Out of all the workshops we’ve been to this semester, my favorite workshop, like most people, is Baruch Voices. Although it might have been the most educational workshop, it was definitely the most interesting. The actors made it extra entertaining by exaggerating the monologues, especially the Asian actor.
It was nice listening to other people’s monologue and relating to how their freshman year went. I could relate to a lot of the problems that was addressed in the monologues. There was also a lot of monologues written by people that went to my High School which made it more significant. The monologues revealed a lot about them that I never knew.
The actors did a great job showing the monologues and bringing out the message of each of them. My favorite one was the one about quitting smoking by the Asian actor. He gave it a really funny twist and kept the audience engaged the entire time. Another monologue that left an impression was the girl that cut herself. It reminded me that a lot of people are different on the inside than what they appear to be.
