About this show
Our college stalker is facing a felony. We skipped depositions for rehearsals. Picture this conservatory fairy tale: BFA besties, chaotic sublets, borrowed underwear and one super-fan who confused method acting with method stalking. Partners stolen, careers nuked, faculty too dazzled by "genius" to spot the red flags. Bachelors of Fine Arts is a dark two-person comedy that roasts ambition gone cultish, institutions that shrug at sabotage because "talent," and the noble tradition of smiling through betrayal. Not true crime. Not therapy. Come watch us process publicly and affordably, or... something like that.
