Richard & Jane & Dick & Sally
“I thought that the play was just perfect. The acting was really great, the soundtrack sounded amazing and it fit the play really well, the set was nice to look at, and the message was really meaningful, deep, and real.” This was the reaction of senior Olivia Yates to the play that the students attended at Baltimore Center Stage today.
The play touched on many themes common to all families of communication, hurt, misunderstanding and grief. The story was up close and personal as were the students watching from the front row of the Head Theatre at Center Stage. After the performance there was a Q & A with all of the actors that continued into a very personal conversation with one of the actors, Michelle Beck, who was especially generous with her time.
We are deeply grateful to Center Stage Executive Director Michael Ross, Director of Learning and Social Accountability (LSA) Adena Varner, and LSA Coordinator Dani Turner for providing us the opportunity to have this experience.
