Upset!

This weeks reading was a lot easier to get through, I thoroughly enjoyed that! But I found this article to be quite interesting. The play itself had a lot going on and I thought that the joker system was interesting to look at from an audience perspective because it's puts you in a situation where you discover who is willing to sit and watch, and who is willing to speak up for a cause. It kind of relates to my rehearsals where Deena, my director, told us this story about how this mans house in a small, Midwestern town, where the nearest fire department was the next town over, caught fire. So he calls the fire department and they rush over and as they're getting ready to put out the fire, they get a call to tell them to hold everything. Come to find out the man didn't pay his taxes or something, a bill that was $75, and the fire department was not allowed to extinguish his house. So he lost everything because of $75. But how it relates is what I was saying about the audience, it makes you question, where are the ones that are suppose to protect and serve us when law gets involved? Who are the ones willing to fight for their morality?
