All My Sons

A good review for Calbaptist's All My Sons and according to Mark Wyatt, "powerful"(an off the record overheard quote). The Theater Department at California Baptist University has moved into a new age. Right away this can be seen in the set which is well done and brings the story alive as the actors unveil the story. Lee and Krista are bringing some amazing things to the program there. They add in talented students and stories arise with purpose. Krista began the show by talking about the content of the show, prefacing how there may be parts of the show that could be difficult. More importantly the story can move from being harmful to having a purpose. And that is what she focused in on about Joe and the other characters lives and how their purposes impacted their lives.
In todays world the language of the masses is stories but it seems as though it is hard to find meaning in the many stories that pass by not knowing what they are saying about life. I'm not saying every movie we watch should have some like note of preface but maybe this what stories are for, that their purpose is to have purpose. So we can find it helpful to know this as to not be harmed by random interactions without any thought of what were seeing. I think especially for children to know its not just harmless fun which is something the next generation needs to defend themselves. It is great to see that they are building this into the program.
