On the Fyda-Mar Stage… 

Two college freshmen are about to grow up fast

“Every single thing leads to everything else…” Amber and Tom, finding their way as freshmen at Princeton, spend a night together that alters the course of their lives. They agree on the drinking, they agree on the attraction, but consent is foggy, and if unspoken, can it be called consent? With lyricism and wi t, Actually investigates gender and race politics, our crippling desire to fit in, and the three sides to every story.

Recommendation: Ages 15 and up. Contains mature subject matter and coarse language.

“Gripping. Beautifully rendered and complex. Destined to trigger discussion.”
— Los Angeles Times

“**** CRITIC’S PICK! Psychologically complex and politically charged, with energy and urgency…Ziegler’s meticulously detailed script is more than occasionally funny, despite its serious themes.”
— Boston Globe

“As it empathetically pries open the heads and hearts of its two fragile characters, Ziegler’s play powerfully indicts university culture…Openhearted and intellectually curious. Difficult to dismiss.”
— Washington Post
