Family isn’t always blood, these two prove that! (Also how cute is elle fanning, stunning!). i know Bradley Cooper seems to rub people the wrong way but if he were a bad dude Pedro wouldn’t be friends with him so keep that in mind when you hear those rumors.
Appropriate: Every estranged member of the Lafayette family has descended upon the crumbling Arkansas plantation mansion to settle the accounts of the newly-dead patriarch. As his three adult children sort through a lifetime of hoarded mementos and junk, they collide over clutter, debt, and a contentious family history. Soon after uncovering a relic buried deep in the recess of their family's past, decades of resentment burst through centuries of historical sin.
No Exit: As an exploration of human nature and relationships, the play follows three people to a room in hell, where their torture is revealed to be each other’s company. Three damned souls, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle, are brought to a lavish room to await their punishment. While they expected some sort of torture chamber to punish them in the afterlife, they instead begin to realize where the true torment really lies.
Propaganda under the cut!
Appropriate:
dude this shit makes my mind go a million miles an hour…on its surface it’s about a dysfunctional white family’s reunion at their ancestral plantation homestead but at its core it is a distinctly Black commentary on racism written by a Black playwright that does not include a single Black character. it’s a ghost story whose most important character is the absence (nay, the ghosts) of the hundreds of slaves who lay buried under the family’s feet. it fucking slaps.
No Exit:
No Exit is a funny and gross examination of the way we interact with other people and how they affect who we are and how we feel, and also why we lie to each other. It’s such a fun exploration of character dynamics

Silent Reading
Everyone has a chapter of their life they'd rather not read out loud, times and testimonies they share humbly with an appropriate few, and a wisdom that only stems from a fool's experience. As tempted as we are to let those pages define or derail us, we have to remember that our story does not end there. If we repented, learned, and grew from that chapter - that's where many of our spiritual journeys began. Not a single page was a surprise to God. He used our broken pieces to not only get our attention but also to create something even more beautiful. Turn the page, keep going, and find peace in knowing that it's your plot twist that aligned you with purpose. your story is far from over, and there is no better time to revise it than now.
