"Escape into Reality" is a Painting/Sculpture from Czech artist, Michael Trpák. It is made of cement, wood, and acrylic paint. In the description of his work, Michael tackles 2 of the biggest questions in the art world: What is Art & Why does Art Matter? I'll let you read it for yourself: "Escape into reality is a combination of a painting, a relief and a sculpture, it outlines a transition between real and virtual world, between 2d and 3d form, between sensed and tangible ... Art tries to be new and discovering, so is an artist a scientist or an inventor? Modern art is a conceptual one and it can seldom defend itself, so does it make an artist a rhetorician or a philosopher? If art needs a form to convey an idea, should an artist be a skillful craftsman? If art is supposed to be digital, is an artist due to be an expert on information technologies? Is an artist a diplomat or a strategist who can present nothing like something and make the viewers [...]

Swordplay, magic, intrigue and friendships stronger than iron: the first volume in the new swashbuckling fantasy series set in the universe of THE GREATCOATS. Damelas Chademantaigne picked a poor night to flee a judicial duel. He has precious little hope of escaping the wrath of the Vixen, the most feared duellist in the entire city, until he stumbles through the stage doors of the magnificent Operato Belleza and tricks his way into the company of actors. An archaic law provides a temporary respite from his troubles - until one night a ghostly voice in his head causes Damelas to fumble his lines, inadvertently blurting out a dreadful truth: the city's most legendary hero may actually be a traitor and a brutal murderer. With only the help of his boisterous and lusty friend Bereto, a beautiful assassin whose target may well be Damelas himself, and a company of misfit actors who'd just as soon see him dead, this failed grandson of two Greatcoats must somehow find within himself the courage to dig up long-buried truths before a ruthless band of bravos known as the Iron Orchids come for his head. Oh, and there's still that matter of the Vixen waiting to duel him . . .

However, many teachers are using them successfully as they teach remotely. I have included a few teacher tips regarding using the resource remotely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UNIQUE & ORIGINAL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have taken great care in making diverse puzzles that would be fresh and challenging for the same class to enjoy throughout the course. If you are purchasing multiple breakouts for the same course, each escape will contain unique puzzles and problems. CHECK OUT ALL OF MY SCIENCE BREAKOUTS: Lab Skills & Lab Safety: STOP. COLLABORATE & LISTEN BREAKOUT Skeletal System: GAME OF BONES BREAKOUT Blood, Heart, Cardiovascular System: CLOTBUSTERS BREAKOUT The Special Senses: A SENSESATIONAL ESCAPE BREAKOUT Acids/Bases/pH: ALL ABOUT THAT BASE BREAKOUT The Mole-Chemistry: WHOLLY MOLE BREAKOUT Cell-Biology: It's A CELLEBRATION BREAKOUT DNA: Team DNA & the Evil Dr. Plasmid BREAKOUT Ecology: Biology & Environmental Science: ECOPARK BREAKOUT Atoms-Physical Science/Chemistry: ATOMIC CARNIVAL BREAKOUT Genetics: The Genetics Academy BREAKOUT CHECK OUT MY MATH BREAKOUTS: Exponent Rules/Roots/Scientific Notation: EXPONENTIAL CIRCUS BREAKOUT FRACTIONS CARNIVAL BREAKOUT FUN HOLIDAY ESCAPE ROOMS: An EGGciting Escape Deck the Halls BREAKOUT A Spooktacular Escape March Madness Escape ============================== Teamwork Toolbox Escape Room F.A.Q’s ============================== 1. How do the students Escape? There is a google Form on the home page with 6 Digital Locks. As students find solutions to the 6 puzzles, they type them into the form line under each Lock (where it says "Your Answer.") A “STILL LOCKED” message appears under each lock until the message is typed correctly. Once all 6 Locks are Solved, the students are able to click the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the Google Form to reveal a message that they have escaped. My students entered the right answer, but the form is still RED and says “STILL LOCKED!” Answers must be entered carefully and follow the small printed instructions under each lock. For example, all word/letter answers must be in ALL CAPS. 2. My students have never done an escape activity. What do you recommend? ➊Visit my Practice Escape Room: