Photo Flash: First Look at Lisa Lewis's SCHOOLED at FringeNYC
By: BWW News Desk Aug. 17, 2015
The All-Americans present the World Premiere of SCHOOLED, written by Lisa Lewis and directed by James Kautz (Artistic Director of The Amoralists), as part of The New York International Fringe Festival. SCHOOLED runs from tonight, August 15, through August 27, 2015 at The Robert Moss Theater (Venue #15), located at 440 Lafayette Street between Astor Place and East 4th St., across the street from The Public Theater in New York City. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
From acclaimed storyteller Lisa Lewis and director James Kautz comes SCHOOLED, a fiercely funny and gripping new play about privilege, ambition, and the lengths we''ll go to succeed. Two university students vie for a competitive grant from their roguish professor in a taut threesome that tests their romantic relationship and their ethics. A biting drama with surprising humor, SCHOOLED is a searing examination of entitlement and envy, the lies we tell ourselves, and the truths we refuse to believe.
The cast includes Quentin Maré (Broadway: Rock 'n'' Roll, Coram Boy, Julius Caesar, Off-Broadway: The Castle with PTP/NYC, Sleeping Rough with Page 73), Lilli Stein (Pentecost with PTP/NYC, Job at The Flea, Appropriate at Actors Theatre of Louisville) and Stephen Friedrich ('Tis Pity She''s a Whore directed by Jesse Berger, CBS''s "Elementary").
The production team includes Tyler M. Perry (Set Design & Props), Evan Roby (Lighting Design), Christopher Metzger (Costume Design), Jeanne Travis (Sound Design & Production Stage Manager), Judy Bowman CSA (Casting), Matthew Schneider (Original Dramaturg) and Form Theatricals (General Management).
