playwright & theatre artist
“thrillingly, even touchingly, weird.”
CLASS DISMISSED celebrates the exuberance of young minds imaging a future of possibility in an intellectually exhausted and emotionally self-absorbed pataphysical academia.
Featuring:
Two grad-students hallucinate a post-capitalist manifesto while their favorite professor slides into dementia; and his arch-nemesis (The Other-Lit-Professor) performs love poems inspired by her affair in a prestigious artist colony.
​
Anticipate your (consensual) participation as we peel yuca, improvise dances, make butter, and invite the audience onstage to eat (bread), drink (Puerto Rican rum), write on the set (with chalk), and swap books (that you bring to the show). With live music, sing-alongs, and a different guest artist at each performance.
This is the grad school you wish you went to!