You can use a projector and demonstrate this very easy, 3 Lock Practice Escape Room or have your students spend 10-15 minutes practicing on their own. The practice site could be used the day before or immediately ahead of the actual Escape Room. ➋Use the Cheat Sheet: This printable is optional as it does lower the difficulty and remove some of the “Escape Room” thinking needed to complete the activity. The document matches each of the 6 locks to specific website images and printed materials. You can provide it at the beginning of the escape or give to groups that are 2 or 3 locks behind as you are running out of time. 3. How do students find the solutions to the Unlocks? Use the lock descriptions (Example: 10 Letter Word Lock) to determine what you are searching for. For example, if you find a clue that mentions a birthdate to research, that may be the solution to a DATE lock. Or if you find something with 8 colors to sort, that might be the answer to the 8 Color lock. As students navigate the site, they will adapt quickly to solving the puzzles. Their printed Unlocks Sheet(which also has the 6 lock descriptions) helps guide them. 4. Any tips I can give students as they search? Put a Copy of the Student Escape Tips at each station. For clue hunting...They can keep one laptop/internet device open to the Home Page at all times. All links should open in a new Tab and they should keep the tabs open while hunting for clues and solutions. Note the physical items you printed for them might require something on the Escape Website to solve that puzzle lock. As they try different solutions and find correct answers, they will type into the “Your Answer” area until STILL LOCKED disappears. They also should write the unlock solution into the Unlocks Sheet that you printed so you can judge their progress. "Distractors" will be found! (There are several "fake clues" students will find throughout the site that make it more challenging.) 5. What should I do as my students are searching for answers? You should circulate among the groups checking their progress on the Locks Blank sheet. Carry your Solutions Sheet with you (keep it covered). Periodically ask out loud for groups to announce their progress: “We have 4 locks already!” Check their progress. If a group is very far behind, make small suggestions as you determine what they are missing. If time is a problem, you can make the entire activity move faster by making small suggestions. Note: I do not let Groups share lock answers. 6. How should I use the HINT Card? I give each group one hint card and encourage them to escape without using it. Most groups try not to use their hint card as a matter of pride. I tell students that playing the Hint Card will guarantee they will get a lock of their choosing opened. I don’t just give them the solution, but do give a very revealing clue so they can quickly get it. Groups will brag to others when they have escaped and NOT used it. 7. What do I do when they Escape? I take a photo of them (sometimes they want pics, too) holding the “We Escaped!” Sign. Print a couple for the group to hold proudly. Students can complete and submit the 5 Question Reflection (on Bottom of Student Escape Tips sheet). Have an assignment for early finishers and encourage other groups to keep working. I also post the fastest times for each Escape (we do several in each course) for other groups and classes to see; I put an asterisk by the time if a Hint card was used. 8. How do you grade these? Students will turn in their group's Locks Blank with as many solutions as they discovered when I call "Time." I only give a participation Lab grade by judging the level of effort each student put forth. They all will be participating! Students can also complete and turn in a Reflection (There are 5 reflection questions on the Student Tips Sheet.) 9. How long should this take? There are a few factors that will determine the amount of time needed. Easy Escapes can go as fast as 30 minutes and Hard Escapes should take an hour. If you are working with first timers who did not view or use the Practice Escape, expect 5- 10 minutes for them to master navigating the site and locks. Once you’ve used this Escape Room with your own students, you’ll have a solid idea of the time needed for future classes. Please send any questions you might have regarding solving digital breakouts or the contents of this package!

