Reflecting

     This past weekend was the play called, "Th Man Who Came To Dinner."  I got the chance to go on Thursday because I was unable to go during the weekend.  I do not know where to even start with what I thought about the play.  I went with my boyfriend Christopher, my friends Jessica and Jenna and my classmmate Sterling. The name of the play had me thinking that we was going to be a really good play but my first reaction was not so.  It annoyed me and bothered me a little bit.  The character of Sherry was annoying and intense.  I would say during the whole play we kept looking at one another asking what was going on.  What was this play about exactly?  Of course we kept watching it and it seemed like it got a little better as time went on.  There were several other characters that I truly loved.  I would say my favorite was definitely hands down the sister who would occasionally come down the stairs to talk to Sherry and show him pictures or tell him short stories.  I know the girl who played her and she did a fa-nominal job.  She had the whole crowd laughing every time she would come down those stairs and would go up one step at time.  Furthermore, I loved Sherry's assistant Maggie.  She worked with him for so long and he saw her as being so insufficient.  She fell in love with a news reporter and was finally happy and Sherry was doing everything he could to have her stay and break her and her love up.  In the end I do not know exactly how I felt or even still feel to this day about the play. I thought during it was weird and no true story line.  After felt as if the title has nothing to do with the play.  It was random and funny all at the same time.  I liked it and enjoyed it the best I could with what I saw.

  1. I agree at first the play was very boring and I was worried that it wouldn’t pick up and the entire play would just be one long bore, but in my opinion the play really picked up in acts two and three and the characters just got better and better as it went on. But I may have a bias due to the fact that several good friends were involved in the play.
