu facili da conquistare!). Cominciamo dalle definizioni. Nel corso del tempo, in locandina, sono apparse varie diciture: pop musical, il musical - pop drama, musical drama... ma, in fin dei conti, cos'e L'Ultima Strega? Sicuramente, non e un musical (almeno, non in senso stretto). Abbandonando le solite disquisizioni scolastiche sulla distinzione piu o meno netta delle varie declinazioni di teatro musicale, il musical - nell'accezione piu americana del termine - e una produzione teatrale, televisiva o cinematografica che fonde dialogo, canto e danza per raccontare una storia convincente in modo convincente.
