For this artistic community response‚ I will write about my experience with the play “The Octaroon” and how it relates to me as an artist. The main takeaways that I can draw form “The Octaroon” are that you should not be afraid to tackle real world issues or even playing with the form or style that you ae dealing with. The play had started out being playful in its delivery and overall tone‚ but then had sudden shifts in change. It could become dead serious and just as quickly take such serious matters

counterculturalists from all walks of life coming together to learn from a Jesus figure. The play directly quotes the stories and parables found in the book of Matthew.
