When I walked into class and saw this daunting project sitting on my desk, I was in shock. No teacher has ever asked me to do an assignment requiring the level of work that this portfolio required. While no one component seemed too difficult, all of them together seemed impossible.

This evening I went to go see an anomalous play called Little Shop, which struck me as a fantastic performance put together by the ESU theatre department. The plays setting took place in an area called “Skid Row”, a large city somewhere in the U.S around the early 1960s. The characters interacted either in the flower shop or outside of the flower shop.
