The information about the origins of theatre that we have nowadays originates from divider sketches, enrichments, antiquities, and hieroglyphics that demonstrate the significance of effective chases, regular changes, life cycles, and stories of the divine beings. Theater most likely emerged as an execution of custom exercises that did not require initiation on the part of the onlooker.

Although I agree that an orchestra’s main objective is to increase attendance I disagree with the assertion that reducing ticket price will increase the amount that is donated or the attendance rates. Ultimately, the orchestra should focus on producing quality programs and increasing the number of quality programs. I believe this because consumers are willing to pay as much or as little for what they perceive to be valuable. Reducing ticket prices may increase audience attendance slightly but it will not be as significant as increasing the quality of the program. With orchestra, the business thrives on producing ...

First published in 1922, Virginia Woolf’s Jacob’s Room was her first novel to use modernist and impressionistic techniques.

Jacob’s Room is commonly seen as an indictment of the sterility and emptiness of modern civilization at the start of the twentieth century and it is true that at its heart is an existential angst that is presented vividly by Woolf. However, this paper will argue that Woolf uses ...
