Today we went to see the Baruch Voices performance. It was… interesting and… sad. T__T The monologues ranged from funny and just scratching the surface of who the individuals were to something deep and personal. There were many monologues about cancer… this made me more aware of how much the disease affected people everyday. The one that stood out among the other cancer-related monologues was the one about leukemia and how Amanda gave up her chance to survive so her friend, the writer, can continue living.
At this event, I found out how much some fellow members of the Class of ’15 have been through. This remind me of how I complain about my life, but it’s nothing compared to how much others have been through. I also thought it was amazing how someone can craft a whole monologue on the topic of chicken nuggets! One thing I did not like all that much was one of the performers’ acting. I mean they were all skilled at conveying the emotions through their voices and everything, but I thought one of the female actors overacted/was too dramatic. Overall, I thought the performance was pretty good, although I didn’t like how it left us on a somewhat depressing note .__.
