If one were to go onto a college or university website, they would be bombarded with smiling faces, people talking and helping one another, diversity, and happiness. All of the best facts are listed on the website, and it is easy to forget the reality that lies behind these pictures.
Although the acting was sub par, the monologues presents were very real and relative to anyone in the audience. Each scenario presented showed a person that each member of the audience have known, will know, or some of the presentations described themselves. Unfortunately, you had to lean in and really follow along with each monologues because it was evident that the performing arts students had just been informed to learn their monologues.
It was easy to lose track as the student would speak, because there was rarely any comedic value, aside from Bebe, whom was simply a recorded of the counselor's secretary. It was also blatant and distracting that the counselor never said a word to his clients.
Aside from lack of preparation and powerful delivery, the stories were very real and pertained to every college student. I would go see it again if it were done differently.