Actors have been donning women's clothes since the time of Shakespeare (at least!), though in those instances it was in order to portray female characters. Since it became acceptable for females to act upon the stage, that practice was no longer necessary, yet now and again there has been either a reason or a desire to get the guys in drag again. Today, we'll look at a selection of famous men who dolled up as a female be it for a role (as in most cases) or for fun. This isn't meant to be a history lesson, just a sashay through pictures I've collected, so apologies to anyone who is left out! One of the most successful stage plays having to do with drag was the enduring Charley's Aunt, which, in 1892, broke all records in London and lasted (across two venues) until 1896. The play was then mounted on Broadway where it ran another four years, a stunning success. There was a 1915 silent film version and then a 1925 remake (remakes are nothing new in the film business!) The latter starred Sydney Chaplin (Charlie's brother) and he is shown here as the hapless manservent coerced into portraying the title figure. Years later, this story was musicalized (and tweaked) into the 1948 Broadway hit Where's Charley?, starring Ray Bolger (a talented song and dance man and the Scarecrow of 1939's The Wizard of Oz.) In 1952, a color film version was made starring Bolger as well. Bolger returned to the property more than once, creating a longstanding association between himself and the material (not to mention the famous song from the score, “Once in Love with Amy.”) Other old-time comedians who found themselves on the other side of a curly wig and skirts included Gus Schilling and Joe E. Brown, who are shown here in 1943's Chatterbox with Judy Canova. The men were taking turns playing Brown's mother for Canova's benefit until they both made the transformation at the same time! Incidentally, Canova's daughter Diana, became a popular 1970s actress in her own right, with Soap amongst her credits. In 1944, the famed comedy duo Abbott and Costello put forth the movie Lost in a Harem and the screwball plot had Lou Costello flouncing around in drag impersonating a sultan's wife (with Bud Abbott impersonating the sultan until he's found out by the real McCoy, played by Douglas Dumbrille.) I do like all the bric-a-brac on the men's turbans below and think Joan Crawford would probably have turned said items in a necklace (both of them into one, in fact!) had she come upon them in the mid-'60s! This was far from the only time that Costello got into a skirt. He did so in several movies or at other events. Here, the duo is shown again, this time in a western setting, with Lou in petticoats. It's a longstanding tradition for comics to slither into a dress for humorous effect. Let's take a peek at some of the more well-known examples. We'll start with Uncle Miltie, Milton Berle, who incorporated drag into his act throughout his long career. This shot is late in the game (circa 1987) with Miss Phyllis Diller (God rest her.) He's shown here with Mr. Bob Hope during a TV special. Those of my generation will recall Berle appearing as himself and as himself in drag for the music video of Ratt's “Round and Round!” What a surprise match-up that was. Hope was known to suit up on occasion as well. Here, he's shown in a 1981 special, along with Olympian Bruce Jenner and football-player-turned-actor Merlin Olson, in a comic spoof on The Mandrell Sisters (calling themselves The Mandrake Sisters.) Jonathan Winters trucked out his concoction, Granny, on many an occasion. (Incidentally, Granny seems to be the inspiration for Alan Hale's characterization in this fantasy sequence from Gilligan's Island.) Flip Wilson, a highly-popular comedian and variety show host of the '70s, brought the world the vivacious, confident and sharp-tongued Geraldine (shown here giving Joe Namath a steam bath.) Geraldine was quite a hit and even had her own recordings! Of course, no fan of M*A*S*H could forget the ever-present Jamie Farr, continually dressed in drag as a way of (unsuccessfully) trying to get out of the service. During his Saturday Night Live days in the mid-to-late '80s, Dana Carvey scored a huge hit with his creation, The Church Lady, a snarky, pious chat show host who would often utter (with a thick layer of sarcasm), "Well, isn't that special...?" Now to examine some more obscure instances, comedian Joey Bishop looks none to pleased to be sporting this wig, female suit and makeup. Two Dons donned frocks on TV in 1964. Don Wilson dolled up for an episode of The Jack Benny Show while Don Knotts (as Deputy Barney Fife) was undercover as a