    For this event paper‚ I decided to see a movie on the bottom floor of the J Standish Library at Siena College. I saw The Truman Show starring Jim Carrey who played Truman Burbank. The Truman Show is about a television show that has recorded the life of Truman ever since he was born. The television show is a worldwide phenomenon‚ the only catch is Truman does not know his whole life has been recorded. Every person in his life is an actor‚ and the producer of the show determines the fate of his life

    From Paperback to Becoming live Art The Weir was interesting and different than most theater productions I have seen‚ I personally felt the script was rather boring but with help from the designs the show came alive on stage. The style of the play was laid back which made it seem like the characters were relaxed‚ I agree with this style because it was more welcoming for the audience to become part of the play. The story line of the play can resonate with most people; being in a comforting place
