On September 11, 2017 I attended the “Great Works, The Odyssey I” which Odyssey was rewritten using American and Southern Americana aspects and terminology. For example, a scene took place on a Caribbean island rather than the original location in Greece. The first Half of the entire play was shown and the producer cut out aspects of the play that he though “dragged on” in order to allow for a more flowing performance and help with the time aspect. The event featured great actors who really embraced themselves into their characters and was written in a way where it was sophisticated, yet was much easier to understand then the original text. The actors where very diverse in age, experience, and race, an aspect I found very subtle but added greatly to the experience. The event in general opened up a whole new side to college life reviling a part of Baruch I didn’t know existed before. I remember the “I never even know we had this here” feeling when I took the elevator to the basement and saw a mini theater. It allows for a Broadway style performance to be watched and was completely free of charge. I hopefully plan to visit many more of these events that take place in “The Performing Arts Center.” The actors took time at the end of the performance to answer any questions regarding the remix of The Odyssey and about acting in general. The whole event only took about an hour and a half, time for even the busiest students to take a brake and enjoy a classic. If you can’t find the center, you can simply as the Student Life Center on the second floor and they will promptly guide you to the location. It’s a great way to embrace your student life and take advantage of all the free things Baruch has to offer. Once you attend one of these events you have the sudden urge to attend more and expand your view of Baruch.
