True Light Productions Presents ON CAMPUS, Begins 3/10

True Light Productions is pleased to present the world premiere of award-winning playwright Steve Sherman?s ON CAMPUS, directed by Lincoln Center Theater Director?s Lab member Marc Santa Maria. ON CAMPUS will play a 3-week limited engagement at the LABA Theater at 14th Street Y (344 East 14th Street between First and Second Avenues, NYC). Performances begin Thursday, March 10th through Saturday, March 26th.

Characters from ON CAMPUS were inspired by my service work for the non-profit organization ESPERANZA ("hope") which is located in Tijuana, Mexico ? says playwright Steve Sherman ? I wrote it in the wake of many suicides at universities in New York.

On Campus reflects the pressures put upon university students who try to establish various relationships despite social and cultural differences. Meanwhile, a precarious affair between a student and professor throws all characters into a downward spiral, forcing everyone to help each other overcome the challenges of college life.

With Caitlin Gold, Jake Millgard*, Bobby Plasencia*, Sarah Saunders, Steve Sherman*, Ed Stelz and Chloe Tuttle.

Hana Kalinski and Steve Sherman are the producers. Set design by Daniel Zimmerman and lighting design by Chad Lefebvre.

ON CAMPUS plays the following schedule through Saturday, March 26th:

Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8pm

Extra performance Monday, March 21st at 8pm
