and ideas hidden within the play on Oct 8 2015 Brandy Sebastianthe Telescope
Just past 7 pm and people are standing in clusters in the intimate black box theater throughout the lobby and
outside at Palomar College
Most of the performers and audience members were in this theater together for more than three hours Now itrsquos a
break for free coffee and cookies In just a few minutes some audience members are going to return to interact
with the cast one more time
This was a coffee talk on Oct 8 following the performance of ldquoThe Good Person of Setzuanrdquo Palomar students
both as performers and audience members faculty from several disciplines friends family and community
members came together in an open discussion to share their thoughts on social issues brought up in the play
ldquoThe Good Person of Setzuanrdquo shows the extent people will go while under economic duress The morality of
each character becomes less distinguished as their situations are exposed
This semester the questions were ldquoWhat does it mean to be a good person And is it possible to be good and
stay good in our societyrdquo The coffee talk was brought together to promote campus engagement in the arts
The coffee talk is led by Michael Mufson the director of the play Mufson said he found inspiration for these talks
while in graduate school He read about a liberal arts colleges holding open discussion after plays in order to
engage the community in discussion
Mufson said he believes this idea is perfect for a college environment
This tradition of open discussion on relevant social topics has occurred in some form for more than 15 years since
Mufson began directing at Palomar
ldquoThe questions are out there for people to engage inrdquo Mufson said
The discussion features four respondents each an expert in a different field The respondents include William
Leslie Mary Ellen Brooks Bill Jahnel and Cynthia Bond
Baruch Guerrero a Theatre Arts and Radio Communications major is the stage manager of this show Guerrero
spoke at the coffee talk and discussed ideas concerning society brought up in the play
ldquoBeing able to talk to everyone after is funrdquo Guerrero said
Gerrero said that working with a large cast was stressful but the
community established from the experience was worth it
ldquoIf you didnrsquot have a childlike energy it wouldnrsquot be fun at allrdquo
Guerrero said
The issues discussed at this coffee talk span from socioeconomic
status gender roles and ethics in natural law Brooks brought up
the concept of conflict theory which states that capitalism is
fundamentally unequal due to itrsquos nature and social conflict is
unavoidable in such a society
Karen Mcleod 30 said that the biggest challenge in this play is
playing two different characters that are very different When asked about the coffee talks she explained that
everyone is different and every gets something different from each experience
ldquoWe did the best to communicate with themrdquo Mcleod said
More information on upcoming coffee talks and other Palomar Performing Arts events can be found on their
