Event Response #1

Earlier this semester I attended the play held on campus, Appropriate. Appropriate was a very interesting show. The setting was a living area in a plantation house. Frank, who is the first character introduced in the play, has a dead father who was the owner of the house. Frank also has two other siblings, Bo and Tony.  Bo, is also at the house with his wife Rachel and their two kids. One of their kids discovers what Rachel says is pictures of “dead black people” and the other child discovers old body parts and bones being preserved in jars. This brings up one of the themes of the show which is racism. I think this play brought up a heavy topic in an interesting and creative way. It exposes horrible things from the past and brings them to the present. It reminds me of how our campus has a heavy connection with slavery. To buildings being named after slave owners, and our campus having the site of a salve graveyard.
