I saw REAL, RAW, Arousing, Righteous, Inspiring Theater performance at GSU Saturday Night.
The "Braid tales" performance was an inclusive interpretation of the
Chicago Streets with Hip Hop, Break dancing, Dance Troops that kept you
on the edge of your seat. Every word spoken, every movement made, every
portion of lighting, music, stage presence made me proud to know I go to
GSU.
I also am proud to know that in Chicago land regardless
of how the streets can be very dangerous and unwelcoming to many, it
also holds the keys to the cities finest actors and actresses to bring a
shining light of HOPE for a positive future for the people who live
here.
We are very fortunate to have such talented people who see the
beauty in the bad. The truth in the spoken and unspoken word.
Regardless of the mother who removed her children from the beginning of
the performance because of the vulgar language used in a scene of the
performance. There was a valuable lesson learned.
No matter what
negativity the streets may bring, (sex, violence, drugs, and demeaning
life of an individual), every person has a chance to make a better life
for themselves. Become someone. Be a self-respected individual filled
with HOPE, pride, self-control, and a positive example to others around
them.
I would definitely recommend others to see this play, one
of which I spoke to was my Youth group at church. P>S> I also had a
brief moment with Lady Sol afterwards and thanked her for the hard
work she and all the cast put into the production. While getting her
autograph.
