On an exceptional idea of a date from my significant other, came forth a divine night left with unanswered questions and exchanged laughter. With so much on one's mind, certainly had me stunned towards the fact that a play titled by the large bird, "Albatross," would produce such a magnificent performance. Benjamin Evetts stars in as an immortal mariner who has found his way to Stillwell Theater of Kennesaw State University. Oddly it may seem, it is undoubtedly hilarious from the mouth of the mariner that possesses an iPhone 6.

The actor's performance calls for an unforgettable standing ovation as it was the only performance on the stage. It is by far the utmost form of oral poetry in contemporary
