What I liked

The acting was superb. So raw and real, and keeping the intensity and tension to show the harsh reality of living under these conditions. I loved being able to feel the connection in community when we moved the van, and the hygiene kits given to each audience member at the play gave us all a call to action to humanize those around us. That is beautiful. This is what art is for.

What I didn't like

N/A

My overall impression

A show is truly special when it can change your perspective and how you choose to live your life moving forward. Vanlyfe has shown the humanity in people we see on the streets who we might swiftly walk by and never look into their eyes. I felt moved by all of the characters’ stories and motivations, and I want to be able to extend that same empathy to my often-overlooked neighbors.
