“Impression” Jamil Zakaria
November 12, 2014 by j.zakaria
My first three months here in Baruch has been a fun experience. I was quickly able to make friends and was able to enjoy the school campus. However, the thing that thought was the most fun and interesting was my Introduction to Theater class. When I was in freshmen year of high school, I had to read a play for English class. It was my first time and I hated it. The format of the words were completely different from a normal book and the change in scenes where sometimes confusing. The whole experience gave me a head ache trying ti figure out whats going on.
However my Introduction to Theater class changed my whole outlook on plays. I can now understand what is going on in a play and it no longer confuses me. The class taught me how plays work, and different ways to analysis them. Also the that there are many kinds of plays each with its own history. I have come to enjoy plays, I now found them interesting and fun. I would not have understood how great plays can be if not for my class here in Baruch.

It is meaningful to read your stuff. Actually, I have same feeling as you have in theater class. Taking theater class, my opinion of play is changed, and now I am more interesting on production of plays.
I also kinda like the theatre class when it brings in fun guests like the Mime we met in class last time. Even though the class materials get boring sometimes when we talk about timelines of theatre history, I still think this class stands out because, honestly, it has the comfiest seats comparing to our other classes, and I’m sitting all the way in the back…zzz : p
It is a very fun class. We learned a lot in this class.
