Expedition

When Jack decides to move halfway across the country for a new job opportunity, he leaves his working-class boyfriend behind in New York City -- both of them agreeing that they'll "close the distance" in a year. But as Jack's career ramps up and social pressures mount, both of them begin wondering if they'll be able to finish the expedition together -- or if they'll have to make the journey solo.

This world premiere drama by Rae Binstock (Columbia University '15, Massachusetts) is directed, designed, and performed by some of the most talented high school and college students from across the United States -- all of whom were selected through a rigorous audition/interview process and are receiving all-expense paid trips to New York City to create this work together.
