INDEPENDENT STUDY | PRODUCTION STAGE MANAGER

Directed by Ran Xia Written by Ben Gassman The Tank 2018

“INDEPENDENT STUDY traces the unlikely friendship of a first-generation college student and her former professor, each struggling privately with a brother's radical choice and the onslaught of the internets opinions. The play grapples with tribal allegiance and tribal violence and with digital hate and its repercussions in physical space. Simultaneously it explores the limits of teaching and the burning insistence of the best students to make classroom ideas manifest in the world.” — Courtesy of thetanknyc.org
