Four construction workers on the same job site, with the same task of building are given different opportunities as the days go by. While the workers deal with those issues on the job site, a rift between coworkers and friends begins and is brought to life from words on stage by this theatre class. <\/p>\n
\u201cTheatre is just like music, you can\u2019t feel the emotion on a CD, but live, you feel it.\u201d Theatre Arts Professor Donna Mendoza said. <\/p>\n
Mendoza is producing the play \u201cDistant Fire\u2019s,\u201d written by Kevin Heelan, this semester at the San Jose City College theatre. <\/p>\n
With a small cast of five, a large story is unfolds too a large audience. A story that would apply with today\u2019s headaches and reality. <\/p>\n
\u201cI just got bit, you know, just to be on stage, hearing people laugh. Just to entertain everybody, is just fun,\u201d the lead of \u2018Foos\u2019 is Film\/Television major Larry Belfield, said. <\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the reason why I picked this play: its about work, the issue of what almost every one that has had a job comes across,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cTo please the boss, to follow the rules, trying to break the glass ceiling to move up.\u201d <\/p>\n
Social science major Cedric Bynum said the story can reach many here at SJCC, \u201cAnyone can sit down and see what\u2019s happening, the story is universal. Anybody that sits down and watches this production, can see themselves- It\u2019s based on emotion.\u201d Bynum said. <\/p>\n
Most would not think of going to the theatre for entertainment now days, most may have not even seen a play.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a new perspective, you have to get into someone else shoes.\u201d Communications major Adam Belardes said. \u201cI dare people to put themselves in someone else\u2018s shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n
A movie is detailed beyond reality, from the back ground sounds, to the colors and direction of light chosen for that scene. Sometimes masking over the story it\u2019s self. \u201cThere\u2019s an energy that you don\u2019t get while watching a movie.\u201d Tammy Abretu-butron Psychology major said. \u201cSo if they come out and feel it, its so different and it\u2019s amazing.\u201d <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
