Today we did a reading for Imani's play. I wasn't cast to read any of the roles in her play, but I did follow along with the script while the reading was going on. It was interesting to see one of my peer's work being read. The only other time we have ever done this was with Brett's play, and since I was cast as a big role in that play I focused more on reading my lines than observing how other people were reading theirs. I have been following along with Imani's play since she started writing it and it has come a pretty long way. I thought it was much more interesting than the first draft she sent me. I learned a lot about playwrights as well during today's class. During the talk back, you aren't supposed to answer any questions about the context of the play, and you aren't supposed to take in any feedback at that moment in time.
