When i went to see Miss Julie this afternoon, I was surprised at what a fun experience it would be. When i walked in someone who seemed to know me shook my hand. I had to lean down under his biker hat to see that it was Wood from my multimedia story telling class. He asked me if I wanted to sit in the special seats. Not really knowing what I was signing up for he pointed me toward a row of seats behind the stage itself. I sat awkwardly for a bit. At first I was the only one sitting there before the show began so I felt a bit unconfortable sitting alone infront of all those people. One of the actresses from the play came and sat next to me and offered me a flower made of tissue and pipe cleaner. I accepted the flower and she asked me my name. I asked her her name and she told asked me what i would like her name to be. I laughed seeing that she was in character as a prostitute. I looked down at a brown papper bag with the word "trash" stamped on it and came up with the name Trisha. She asked me if I had an old girlfriend named Trisha and I played along and said yes.
As the show began me and the others in the "special seats" where treated to some cotton candy. There was something a bit off about it. I was somewhat confused and a girl sitting next to me pointed at the Menu. I began to cough as I read that the cotton candy was harbenero flavovored. It was an odd combination but for some reason i couldn't stop eating. Sitting in the back was a bit frusturating at times since i could see or hear the actors very well at times. We where encouraged to take videos so i did. I started laughing when i saw an older woman fast asleep in the front row as the two women where rubbing and kissing eachother. I heared another older woman say rather loudly " this is redicilous." and "I'd like to leave." as well as complain about her knee. It was an interesting expereince watching the audience watch this wild play.
It sounds like you had fun. What did you think about the actors' performances?
