PORTRAIT OF JASON
TBA
Adapted by Bryan Smith '21
based on the film by Shirley Clarke and the stories of Jason Holliday
Senior Project in Drama members: Bryan Smith '21
About the play: On a December night in 1966, Jason Holliday — a Black, gay, hustler and aspiring nightclub performer — was invited to director Shirley Clarke’s penthouse for the opportunity of a lifetime. There at The Chelsea Hotel, Jason was to immortalize his tales of life, love, lust, and loss in a documentary film. However, when Jason’s jokes start to fall flat, the turmoil underscoring his relationship with his audience comes violently surging to the surface.

AS YOU LIKE IT

Written by William Shakespeare

About the play: As You Like It subverts the traditional rules of romance. Gender roles, nature and politics are confused in a play that reflects on how bewildering yet utterly pleasurable life can be.
