Kacey Musson Character Analysis
I saw Spill on Saturday, January 30, the second night. I enjoyed the production and especially admired the work of Kacey Musson. Musson had the role of Shelley Anderson, wife of one of the rig workers, Jason Anderson. Kacey Musson put much detail in her strong performance while playing the role of Mrs. Anderson, as she used fantastic vocal work as along with her terrific movements.
Throughout the play I noticed that Musson was my favorite actor every time she was on stage, no matter the character she was. I especially enjoyed her performances as Shelley Anderson. I was extremely impressed with Musson’s interpretation of her character especially with her vocal work. Musson hit the typical accent that people would expect from her character in real life just right. Musson adjust the speed of her words as needed depending on what she was saying, and used just the right tone each time she spoke whether she was answering simple questions for the reporter, or telling a story. When I watched her, I felt as though Shelley Anderson was right there speaking. I felt that Kacey Musson interpreted the

The way Musson performed that scene, really showed how much Shelley Anderson loved and missed her husband, and the very last time she saw her husband. There was happiness in being with her loved one, but a moment of this could be the last time, and the end result feeling of looking back on that being in fact the last time she saw

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…

    Lena Lingard intrigues me. She’s gentle even though she’s lived on the farm her entire life and she manages to make the littlest things exciting with her charisma. In ways, her adventurousness and excitement make her similar to Tony. However, they differ in that Ántonia possesses a quiet beauty and inner strength that contrasts with Lena’s liveliness. It’s strange-- I dream the same dream “a great many times, and it [is] always the same. I [am] in a harvest-field full of shocks, and I [am] lying against one of them. Lena Lingard [comes] across the stubble barefoot, in a short skirt, with a curved reaping-hook in her hand, and she [is] flushed like the dawn, with a kind of luminous rosiness all about her. She [sits] down beside me, [turns] to me with a soft sigh and said, ‘Now they are all gone, and I can kiss you as much as I like.’ I...wish I could have this flattering dream about Ántonia, but I never [do].” (109) I love Ántonia and her steady independence but I cannot see her in my dreams in…

    To say that there is no good in evil is to deny the very reality of evil’s existence. Black and white thinking such as the topic previously stated is what truly can hurt us the most. When you look at moral issues you must acknowledge that it is a grey spectrum, with many different viewpoints. If I told any person who has actually read East of Eden that I admired Cathy? They would think me insane and possibly give me some nasty looks, as well as cross the street when I walk past. But since you have to read this essay, I think it’s fair that I make my point. Cathy is a real go-getter, she does what she has to to make ends meet. She isn’t easily swayed, and has a strong moral foundation, whether or not it’s a good one is a moot point. Lastly, she’s not easily discouraged. Even in the face of direct adversity, she brushes herself off and keeps on trucking.…

Throughout the story both Sylvia’s and Miss Moore’s conflicting ideals passively clash on several occasions revealing their individual complexities. Miss Moore is the most complex of the two.…

    Texas Tech University’s production of Danai Gurira’s Eclipsed was both visually and emotionally captivating. From the moment the lights came on, I was enraptured by the spectacle of the scenery, lighting, and sound. This script truly is a remarkable story that needs to be heard by every person in America. I felt very guilty when the character of Helena was thrilled to be able to write her own name, yet I am complaining about all the assignments I have in Graduate school. Acting wise, there were numerous strong objectives and actions being sent by the five women in the cast. They had very clear relationships with one another, using their connections to motivate their choices and decisions.…
