Although I don't enjoy writing papers in the first person, I cannot help but feel that the ommition of my personal voice from this assignment would simply not due justice to my response to such a inique theatre experience. I almost wish that there was someone taping me during the entire show just so I could have gotten to see the look in my eyes as I watched what was unfolding before me on stage. It was one of the most unique theatre experiences of my life. I didn't think I made a sound throughout the entire show. I just sat there with my mouth hanging open "completely dumfounded. I have never seen a show with such novelty that had the power to keep me so engrossed. I kept having to remind myself that I was watching a play, because I couldn't help but feel as though I were slipping into another world of reality. Let me elaborate on this reality. In this reality, everything was clear. I saw the world as I've never seen if before "through the lives of these young men and women. All the things I thought were important to me got thrown right out the window and I felt a strange feeling, "what have I been doing with my life?- As the play continued, I begin to feel one of the strongest feelings of pride in my life. These performers were not old wise men, but young adults faced with the same questions and issues that I struggle with. More so, they were not giving their interpretation of some distant playwrights ideas but were sharing their own thoughts, dreams, and visions about the world. If there is ever a moment in my life when I begin to question why I'm pursuing the acting profession "whether it's really worth doing what we do "I will immediately think of this show. I walked out of that theatre so stunned and schocked and confused and .i didn't know what to do. I didn't know what emotions to feel. I didn't even know what to say to people when they asked me if I enjoyed it.
