October 15, 6.30 pm

directed by Jeff Zinn

With: Ami Brabson, Justin Lawrence, Jack Davidson, and Andrea Gallo

CRIB deals with questions of race, scholarship, and mental illness. Tracy is an African American Professor in the midst of a tenure fight. Rajon is a star basketball player, negotiating the challenges of freshman year and his court prowess. When Rajon is accused of plagiarism and faced with expulsion, Tracy finds herself in the middle of a unwanted battle between academics and athletics.

Hope to see you there

Every other year, I produce a new play festival through Clark University for student playwrights there to have their works read and performed.  It’s a cool event and I’m very proud of the students.   We run April 11 through May 1 at the Little Center Theatre on the Clark Campus.

Here’s a cool write up we got in the Worcester Magazine:
