1,295 wordsIn March of 1994, Pink Floyd released another album after a seven-year break from the music business.

Thinking About The Overall Production Play
425 wordsDrama Play Review on The musical Play that I did my review on was West Side Story by Jerome Robbins. I saw this play at the Woodland High School with my family.

It was cool because it showed me what simple lives they had but ending up in a tragic ending. I also liked how they seemed to have an accurate perception of wha...

Th...
