What I liked
Sofie definitely hit the crowd and myself with the feels right at the end when she mentioned how her struggles were nothing compared to the other people in the Australian bar who could be killed for what they believed in. At the end of the day just because people have different opinions and beliefs doesn’t mean people should deter to violence to get their message across.
I specifically liked how she was quickly able to go in and out of her father and mother’s accents cause you had two polar opposite personas with either sad or positive stories.
What I didn't like
I was a bit confused about what to expect from the show specifically from the marketing posters on Facebook and various websites. But then again I also haven’t been to a improv like show before so it was still fun either way.
My overall impression
As a Pakistani American Muslim, I’m used to hearing stories about people who convert to Islam and learn about the struggles they go through while being a convert. It was definitely an eye opener and an important use can for future dialogue for people who have different ethnic backgrounds and beliefs that deal with the issues that we do.
The Pakistani and Muslim communities can definitely be tough to crack into especially if you aren’t part of the mainstream groups of being either desi or Arab or Sunni. Throw in being half Mexican and Pakistani, and a sexual orientation other than straight and you have quite the melting pot.
