FYI The Weekender: "How to Love" The Play
12:28 AM
Hey
everyone! I hope you all are having a great week so far! This past weekend I
had the pleasure of going to the stage play “How to Love” written by Demarcus
Bailey, staring Willie Taylor from Day26 and Latavia Roberson, original member
from Destiny’s Child.
I went to
the rehearsal the night before the actual performance and I thought that was
good, but when it came to the real performance, the play was awesome! I’m not
just saying that because the writer of the play is a Tyler native, or because
he knows my family personally, but the play was really good! You had your happy
moments, your sad moments, you had your characters that kept you laughing
throughout the play and that character that you could relate to. The cast was
great and their voices are amazing!
Demarcus says “What Inspired me to write was a good friend of mine was dating a girl in high school and she died I'm a car wreck, and I watched how he loved her, and I always wondered how did he learn to love again. This is a story about a couple who actually loved each other, and not only in relationships, it may be things that make it hard to move on, but sometimes you just have to release and let go!!!!”He wants the audience to “take the mindset out of urban theater, because you always see a man doing a woman wrong and how she feels, that’s not how I want to betray our community.”
