College Studio Play

Emma is an actress. She is also living with an addiction, and it’s trying to kill her. In rehab, but not ready for recovery, Emma just wants to escape—through drugs, through performing, through anything that lets her make her own reality. People, Places and Things is a theatrical tour-de-force that evokes the vivid and disorienting world of intoxication and lies as Emma decides whether to fight for her recovery and the people, places, and things she’ll face there. Content Advisory: This production contains strong language and mature themes, including addiction, depictions of substance abuse and the use of needles, and references to suicide. There are strobe lighting effects, and sudden and prolonged loud noises. Ages 12 and up.
