Event #1

In the beginning of the year I went to a play called Appropriate and it was a very interesting play. The setting was an old farm house in a rural area in Kansas. The play started as a man and his girlfriend sneaking into their parents old house. His siblings are also in the house and he ends up finding them there. When one of the kids finds a picture of dead black people in an old photo album the family starts to be really suspicious of the picture. Then later in the play one of the characters finds human remains in a hidden place and the family freaks out. They soon find out that the house used to be a slave plantation and the theme of racism is presented. It was interesting to see the theme of racism be applied to a family that has learned about slavery and to understand that in their past they have had ancestors that were slaveholders.
