This week I went to see the on-campus production of Buried Child. I went out to support our college theater and to see how the hard work of the students and staff has paid off. I also got to see some cool alumni that I normally would not get to see who came out to support the theater as well.
This play was slightly challenging for the audience because it made us question well, what is the meaning of this show? Why did the events happen this way? I know was a challenge for the actors involved but they pulled it off well.
The play covered such topics as interracial dating in the seventies era, family secrets, child abuse, and sexual abuse. It also covered on some levels infidelity, religion, and family disputes.
The actors, all McDaniel students, did an amazing job creating a three-generation family. The actors must have put great effort into their objectives, and the lighting, sound, costumes, and stage design was all wonderfully laid out and executed.
They even brought the audience into the world of the play by playing music that was relevant to the theme of the show.
