On Thursday night, I attended the Imaginary Invalid Play in the Bush Chapel. There was a pretty big crowd, including students from high schools. I thought it was cool how they came to Southeastern just to see our play. Now, I am going to be quite honest throughout this post. I do not believe that I have learned my appreciation for the arts. However, it is great to be in the company of and watch those whose passions derive from it. It was very evident that everyone involved was very committed and full of heart for the success of the play.
This was my second play that I have seen put on by Southeastern University. Although I probably am uneducated about what an excellent play’s credentials should be, I believe that The Imaginary Invalid was very well done and quite funny too! I found that this play was like literature in the sense that I think that if I had seen it once or even two more times more, things would have been more clear. I do not blame the actors or the play itself for my misunderstanding, but rather simply my own lack of being able to catch on to everything the first time. There was a lot of dialogue I just simply “missed”, but my friend helped keep me informed with my “Wait.....what?” moments!
The main reason why I was really excited about seeing the play was because my best friend Juliet Jones was a dancer. I was very proud :) I have gotten to hear about the “behind the scenes” experience over the past few weeks. Seeing how much time she has put into the play helped me appreciate the performance so much more. So much goes into performances that we fail to recognize and appreciate.
I sat back in my chair during the play and thought about how cool it is that God created us all with such different talents and ways to express out creativity.
