I've tried it once and didn't find anything wrong...

...I still enjoyed it even if I was alone.

I'm actually talking about watching a stage play alone.

Sometime in 2003, I've watched a play alone (well by accident). Contrary to what others may think, there's nothing odd about watching a play alone. But I must admit it's different if you can watch it with a company. It's different when you can share your reactions while watching the show. Of course, you can also have "intellectual" (or trying to be) discussions afterwards.

Unlike if you watch a show alone, you need to look for on-line discussions about it before you can actually share your insights (which is quite rare for stage shows, I think). You may also simply blog about it (and wait for comments) or search for blog posts.

But you can never be alone all the time.... Haha!


For friends / acquaintances who've plans of watching the shows (both films and stage plays) below, ah, baka pwedeng sumabit (if we happen to have same planned dates to watch)? Please let me know (I'm just an e-mail away).

P.S.

Blogging is really a great tool for learning and... perks! Hahaha! I got a free ticket to Virgin Labfest July 8 show, "Identity and Politics." Not only that, I've the chance to learn from a theater critic and even exchange my PoVs with him.

That's technology - sharing of knowledge and well network-building.
