: Kenny S: Client is upbeat and a positive presence within the group, which seems to be the norm with Kenny. Uniquely, he comes prepared, is eager to “do the work”, additionally, he is not afraid to hold other group members accountable when appropriate. For this assignment, Kenny attributed the role of Toto (best friend) to be his wife, and explained further how he owes her an amends for his years of philandering. The Lion (courage) is represented by his sponsor, Greg, while his oldest sister, Karen, is his Tin Man (heart). Kenny spoke highly of his former counselor, Kevin, saying his was a good advisor and therefore, plays the Scarecrow (brain) role in Kenny’s production. The one who always blocked Kenny’s way and tried to bring him down, is his deceased father, who plays the Wicked Witch. Whereas, Aunt Dianne plays the Wizard of Oz for Kenny because he feels that she has all the answers. His “annoying dog”, Rusty, plays the Flying Monkey (pest) in Kenny’s scenario, while his Aunt Annetta plays Glenda, the Good Witch (who always wants your best interest at heart, and tries to guide you). Lastly, Gary M, the CMA at the “Y”, is Kenny’s Auntie Em because he is strict and no nonsense, but wants what is right-signifying home.

The production of Honky is a satirical comedy, following the lives of five people and the language of racism. While it focuses on the plot of 5 characters, the storyline was well thought out and intriguing. One actor in specific, Gerard Joseph, who played Thomas, did an exceptionally well job at conveying emotion and projecting to the audience, in my opinion. The overall directing, from the actors to the soundtrack and lightning, seem to be presented with excellent detail. Overall, this production was well done.

Through his journey, Ed discovers that he has now become “full of purpose rather than incompetence, he also becomes more confident, and also improved him as a human