cleaning woman in order to snag a bad guy in The Andy Griffith Show. Knotts got girly again for a 1970 Jim Nabors special, shown with longtime pal Griffith. For the 1967 James Coburn film The President's Analyst, Godfrey Cambridge appeared in drag, looking something like Fred Sanford's (of Sanford and Son) Aunt Esther's little sister! Impressionist Rich Little donned a blonde wig in order to do a number opposite Debbie Reynolds (from, I believe, a 1972 episode of The ABC Comedy Hour?) Sonny Bono, during The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour days, also got into the act, not an easy feat when you're sporting a thick mustache! TV sitcoms, as already touched on above with Gilligan's Island and M*A*S*H, frequently turned to actors in drag for a laugh. One episode of the 1960s series That Girl, which starred Marlo Thomas, had her boyfriend Ted Bessell trussed up and turned out as a blonde. Note the hairy legs under the hose in this shot! The 1968 show The Ugliest Girl in Town had star Peter Kastner in drag much of the time as he was disguised as a female model (!) in order to be close to the English starlet he's in love with. To me, the poor guy looks like Johnny Carson in a wig more than anything! The 1970s anthology sitcom Love, American Style occasionally put a guest actor through his drag paces. Here, cigar-chomping Warren Berlinger has a scene with Joan Van Ark. Next is Michael Callan cozying up to Beth Brickell while undercover at a women's lib meeting. Fans of Happy Days probably recall the early episode that had Ron Howard forced to dress up as a girl as part of a hazing ritual and winding up dancing with the always-womanizing Fonzie (Henry Winkler.) The 1980s sitcom Bosom Buddies is another show that centered on its male stars having to keep up appearances as women. This was at the dawn of Tom Hanks' career as he costarred for two seasons with Peter Scolari. Looking uncannily similar to the gents above are Bob Saget and Dave Coulier in an episode of Full House. It's not always been the comedies that feature a man in drag. For a 1976 episode of Police Woman, John David Carson played a cross-dresser. His character's name was Tommy Shaw, but the alter-ego's name was Charlese Parker. Famed female celebrity impersonator Charles Pierce made a bizarre appearance in a 1978 episode of The New Adventures of Wonder Woman. (His voice was dubbed by a female in the episode.) He played a high-priced espionage agent sent to steal information from Lyle Waggoner and felt the need to do so while disguised as a woman. If you were Waggoner, would you not raise an eyebrow or two at an Army officer who looked like this?! One T.J. Hooker episode concerned a deranged nurse who is killing other nurses (after first sending them flowers.) The nurse turns out to be a male doctor in drag who suffers from issues stemming from his mother's mental abuse. In a truly sad and somewhat ironic turn of events, barely a year after this 1984 episode, the actor David Huffman, who'd led a very busy, promising career as an actor to that point, was himself killed by stabbing. He chased a teen thief (and illegal immigrant) into a canyon who then turned on him with a screwdriver, stabbing him to death. Huffman was thirty-nine. A 1985 installment of The Fall Guy had both guest star Scott Baio and regular actor Douglas Barr transformed into females in order to protect a witness they were watching. Shown with them is series regular Heather Thomas (who had costarred with Baio two years prior in the telekinesis comedy Zapped!) Occasionally, Scott Bakula would find himself stuck in the body of a female during the course of the late-'80s/early-'90s fantasy series Quantum Leap. Each week, his character inhabited the body of someone else from the past, present or future. In this instance, a well-dressed lady. In 1998, a famous, but not as busy as now, RuPaul guest-starred on Chuck Norris' action series Walker, Texas Ranger, dwarfing both Norris and costar Clarence Gilyard. In recent years, RuPaul has emerged as one of the all-time most visible drag queens as far as the mainstream arena is concerned, thanks to RuPauls' Drag Race, Drag U and song, music videos, etc... When it comes to the movies, few cross-dressing actors are as memorable as Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in Some Like it Hot (1959.) Here, William Holden, during a visit to the set, gives Tony Curtis the once-over. These gentlemen, as I noted above, were far from the first, though. Just among the better known. A few years earlier in 1952, The Bowery Boys dressed as women for a sequence in the college-set comedy Hold That Line. The real