The Imaginary Invalid

I would first like to say that I paid 7 dollars and sat through the whole entire play of The Imaginary Invalid in Bush Chapel on Friday night.

With that out of the way, I just wanted to say that this play blew my mind. It was insane and incredible; a perfect duo like yin and yang. I was thinking that who ever wrote this must have been under the influence of drugs at some point.

The actors were casted well. The directing was extremely wonderful. The set really made my mouth drop to the floor when it opened up. I also enjoyed the dancers in the beginning.

Each and every part of this play was purposely directed/written/acted/staged and I was on the edge of my seat just trying to keep up with the witty one lines and fast past monologues.

However, my favorite part of the play was the rock opera in the middle. I cried because I was laughing so hard. They did such a wonderful job singing and dancing and I've never seen anything like it.

I went with three people: myself and two guy friends. One guy loved it and the other said it was okay. I think the difference in the reaction depended on the appreciation.

The loved one felt the same way I felt and valued the play for everything it was.

The liked one felt like the play was okay but not worth the seven dollars. It kept him from appreciating the play.

I guess we all have something that keeps us from truly appreciating the lives we were given. Whether it is money or time, we often get distracted from enjoying things to the fullest. I think these issues also keep us from enjoying literature.

So it is my goal to read as much as I can and ENJOY it. I always read because I have to. And sometimes, I read the Bible because I feel like I have to, not because I want to. And when you are forced to do things, you often do not appreciate them as much.

In order to live life to the fullest, I believe it's nessecary to appreciate and value each thing that is put in front of us to the fullest!
