The Flea Theater offers a video teaser of their upcoming production of Frank Winters' STUDENT BODY, a drama concerning sexual assault on college campuses. Directed by Michelle Tattenbaum, the play features members of The Flea's resident acting company, The Bats.
On a cold, winter night, ten college students meet in a darkened theater. Something's happened. By the end of the night, there are allegations and regrets, friendships are tested, and allegiances change. What is right is not necessarily the right choice. What would you do?

Gould (The Mysteries, a cautionary tale), Adam Alexander Hamilton, Comfort Katchy, Alesandra Nahodil (The Old Masters, The Mysteries), Daniela Rivera, Mariette Strauss (Sarah Flood in Salem Mass), and Audrey Wang.
