Bearcat Post: Antigone staged-reading.

                     The Baruch Art Performing center had a staged reading of the Play Antigone. A staged reading in general is a non-rehearsed theatrical performance where the actors use their script for reference by reading right out of it and performing. My theatre teacher Prof. Debra Caplan gave us, her students this optional opportunity to watch Antigone in a staged reading.  The experience in general was extremely unique, like as though we were watching a rehearsal. The characters wore clothes they would wear on a regular basis, but still portrayed the characters as they were expected. Although the play lacked the props and the costumes, it still had the feel of a regular play. Overall  I would recommend everyone to go to the Baruch Performing Arts Center and watch not only this play, but any in general. The theatre experience in general at Baruch is well done and rehearsed. There somehow seems to be a connection the audience has with these characters, because of how relatable it becomes when watching a regular person in regular clothes act out a story. The audience will end having the exact same emotions the main characters feel. The characters all seemed very experienced with drama and their also were a variety of age groups of characters. Therefore, i would undoubtedly recommend everyone i know to watch any theatrical performance that Baruch stages.
