The last show of then school year, which named comedy tonight is a group about multiple comedies. I went there Friday and I was very amazed by the lighting control and the hard work that those actor did during practice, those are very beautiful. I specially like the morning meeting one, the imitation was almost real. But what I really worried about was the content of few comedies, which point at several different nations, countries, and religions which may made the student who share the culture, come form those countries, belong to those nation, or have those religions very awkward or shamed.
In the first comedy, john jiang, who known as donald trump who shout out he will drive those Muslim and those Mexicans out of US, which indeed Donald Trump said. But the strong political tendency will hurt the students or teachers who think the other way. And speak about “drive those Muslims and Mexicans out of US” may hurt the feeling of the Muslim and Mexican students in CA. Because more or less CA is still an international school.
And the other comedy which I was worried about the content was the one that William An played as a man who lost every thing he had in one morning, which is so absurdity that even make people feel bad about what happened, and for this comedy was about laugh about someone’ s pain and the absurdity that people always not wish happened on themselves. So I wander should we have a comedy like this in the play.
And the last one was about the swan, although I got some idea that this play was wrote base on a real story happened in CA, which i hope what I assumed was wrong because I could not be the only one who knew this story or the only who figure this out. So a strong story like this will easily point to a student who was once involved in the story that happened in the real life which is really unfair and cure to that student.
Although I made a lot of negative evaluation but I still think the show was great at some point, may be the best show that ever played in the Black Box.
