Lindsay: Okay. Hi. I'm very excited. I'm here in the noise of the Thespians Festival as
you can see and I just got a great big hug from a guy who directed Emotional Baggage
and he just told me the coolest thing about the way that he staged it. So, I said, "Will
you do a video?" and you said, "Yes!"
Joey: I said yes! So, I did Emotional Baggage as a class project.
Lindsay: Yes.
Joey: And I staged it completely modern. It was completely realistic.
Lindsay: Yup.
Joey: They didn't have any masks or makeup on or anything, but everything on stage bought
light except for the baggage because my big thing was I wanted everyone to be connected
through their baggage.
Lindsay: Yeah.
Joey: And when they entered, each character entered and had a moment of serendipity which
was what we called it in the production. He had a moment of serendipity with the person
before them, and they kind of connected eyes, and they pause for a split-second, and they
kind of realize that they were connected. And then, the only color on stage was the
baggage which kind of separated everyone, sort of. Well Rounded, he wore a tie-dye shirt
and bell bottom blue jeans.
Lindsay: That is very exciting. So, tell everybody who you are.
Joey: I'm Joey Fernan and I'm from 2303 in Southern Maryland.
Lindsay: Oh, thank you so much!
Joey: You're so welcome!
Lindsay: It's so exciting.
Joey: So welcome.
Lindsay: Okay.
