The event was the kick-off for the University of Idaho's Sexual Assault Awareness Week sponsored by the Women's Center and the ASUI Safety Task Force. The march, which began at Guy Wicks Field, took marchers on a winding tour of campus, lead by Safety Task Force Chair Angela Rauch and Vice-Chair Rhonda Anderson.

Similarly, each minute a bell was rung, signifying the rape of one woman.

The mes- t. sage alw'ays: "Fight back, it's not your fault, get help, you'e not alone" was heard as encourage- ment from the victims and their families.

  • Social Media, Fan Culture, and Postmodern Presence in Musical by Maya Abbott-Smith — 5
    Social Media, Fan Culture, and Postmodern Presence in Musical by Maya Abbott-Smith — 5 Everyone’s A Critic: Social Media, Participatory Fan Culture, and Postmodern Presence in Broadway Musicals Maya Abbott-Smith Strategic Communications Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract Amy Jensen’s theory of participatory fan culture, and Chantal Pontbriand’s concept of postmodern presence, each help explain how Broadway musicals are able to encourage online buzz. Fans using social media interact with shows, and they are sometimes being noticed by those in charge of the production. This study explores how fans and audience members interact with three Broadway musicals through social media, and how that contrasts with how theatre critics in traditional media perceive these productions. By doing so, these fans are able to create narratives that can drown out the views of critics. I. Introduction The Broadway musical is an American icon that has been an entertainment source since the late 1800s. From long-running hits like Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera, to new productions like Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton, Broadway musicals are big, bold and entertaining while reflecting relevant topics in today’s society. Musicals are an extremely costly venture in time and money, as noted in The New York Times: Bigger-scale musicals tend to cost $10 million to $15 million these days. (The hit musical “The Book of Mormon” cost about $9 million.) The most lavishly produced musicals are even higher: DreamWorks has confirmed that “Shrek the Musical” cost $25 million to mount on Broadway, while the producers of “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” have confirmed that the show cost $75 million to stage (Healy, 2011).
