"Switch” Play Audience Member Experience

Being an audience member of the Playwrights project was hard. This is my first placement and I am just now getting use to the system. I felt that it was a very educational play that many people should watch to get more information about foster kids in California. It showed me how hard case workers actually work and how I should be more appreciative of them. Seeing some of the stuff was hard though, watching the young boy being taken away from his mother, when the mom was saying how she wonders how her daughter is doing, the teenager who lives on the street because he is not aloud in a home anymore, and many others. I got emotional and even angry but when I look back on it im grateful to have gotten to see that play. If more people watched that then maybe foster kids in California would be looked at differently and understood better.
