Grey Gallery

Visiting this gallery was a very unique experience. I learned about Pope L, who was previously unheard of by me, as well as got a glimpse of Iranian art that I would have never gotten any opportunity to see.

Costumes in Midsummer Night’s Dream

The costumes in this play truly made the entire experience an even more magical one. Each costume added more depth to the character and truly transformed the plot into a lifelike experience.

Romeo and Juliet – Costumes

When walking into the theater, I already knew the costumes wouldn’t be similar to the attire

of the time the play took place, and I was correct. The characters wore the same outfits

basically throughout the entire play, except for certain very special events (wedding, party,

and funeral). The most intriguing outfits were during the costume party, which seemed to

resemble a Halloween Ball due to the giant Winnie the Pooh head, robot mask, and

other retro costumes.

Fall for Dance – Costumes

The costumes in these performances were not traditional. Never have been to a dance

performance like such, I was expecting extravagant costumes and elaborate sets. The 

costumes were very simple because they aimed to focus on the actual dancing or music, 

rather than being distracted by clothes. 

Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde

Arthur Penne’s “Bonnie and Clyde” is the film that really lets loose violence in Hollywood. It came out in 1967, and is now considered an all time classic. This story is about a bank robbing couple name Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. They terrorize the southwest with their daring and violent crime sprees. This story is actually based on a true event, of two notorious bank robbers (Bonnie and Clyde) who terrorized the southern United States and who have been know to kill at least nine police officers and committed some civilian murders.

            Bonnie is bored with her life and really wants adventure. Her wish comes true when she meets the smooth Clyde Barrow. Clyde is fed up with the ongoing Depression and was recently freed from jail. He hoped to remove his troubles in the Depression by robbing banks. Bonnie and Clyde fall in love and go on a crime spree that spans from Oklahoma to Texas. They don’t really want to do any real harm; they just want to have some fun and get away from it all. Pretty soon things get nasty and brutal, and the watchers end up dreading the possibility of the demise of the quite charming and extremely devious Bonnie and Clyde.

Here is a small clip from the movie, enjoy!
