Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything but it's not to say that nothings been happening in my life, just not enough time to update. I'm going to try and update my blog as frequently as possible, since it is one of the ways that I am attempting to document my life. Anyways long story short, I went out to see the play "The Secrets of a Black Boy", with a good friend of mine Tika Simone.
The play was mainly about six black male characters that all lived very different lives and were struggling with their own personal issues that were for the most part kept secret from the rest of the world. This play touched on various subjects such as; domestic abuse, stereotypes, sexuality, poverty amongst others.
I personally really enjoyed the play especially the second half. I found that the second half seemed a lot more developed and the characters had issues or "secrets" that were a lot more relevant to today's day and age that haven't been getting a lot of exposure.
One of the many messages I got out of seeing this play was the reminder of not to judge a book by it's cover. The play demonstrated that each character acted a certain way possibly due to certain things and events that have occurred in the past that may or may not be evident to a person that hasn't taken the time to get to know them. I really feel that this is a message that society often hears but doesn't take it seriously.
Tonight was the last night for the play & I must say that it was definetely a well put together play and it was written by one of Toronto's own Darren Anthony brother of Trey Anthony creator of "Da Kink in my Hair".
