Dear editor,
The college play, “Shipwrecked,” was one of the best-directed and acted plays I have ever seen.
The 90-minute play utilized entire actors’ bodies to portray the actions on the stage. Even though the main actor, Scott Cox, was amazing, as he talked and moved throughout the play without ever stopping, the other two actors, Jazmin Havens and Maxwell B. Kays, were equally outstanding by playing multiple parts.
Every moment of the play, the main actor was creating a situation, while the other two were changing the scene and creating the sound system for the vision of what Scott was doing. Not only that, Jazmin and Maxwell were moving the set, and changing characters many times. Each time, whatever they were doing, they did it without a hitch.
“Shipwrecked” was the most creative play I’ve ever seen on Broadway in New York City or produced as a drama teacher at the Iola Jr. High / Middle School. I loved the show and anyone who missed it, really missed out seeing five people, the directors, Trevor Belt and Lexie Vega, and the two actors and one actress, who created an excellent evening of entertainment!
When I returned home, I had a hard time settling down, so I was thinking I should write a letter to the editor. I had had the same notion when the I saw the last play at the college. That play was also fantastic and equally captivating because of the beautiful voices of each one of the actors and actresses.
Thank you so much Allen County College for creating Broadway-caliber shows.
