theater--How to pray

I originally planned to see the play on April 7th (1), but we couldn't, because we had to leave for Canada on that day. Finally, I watched the play on April 14th with my friend. It was my second time watching a (2) play. The first time I watched a musical play was <strike>on</strike> last summer on Broadway. It was amazing, but unfortunately I did not understand most <strike>part </strike>of it (3) because of my poor English. While the play <em>How to Pray</em> is easier to understand than the musical one, <strike>but</strike> there were still many parts of the plot that were beyond my understanding. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the atmosphere.

The theater was not like what I imagined. It was small; the scenery was very simple; there weren't too many seats. There were about one hundred and thirty seats. I was surprised that it was fully packed. I thought it should be a very wonderful play that attracts a lot of people. Most of the audience members (4) are elderly. I thought my friend and I might be the youngest ones there. I entered the theater at twenty-five past seven. There were still many empty seats, but I did not choose good seats because of lack of experience. Our seats were at the corner, so we had to turn our heads to the right the whole time. I have learned my lesson now. After I sat down, I took a picture for memory and then waited for the play to begin.

(1) British: date first, then month
American: month first, then date

(2) "...watching the play" means it was your second time watching <em>How to Pray</em>
"...watching a play" means it was your second time watching any play

(3) you can use "most of it" or "most parts of it," both are correct

(4) <em>audience</em> refers to everybody who is there.  If you want to talk about the people in the audience, use <em>audience member</em>, or just <em>person/people</em>.
