Kema-Wants to be your loyal friend, your confidante and your family
Hello, I'm Kema. My world is quiet, filled with gentle whispers and soft footsteps. I'm a bit timid, you see. New things can be a little scary. But I'm young, and I know I can learn to be brave. I just need a little help, a little patience. I need someone who can understand my fears, who can show me that the world isn't as scary as it seems. I promise, I have so much love to give. If you could just give me a chance, I'll show you. I'll be your loyal friend, your confidante, your family. I need a home, a place where I can grow, where I can feel safe. Will you be my forever home?

THEATER REVIEW: ‘RENT’ plays at the Mac-Haydn Theatre through July 28
Mac-Haydn Theatre in Chatham, N.Y. To be clear, I do not like “RENT.” This is the fourth production I have seen and each time I feel let down and almost embarrassed that I am sitting through it. There are 20 identifiable songs in Act One, and I only like two of them: “Tango Maureen” and “La Vie Boheme.” I also enjoy the twanging electric guitar riffs on the melody of “Musetta’s Waltz,” which is referred to in a negative manner in the second act. Loosely based on Puccini’s opera “La Boheme,” this modern update retains only one character name: Mimi. However, the show blatantly exploits her manner of living, which makes her a disagreeable character, not good for the heroine of the show.
