Simply NWC

Hello and welcome to my blog my name is Owen and I'll be your blogger today.  So last week I along with quite a few other Hixsons attend the NWC diversity event. Now for those of you who do not know what NWC stands for, it means...you should probably look it up. On a more serious note the whole show was about racism and what it means to people.

All and all the show was hilarious I spent nearly the whole time in a hysterical laughter along with nearly everyone else in the room.  The play followed 3 actors as they acted out scenes involving racism and stereotypes.  The actors were very passionate about what they were doing and put on a very good show.  They went full force into issues of race and the impact of hateful words and stereotypes.

I felt that the message was clear and they did a good job of portraying the feelings of many people on how racism affects them.  Although on the other hand I feel that America as a whole is more tolerant then ever of race and hatred.  I feel as though racism has started to fade away and becoming more remote everyday, granted we're never going to be able to eliminate it all together.  Overall I thought the show was very good but whether I would be willing to pay $40 dollars for it that is something else entirely.

  1. True. That show was very funny but 40 dollars is a lot of money. I don't really get what made them think their show was worth that much. But it did show me anyway that it is best to be diverse and open minded.

  2. I enjoyed their comedy skits as well. They presented their message in less casual way than normal presenters do. In doing so, I think they got through and impacted more people.
