Great experience

The atmosphere as you walk in sets the tone of an unforgettable performance. The soundtrack was immaculate. If there was a way for me to listen to it again on my own time, I would take that chance immediately. At the performance I went to, the audio balance between the microphones and the instruments was off. At some points, it would be difficult to hear what lyrics were being sung. It doesn’t seem difficult to correct this common mistake, so I didn’t mind. It is the kind of performance that will really make you think. Performances like this are definitely the kind to make an impact on the audience. Everything seemed to have a purpose and a deeper meaning behind it. All of it was related to the theme of the performance: the struggles that workers face when trying to unionize. This play hit home for me. My mom and many of the teachers I had in K-12 went on strike about a year and a half ago. I had a first hand experience of the hardships that these workers go through.
