Sunday was free day/rest day with optional activities. Some of the boys went hiking, and the rest of us (sans Deisha and Sabina) watched "The Drowsy Chaperone". You can Google it, but in a GIF, this is what I thought of the play:
Now, I won't add much more except of how timeless the targets of the man-in-chair's lines/side comments were. The sarcastic remarks about how "modern" people always force how different and "elite-minded" they must be.
I thought the man-in-chair was a personal interpretation tool of the play producers in SIU. When I googled the play though, I read that he was really part of the play. I assumed his lines were also original. If I'm right about that, boy...the history of taste is mostly just a cycle then huh?
At least, that's how I interpreted this insight (the cyclic pattern of 'tastes') I took out of the play.

Same groups of traditionalists, modernists and "post modernists", yeah? Then in between you have those trying hard to be modern or post modern or traditionalist.
