Crumble

Stockton’s Theater Club put on a play called Crumble: Lay me Down Justin Timberlake. The play opened on November 12, 2014 and ran until November 16th. I watched the performance on November 13th. It was an excellent show. I went to see the show because one of my friends, Phoebe Gruetter, was acting in it and some friends and I wanted to go to support her. Phoebe played a character called Barbara. The aunt. The other characters were a mother, a daughter, a father, Justin Timberlake, and a building. It was a deep and meaningful show that addressed topics such as family and loss.

The play was in the Experimental Theater, which is next to the Performing Arts Center. The Experimental Theater is a small room that holds about 70 people. The stage took up the majority of the room, and there were a few rows of chairs lined up for the audience. When I saw the show, every seat was taken. The show was about two hours long. Through the audience’s response, it was clear that the show was a success.

After the show, the cast set up chairs on the stage where they sat and spoke to the audience about what the show means to them, how they relate to their character, what is was like rehearsing for the show and things like that. Hearing from the actors, the director, and the behind the stage crew was interesting. The answered questions that they already had prepared as well as questions that the audience had for them. The cast members took turns alternating who answered each question. Their answers were informative and gave a new perspective to the show. Crumble: Lay me Down Justin Timberlake was a great production.
