his existence, and that's me being diplomatic, like we're trying, that's perfect because that's exactly what we want to show, he is at the edge, but is it figuratively, or is it literally, that's the difference, is it figuratively, or is it literally, and that's what the play shows, or is it both, that's the beauty of theater, actually, that you actually can play with scenarios in a way that it's up for interpretation, now what I do, what I read, I should say, is that you also include the audience in a way that they're part of the situation, or like they're in the situation, in where I read somewhere that there's some combative, or some kind of uncomfortability that you're like, intentionally provoking for people to feel, so I did know how to interpret that, that's exactly it, because it's like what I was saying earlier, we want that audience to feel uncomfortable, we want it, most of the people that come to the theater, what we want, working class people to come to the theater, that's what we really want, right, but we want, why working class, why is this so important, why is it important, because this play is talking about the working class, specifically the working class, specifically the working class of people of color, how we are always in that box of you're the working class, keep going, you're paying taxes, blah, blah, blah, you know, so we're specifically calling on the working class to come see this play, because that's where it's not being talked about, in that bubble, it's going to work, do this, do that, you're always constantly moving, that you're not talking about this stuff, you're always busy, busy doing stuff, and it's important that we talk to that particular group, in particular, right, and so again, going back to the specific with regards to the working class, and just based on what you shared, in the constant going, the constant going, the suppressing, the possibly not really even being aware that it's there, right, because there's this level of autopilot in punching in, clocking out, right, and so, right, and so, and then there's also the people of color community, I want to say from the Latinos perspective, it's something that now there's a better understanding of like, we have to talk things out. We have to, it's important because, I mean, you're talking about generational trauma, you're talking about individual trauma, you're talking about financial trauma, you're talking about work trauma, and then you're talking about family trauma, all that stuff is coming together for the working class, and we don't think about it because we're constantly those, this month it's coming up, the daycareers do the phone, you're not thinking about what's going on in your mind, and soon enough, if you're in that place, it can snap so, so fast when the reality just smacks you in the face, and that's when you become immobile, literally like you can't move, and that's when we're trying to avoid people that get to, or fighting, or just exploding, we're trying to avoid getting people there, that's why this play is important, because if we're seeing it on stage, maybe you don't have to do it out there, maybe you could see a reflection of yourself or somebody else and be like, wow, I know, I don't want to do that, I don't want to go to that point, you know? And you know, when it comes to theater, I feel like, it's a culture that us is Thespians, and I say us because I'm a Thespian, it's right, thank you, I appreciate that, but it's my go-to when I do want to experience and or feel something in real time and shared it with other people, with strangers, right, because that's the whole idea of going to theaters, whether it be the movies or live theater, I personally prefer live theater, however, and the reason I'm opening up like this is like, it becomes questionable when you're saying to people, you know, you're going to come, you're going to feel uncomfortable, so like, it becomes a question of like, well, you know, people want to go to theater to feel good, forget about these, you know, they want to have music, you know, everybody wants to dance, and we want to happy ending, and I'm not saying that the reason happy ending because I don't know, it hasn't opened yet, but, you get my point. I get your point, that's a good question, but as a society where we are now, we've been leading too much, and this is just my opinion, we've been leading too much on the entertainment factor, rather than the, hey, our jobs as actors and thespians is to hold the mirror up to society and be like, hey, I'm just giving you back where you're putting out, you know what I'm saying? So, the entertainment is great, and it's fun, and I love superhero movies and Spider-Man
