I went to a play called the castle. This was a play that was hosted in the Baruch theatre and they had 4 people come in for the play. The unique part of this play is that these 4 people did not actually act, they actually sat down in front of us. Now the best part of this play is that it is an actual story. These are 4 people that were in prison for multiple different reasons but were given another chance. Now they start off and share their story. Another great part of the play is that they don’t tell their story individually. They each stop in the middle of their story and then let another person speak. This was vital in making this such a good play because throughout we were trying to figure out what the next part of their story would be.

So as the play continued I was awestruck at the hard life that many of them had to face. I knew life for many people was hard, yet as I listened to them more, I was shocked by how difficult it truly was. Many of them were put in place where they were the sole providers of their family. One of the men had actually shot someone and had to kill someone just to provide for his family. This just brings up how this person was actually forced into such a position. While one woman was put into such a life not because she needed to do something bad to provide for the family but because of how she felt. The fact that Baruch hosted such a play shows that just because it is being held in Baruch, does not mean it is cheap or bad. This play talked about many issues that are occurring when it came to underfunded parts of states.
