Performances are set for 7 p.m. Oct. 6 through 8 and 2 p.m. Oct. 8 through 9 at the Jan E. Jones Arts Center on campus.

The play tells what happens when an athlete and shy student try out for their school’s musical production. This show was derived from the 2006 Disney Channel Movie about the all-star captain of the East High basketball team and the new highly intelligent, “brainiac” girl who decide to break away from their friends and stereotypes to, together, pursue what they truly love to do. This unpopular decision

    The Great God Pan Play Analysis

    We’ve all experienced it before, the pursuit of forgotten memories; the tinge of helpless perplexity that stumps our consciousness, bothering us until our obstinacy relents to a shrug of the shoulders. Amy Herzog’s play, The Great God Pan, explores such sensations. Burgeoning playwright Amy Herzog attempts to illustrate this pursuit through the character Jamie, a potential victim of child molestation. This November, The Great God Pan opened at Davidson College’s Barber Theatre. Directed by Dr. Sharon Green, the gingerly evocative play provided an opportunity for six Davidson students to grapple with Herzog’s mature and sensitive characters.…

    Analysis Of The Musical Rent

    April 29th 1996, Broadway’s Nederland theatre is sold out to capacity and the audience is gritting their teeth with excitement, but an overture is nowhere to be heard, the curtains are missing and the haphazardly placed lighting rigs have not yet dimmed. All at once, the stage erupts with cast members running in-between and out of the industrial themed set, a strum of a guitar is heard and a critically acclaimed overnight sensation is born in the image of Jonathon Larson. Adapted from the popular opera La Bohème, Rent the musical was created in the hopes of representing the minute bohemian culture of New York City at the end of the 20 century who were confronted with impoverishment, HIV and homosexuality.

    Two of Broadway’s most talented voices emerged from the hit musical, “Wicked.” Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth both had been in broadway shows long before but wicked was the one that blew them into stardom. The musical displays numerous singing acts that tell the story of a girl who grew up slightly different from the rest and a stereotypical popular girl that tried to help her gain her confidence. Idina and Kristen’s voices are like no other in the musical because their voices bring our qualities in their character that complement the character so well. The dark alto tones of Idina plays off of the envy and awkwardness her character constantly lives with.…
