Baruch Voices

Out of all the workshops we’ve attended, I really enjoyed Baruch Voices this time. My first experience with Baruch Voices was not as great because the workshop lasted over an hour and there were more than 15 pieces read. However, my second Baruch Voices allowed me to pay more attention to the submissions. I think this workshop was my favorite just because I was waiting for the monologue readers to read one of our blocmates. It was great to know that one of your friends monologue will be read out loud, and not only my blocmates, but I heard some of my friends monologues who were not in my bloc. Just like others, I think my favorite one was the bacon one. I knew from the beginning it was bacon. I just loved how he/she had the guts to write a monologue like that. A monologue like that definitely shows his creative and bacon loving side. Not only was his/hers well written, but I had the chance to relate to the others as well. Some wrote about their experience at Baruch and for the most part, I agreed with some of their experiences. Knowing that we all go to the same school, makes it easier for us to understand each other and what we’re going through. Overall, I thought it was great that some of the students took their monologues to a whole new level, sharing even the most personal aspects of their lives.
