Candide and Jailbait

On April 23th Theater Trac went to the New York City Opera House to see Candide. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go see the opera, but it seemed to have felt a great impression of the Trac students who did go to see it. The one thing everybody seemed to relatively agree on is that the music was great.

On May 7th, Theater Trac went to see
Mentor Project 3: Jailbait. Jailbait is the story of two teenage girls adventuring into adulthood by going clubbing and hanging out with two men in their thirties. In the small theater, the story going on the stage seemed so close yet, yet so far away that one Trac student said, "they felt like they were watching TV." I personally thought the show was great it made me laugh, and it almost even made tear up. It reminded me of a classic Degrassi episode; "it goes there." Jailbait is a classic story of what can happen when a teen attempts to live beyond her years.
