Watching “Pleasant Destruction” in conjunction with the talkback on Saturday gave me the visceral sense that theatre is most impactful when it unites talented, passionate individuals.
This show had an interesting start. It was first selected for performance by Cog Dog back in early 2020. I don’t need to elaborate on why that show never came to fruition. So after a two and a half year gap, the show was re-approved for production with almost an entirely different cast and crew. Samantha Sasaki ’23, who first pitched the show as a freshman, got to spend her senior fall working on her directorial debut alongside her co-director, Bianca Santos-Declet ’23.
