colored girls

i know its been awhile since i've seen the colored girls performance, but i can still remember it! at first, i admit i went to it so that i could get the extra credit i know i need for blogging...but as it begin i really started to enjoy it....the passion that each girl put into their own performance piece was amazing. i felt as though each girl was telling, well re-living a past moment in their life..i never once said to myself: "oh, she "acts" really good." the piece i enjoyed the most was when the girl in red was telling a story of an "abusive" man who just couldn't get right, yet he claimed to want to be with her and their two children...later into the performance we find out he is sooo crazy that he dropped the little boy out of the window. i remember the hurt i felt as i watched it. i'm a very emotional person anyway, so seeing that made me just want to give the girl in red a hug as she was telling the story. all in all, an great night of the arts!
