an interactive play

Every time I venture down to Schwartz to see a play I am always amazed. I leave the venue feeling like I experienced something that I will never get to fully appreciate in that time and space ever again. This play left a different after taste in my mouth. I was looking forward to seeing it because it was so heavily advertised and a friend of mine had a substantial role in the play, so I was looking forward to seeing all of his hard work pay off. The woman who played the wife in the play did such a great job that afterwards when all the actors were outside I was afraid to talk to her because she did such a good job embodying her character that in real life I thought she was the same mentally ill and lost woman. When in actuality she was very sweet and easy to talk to. My favorite actor would have to be the young woman who played Hattie, Jim’s sister. Hattie was played by a freshmen that I have known since the summer. She went to a performing arts high school in New York City, but I did not know she would knock my socks off. She did such an amazing job acting that the audience could feel her carrying the heavy burden of her character. I remember telling her the next day what great of a job she did and how she definitely stole the show. So I asked her how long they had been rehearsing for the play. I assumed that they started preparing for the shows since last semester, but she told me that they only started rehearsing in March. I was shocked that in such a short amount of time they could pull off  such a well done show!

  1. The only time that I’ve ever seen a play at Schwartz is during orientation week Freshman year when we all had the mandatory performance about diversity. I definitely want to see more plays at the Shwartz center because it sounds great! I think that it’s sometimes easy to forget that we have this amazing arts center in Collegetown because we just pass by it so frequently without ever going inside.

  2. This sounds awesome! I really want to start going to fun artistic events like this, it’s just so hard to do when I’m already busy with work and studying. 🙁
