Teens React to Rick Perry's "Strong"
As you know, I'm a big fan of the Kids React series, which has a new show called Teens React. I am especially interested in episodes that focus on social and political issues. Last week's episode of Teens React focused on Rick Perry's campaign ad.
We haven't talked much about the upcoming elections in rehearsal, but I think this video is interesting. I also think it's a good time for the cast to pat themselves on the back for being politically informed (since most of the teens in the video don't even know when the Presidential election is). Enjoy!

Time's Person of the Year
I bought the Person of the Year edition of Time magazine to read on the airplane. As you may know from my previous post, they chose to honor the protester this year. The article has a lot of great images, and I will bring it to rehearsal if you want to take a look. The thing that struck me was one line that sounds like it could have come right from Boal's mouth:
"It was marvelous to see people become the actors in their own lives...You could watch them breaking out of their passivity."- Olmo Galvaz, Madrid protester
Postsecret
Postsecret is a project where people can anonymously mail a postcard with their secret on it, and the editor posts some on the postsecret.com blog. This Sunday, this was one of the secrets posted:
Beauty
Carli sent in this song because the lyrics reminded her of what we've been talking about with beauty. Check it out! Do you think we could use this somehow in the beauty scene?
