Each semester, SUNY Korea's student club “MATE” prepares a theatrical performance for students, faculty, and staff at the Incheon Global Campus. This semester, the club hosted a two-day performance on May 28th and 29th, running from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM each night, with a total runtime of approximately two hours. Around 100 people attended each performance. As a part of the Incheon Global Campus Union of Clubs, this semester’s MATE consists of 23 members.
This semester’s production was “How Are You,” a musical theater piece featuring several musical numbers aimed at captivating the audience’s attention. The storyline revolves around a main character who regrets hearing about his past love’s news of marriage. An angel appears to offer him a chance to revisit the past and change his future. In the end, altering the past proves to be no easy task. Despite the main character’s inability to win back his love, he discovers valuable insights throughout the journey; similarly, the female protagonist also achieves a happy ending.
Sooyeon Lim from FIT, the director for this semester, concluded the production with a message for the audience, emphasizing the significance of the present moment. She remarked, “The past is behind us, and the future remains unknown, making the present crucial. It is our past that shapes our present existence, supporting us to live every moment carefully, without wasting a single one.”
