The crowd chuckled as the characters used obscured language  during the Luna Gale play, by Rebecca Gilman. The half filled theater echoed the sounds of the voices of the characters as the play went on, while the main characters ruled the stage through the dramatic script. Dressed in casual attire, the audience responded to the play through different sounds  during different situations that  occurred.  As the lights on the stage dimmed over the characters in the last scene, the audience applauded  in satisfactory.

“Being that I am a social worker I would understand the conflict the characters are going through, because they are trying to satisfy both parties,” Stephanie Omeodu, social work senior, said.

According to Omeodu, the play triggered many emotions inside of her which made her understand why the character playing the social worker had such a tough decision to make. Omeodu expressed that she understands how emotions can get in the way but, at end of the day the decision the judge makes stands, which she found helpful to her field of study.

Stubbs said she believed that the play had been well rehearsed and flowed nicely when switching different scenes.
