1. In our group, we went to see the Marshall Artist Series Disney’s Beauty and the Beast
with Nicholas, Adaira, Joshua, and Kyquan. It was a fun experience seeing this
production. It stayed as faithful as it could to the original production, but due to a smaller
budget, lacked some of the original Broadway sets and effects. We meet up before hand
and talked for a while and walked over to the Keith Albee Theater. It was pretty fun
talking to them. But that’s really all we did was talk before and after and during the 20
minute intermission. I got to know them a little better outside of class instead of just
sitting with them in class. Like I learned Josh played baseball in California which is
where he is originally from. Also, that Nic is from Nigeria. It was a valuable social
experience in that since. But we ended up doing this again with a sports game. I think it
was baseball, but I really don't know; sports are not my strong point. Socially, it was
similar to Beauty and the Beast with us just taking, but we also stopped to eat at
McDonald’s on the way back. I felt as if I got to know them even more from this.
Because the sporting event allows more time to talk to each other than what theater does.
Also, stopping to eat allowed for more interaction as well. Like this time, I learned
Kyquan aspires to be part of the NFL ultimately. So, in the end I really enjoyed the two
experiences.
