Two past productions that really stood out to me is the play
Rising Water that I saw at LSU and the broadway play starring Idina Menzel If/Then. When I saw Rising Water, it really made me reflect on Hurricane Katrina
and stories of people I know that lived in New Orleans during it. This play was
a representation of what many people went through during the hurricane, when they
were stuck in a flooded house with rising water, calling for help. The broadway
play If/Then was not as realistic. The play showed two different destinies
and the possibilities of things that would happen depending on what choice you
made. This play was very entertaining, but showed some truth and made me think “what
if” about things in my life. However, the play Rising Water really informed me
of what it could be like to be in a house with water rising. I think that
performances that are documentary style or naturalistic do end up providing
truth. I think fictional and non-fictional stories still end up shedding light
to some truth in life.
