The new Off-Broadway play FISH features Scenic Design by PMA Assistant Professor Jason Simms and Assistant Scenic Design by PMA Alum Thea Goldman '22. Created by Kia Corthron and directed by Adrienne D. Williams, FISH opened on April 2 and runs until April 20. It is co-produced by Keen Company and Working Theater, and is showing at Theater Four in Theatre Row, NYC.
“Between acting as guardian to her little brother and losing her best friend to the charter school on the upper floor, Tree is just trying her best to get through senior year at her underfunded public school. Ms. Harris, the new English teacher, has grown embittered over budget cuts and standardized testing – keeping every student afloat is proving easier said than done. When questions arise that no textbook can answer, both student and teacher will face their most challenging assignment to date. Kia Corthron's FISH is a frank, funny, and fearless new play about the everyday people who make up America’s education system.”
