The Imaginary Invalid

"I attended Southeastern’s production of The Imaginary Invalid and watched the entire play."

I really enjoyed this comedy. The actors did an amazing job Thursday night as well as the dancers although, I found them to be a little scary…Lol

Throughout the play I though how difficult being an actor must be (at least for me). I think it would be a fun experience but also scary because you have to play your part well enough for the audience to fully understand the role you are playing. I know that they have to practice time and time again until they get it right, but I’m sure they still feel somewhat nervous before a performance.

My favorite character in the play would have to be the maid, Toinette. Her thick, Spanish, accent made me laugh so much (I’m Hispanic too, so it’s okay). The reason why I found her to be so funny is because sometimes I use the same thick accent to talk to my roommate who is definitely not Spanish. I was able to relate to Toinette’s dramatic, hostile, crazy, but most importantly loving and caring attitude she had towards Angelique. Although she might be a little crazy, her priority was to make sure Angelique was happy. Just goes to show that being a little crazy may not be such a bad thing. Actually, it may seem weird saying this but, I think it may be better to be crazy than being normal. If you’re considered “crazy” you may be more willing to try things you might not have done because of what people will think or say. But being “crazy” you may force you to get out of your comfort zone and do crazy things. People will just think you’re crazy, that’s it! Okay, okay…I realize this post is crazy in itself so I’m going to stop now. I guess my point to all of this is: the play was really, the dancers a little creepy but performed well, and don’t be afraid to be called crazy at times because being crazy may not be that bad.
