NYU Tisch Debut: “Cherrywood: A Modern Comparable” at Playwrights Horizons
This spring, I had the opportunity to perform in a student production of Kirk Lynn’s “Cherrywood: A Modern Comparable” at NYU Tisch’s Playwrights Horizons Theatre School. I have spent my last two years of primary training in this studio where I have not only strengthened my acting, movement, and voice training, but also learned how to write, direct, and design. Each semester, advanced training students cast and direct plays, new work, and musicals, and I am so excited to have been in Emma Gordon’s adaptation of “Cherrywood.”
I played a curious, optimistic partygoer by the name of “F,” and I ended up consolidating my role with another character during tech week. The audience was able to sit amongst the cast members and wander about the space in an interactive format. It was so much fun working with my peers on an experimental piece, and I look forward to hopefully working with Gordon and my cast members again in future projects.
