about this project

The goal of this project was to create composition that will clearly distill the arch and story of a play using a visual medium or your choice. In the play, senior Donnie Bryant creates a kickstarter that is linked to his school’s website which my composition was inspired by.

The audience is first brought to the Tumbldn High School Website with minimal information, then links to a “kickstarter” which presents the story of the play through images, quotes from the text, Zoom recordings, and images.

The story

Exit Strategy is about a white administrator who uses a student’s heart and his teachers’ determination to selfishly fuel his own image. This play dissects how those in power can abuse those with a purpose and care and reveals the ugly realities that have infected the American public education system.