draw in this picture, though, is the dreamy John Bromfield, one very handsome man. (You can read more about Mr. Bromfield – as well as see more of his yummy physique - here.) In 1949, Cary Grant barely seemed to alter his visage at all beyond a wig when he starred in I Was a Male War Bride. Also in 1949, Alec Guinness portrayed all members of one family in Kind Hearts and Coronets. Here, we see him as one of the ladies. A decade later, Peter Sellers played three roles, one of them a queen, in The Mouse that Roared. This tradition has been carried on in more recent years by Eddie Murphy and Tyler Perry (and thanks to advancements in prosthetics and technology, more believably, though ol' stick in the mud me appreciates when things were done the hard way.) In the 1969 drama The Damned, Helmut Berger kicked things off with a Marlene Dietrich impersonation. Later in the film, a gaggle of drunken, half-naked, cross-dressed young Nazis are slaughtered in a depiction of the infamous “Night of the Long Knives” incident. John Hansen made his cinematic debut in the 1970 film The Christine Jorgensen Story, playing the first ever transsexual. The campy, heavily-derided movie practically ended his career at the start, though he managed to eke out about a decade of spotty work. One of the big criticisms of this movie was the fact that Hansen looked prettier as George Jorgensen than he did as the female Christine! The normally urbane and elegant George Sanders played a transvestite piano player in 1972's The Kremlin Letter. In 1974, Alan Arkin and James Caan starred in the action-heavy buddy comedy Freebie and the Bean and went up against a transvestite hit man played by Christopher Morley (shown here in the midst of a dress-ripping fight scene!) Few people who ever saw Divine in a movie were likely to forget it. Here, the portly superstar poses with Tab Hunter in 1981's Polyester. Tab returned to costar with Divine again (along with Lainie Kazan, on the right) for 1985's Lust in the Dust. Divine starred in Hairspray in 1988, which was later turned into a Broadway musical that starred Harvey Fierstein (shown here during a holiday parade which featured an excerpt from the show.) Later, the musical was filmed as well with John Travolta, but the less said about that performance the better. Speaking of parades, I'm not sure where little Gary Coleman might have been when this shot was taken, but it could have been during some sort of celebration! Dabney Coleman put on a wig, hat and dress for one of his movies (I'm afraid I don't know which!) Another highly-recognizable, iconic man-in-drag personage is that of Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie (1982.) An unlikely drag personage came along in the 1989 buddy flick Tango & Cash, starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell. At one point, in a bid to sneak Russell out of a nightclub while in the company of Stallone's little sister Teri Hatcher, Russell is painted up and bewigged to resemble a lady. Gene Hackman made a rather shocking appearance as a bleach blonde at the climax of 1996's The Birdcage. Seeing this for the first time, I thought JoAnn Castle of The Lawrence Welk show was making a cameo in the movie! We close with a couple of non-film or TV instances of drag. These two lovely birds are serious British actors Laurence Olivier and Kenneth More, all done up in their finery for a 1960 charity event at The London Palladium! Our celebrity final photo is one that I found to be interesting on several levels. For one thing, for whatever reason, I don't tend to think of these three stars together all at once. For another, the two stars in drag are not ones that I would ever think of as appearing that way. This was for some sort of charity event or part, I believe. Do you recognize them? If you wish to guess, then wait a moment to scroll further. The man in the middle, of course, is swashbuckling superstar Errol Flynn. His two satin-covered cuties are none other than he-man Robert Mitchum (on the left) and gymnastically-inclined adventure star-turned-serious-actor Burt Lancaster! Fascinating picture... I apologize for the random, scattershot arrangement of some of these photos, but such is often the way when I approach these sorts of collections. Finally, just for the shits and giggles of it, I give you a hysterical shot of yours truly. You see, even I, in a weak moment, once got my girl on for Halloween. This was about 1999, I think, and I was the life of the party, my darlings! Frankly, if I could be so bold, I think I look better than a lot of the stars featured in this post and I was strictly amateur, believe me. :-)
