My experience of "Ruined"


    Personally, I loved this play. I would see it again and again if I could. It was beautiful from beginning to end. I was captivated by it. After watching it, I desired to be on stage again and perform. I even tried writing my own play (with little success). The content of the play really got me thinking about the people of the Congo and what I myself can do to help. A lot of times I get the belief that because of my age I wouldn't be taken very seriously but nothing is worse then never trying to do something to make a difference. I work with young girls and I am a mentor, so it really saddened me to see how women are treated and violated in such a way. I never can tolerate hearing such stories and I take it to heart when anyone is hurting, especially young women. I am just hoping for a day of liberation and piece from war and violence because I believe that their are other ways to solve problems. I hurt for the pain of Africa and all the blood that has been shed on that land. I just pray that we stop seeing things as just a problem that "those  people" are facing and see it as a problem for all of us as a whole.
    As far as the play, I thought the acting, singing, dancing, music, everything, was wonderful! Everyone did such a great job and the spirit of the actors was inspiring. I was delighted to be able to meet some of them after the show and just thank them for a wonderful performance! They all seemed very passionate about what they were doing and took it very seriously as they should.
