Godot finally arrives

Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot is a classic play that has always been open to interpretation. Some think the play is about God, death, or even just about life in general.

Instead of worrying about meaning of the play, audiences should ask three questions: Does the meticulously crafted language sound natural? Does it feel as though things are happening? And most important of all, is it funny?

In the Pierce College production, which runs through April 3, the answer to all three is a hearty yes.

Waiting for Godot begins with two men on a barren road by a leafless tree.

Vladimir (Cole Cook) and Estragon (Vince Cusimano), who are also known major who is in her sophomore year at Pierce College. However, those passing Gregory on the mall would not know that the petite blonde has been acting since she was 10 years old.

“At first, I didn’t want people [at school] to know that I act,” Gregory laughed. “I wanted to have a normal life outside of work. Only my close friends and a few professors know about it.”
