Single and Sexy

I still remember the big smile on my face as I walked out of the theatre; Single and Sexy was the talk of the week. It’s funny – now that I think of it – how we really underestimated the essence of the play…
Single and Sexy is an incredible act that is funny, informative, and realistic. It depicts the lives of university students in a very powerful and energetic way as it addresses situations that frosh might encounter.
Students enter university looking for a fresh start where they can be whoever they want to be. They long to try new things and undergo different experiences while building their most cherished memories that will stay with them for a lifetime.
As we students glide through our university years, we bump into obstacles and face challenges. Some of these obstacles or challenges are obvious and easy to overcome. However, others (such as the ones Single and Sexy presents) are not; they are indirect and implicit.
The characters of Single and Sexy underwent life changing situations that they never expected. They only hoped for a couple of fun, carefree, simple university years, but life had other plans for them. The state of unawareness is the worst state a person can be in because they become vulnerable to fall into traps and go down wrong roads. Single and Sexy captures the truth and exaggerates it to bring to our attention the problems that we are most likely to meet yet disregard. We all experience what the characters of Single and Sexy experience, on different levels.
As I think back to the night I watched those students perform, I recall being overwhelmed by the thought of this happening to me. I was astonished by how people could put themselves in situations like this. What I did not know, however, was that it is not as easy as it seems. Some things in life are just hard to resist, and you will never be able to judge unless you are put in that position.
University is a great, new, experimental chapter in our lives; the people we once were will easily disappear as we find ourselves and build our future. A bad decision or an incorrect turn could easily distort the bigger picture. So expect the unexpected and think before you act. Experience, but be careful; try, but be observant; engage, but don’t be naïve. Things don’t always turn out perfectly, but they come close to it sometimes. You have got to look for what you want, work to find it, and celebrate when you get it.
