THE PRACTICE ROOM

Written and Directed by JuJu Jaworski (Fordham ’24)

KODACHROME

By Adam Szymkowicz
Directed by Michelina Smith (Fordham ’24)

Welcome to Colchester, a small town where everybody knows each other and the pace of life allows the pursuit of love to take up as much space as it needs. Our tour guide is Suzanne, the town photographer, who lets us peek into her neighbors’ lives to catch glimpses of romance in all its stages of development. A play about love, nostalgia, the seasons and how we learn to say goodbye.

Tickets available on Tuesday, February 6!

PAUL

Adapted from the novel Paul takes the form of a mortal girl by Andrea Lawlor
Written and directed by Yev Gelman (Fordham ’24)

It’s 1993 and Paul Polydoris tends bar at the only gay club in a university town thrumming with politics and partying. He studies queer theory, has a dyke best friend, makes zines, and is a flaneur with a rich dating life. But Paul’s also got a secret: he’s a shapeshifter. Oscillating wildly from Riot Grrrl to leather cub, Paul transforms his body and his gender at will as he crosses the country –– a journey and adventure through the deep queer archives of struggle and pleasure.

Tickets available on Tuesday, April 9!
