She managed to recount her whole theater experience as if she was accompanying the audience starting from the arriving at the illustrious place and finishing with the standing ovation. The actress in particular praised how the show unearths the common man’s suffering by raving about how the performance unveils the large-scale peaks of human impact on American prisons; she called it “art giving you knowledge” that turns those cold, hard statistics into tales of endurance and exploitation. For being a previous resident of Baltimore, and thus being very familiar with the area, she expressed her never-ending gratefulness to the Center Stage company of Baltimore for its role in producing the artwork that is at once bold but relevant and serving the purpose of being the artist’s home.

The responses to her post were a microcosm of the glorious occasion, where the reaction of the people mingled with that of the audience being at the same time the place of the theater’s location which reflected the liveliness of the creative culture of the city. One comment said “YOU were in town!!!! I have tickets for Wednesday!!!” showing the commenter’s excitement about the host’s presence in the city. Another the same day user went on to confirm the quality of the show in a very simple yet emphatic way by saying “It’s soooo good!!! Saw it Friday”.

Many people said they saw Sonja, one of them commented “Saw you there!! Thanks for loving on Baltimore.” The feeling of community has definitely been transferred to the creative team with someone from the production joining the chat to call out “Come see us before 9th of Nov!”

Sohn highlighted the urgency of catching the performance that will last till November 9th at Baltimore Center Stage. The actress even said that she might give away free tickets which is a great blessing for the entrance seekers who had been hesitating. In a similar vein, the artist’s intimate narrative of the event served as personal consideration and firm support of the socially aware piece.

The actress’s connection with Baltimore granted her a very unique and honest recommendation that she not only relied on Baltimore’s history but also laid the present day of its cultural institutions. It has now become evident that the creation of a welcoming environment in theaters that offer “a theater for everyone” and “proudly making actors a home for bold and relevant pieces of work” is not just an endorsement of the institution but also a support to one the institutions that the theater considers highly.

Not everyone has to be afraid that they will be left out of the fun just because they got delayed as tickets are still available on the theater’s website for those who want to enjoy the play which was referred to by the actress as “fearless, funny, and deeply moving.” The show is just the kind of socially-engaged art that has colored the life of the actress, making her endorsement feel even more powerful than just an advertising trick.

The actress gave a very comprehensive account of the performance’s attributes that ranged from its comical parts to touching, soul-stirring revelations about the justice system which had made clear to the potential audience what to expect very distinctly and loudly. The combination of a high-profile super-star’s endorsement and an artistic merit that is hard to contest has created a tempting reason for theater-goers to get their tickets in advance because November 9th is the last day.
