THE ULTIMATE FINAL BLOG

Like I had mentioned in a few previous blog posts, I was never the biggest fan if theatre mixing with true controversial issues. I used to believe that the two shouldn't mix. I guess from growing up as a pretty big musical theatre nerd, my preferences of shows was pretty one sided. I have to say, since my start here at LSU and especially since this class, I have become more and more open to the sort of controversial theatre that is becoming more and more popular. after reading 'Aftermath', I was so intrigued and drawn in. I constantly found myself thinking about it within weeks after I read it, I was moved by the depth and real-ness that it gave. I now am practically obsessed with this type of theatre. As long as it can remain historically accurate and period, this is exactly how we should discuss and educate others on the circling controversies we all deal with daily. I have to say that this class was easily one of the most eye opening classes I have had the priveledge to take at LSU. I have had the chance to critique different forms of 'performance' and figure out what 'performance' actually means to me. Keeping up with this blog and being able to communicate through this medium with my class members and teachers has been so rewarding. It's always nice to have educated discussions and debates on what we are passionate about. A big thanks to my incredible classmates. Dr. Fletcher- I thank you for being the wonderful teacher that you are. I thoroughly enjoyed this class. :)
