Aaron Feldman arrives at college fully prepared with a charming personality, wealthy father and plenty of connections. His freshman year roommate, Iskinder Ioduoko, isn’t so lucky. The middle class student has worked hard to get where he is, and arrived on no one’s coat tails. Despite differing backgrounds, the two young men quickly develop a strong bond and pledge to a life-long friendship. That is, until one finds himself in legal trouble, and the other in a tricky position deciding whether to help…
Experience this psychological thriller up close and personal… THE RECOMMENDATION will be presented in an immersive style that invites audiences to (literally) walk a mile in these young men’s shoes. Featuring a new adaption from playwright Jonathan Caren and limited to 35 audience members per performance, our production is specifically designed for a more intimate viewing experience.
