Today was a busy day at the office as i was introduce to a new project. My project allowed me to called other company and get basic information about their rental rates. These information will be useful for the theater because they produce varieties of play that are being performed in other theater. When they have these info that will provide them to know the rental rates of companies they produce their plays in. a project like that is also a way of organizing your information, so when time came you be able to know what are your options. The project is fine, i'm happy with it, and a little challenging,

MY EXPERIENCE WITH BETRAYED
On saturday March 22th i saw th play "BETRAYED". i have free ticket due t the fact that i my internship is with cultural project. Overall i was suprised with such with such a great show. the writing was brilliant and the acting was another arsenal into the play. The message that the show bring was really sad.
the show is based on Iraqis who risk everything to haelp American government and military in Iraq.In return these Iraqis have very little protection. the type of work that they do is considered spying in Iraq, if someone find out about their work they would easily lost their life. When these Iraqis who help America so much ask for a VISA, they were rejected.
The play provide m to see the war from the Iraq perspective.the experience i gained from this show really open my eyes toward the war in Iraq. The play make me feel the amount of danger and pressure that people in Iraq face. It motivated me to see how i would feel to be in a position like this.
