In 鈥淧ut Yourself Out There,鈥� a lonely grad student visits their undergraduate alma mater to see their college friends, a mix of other alums and current undergrads. Expectations of a happy reunion are challenged as the group grapples with differing views of the past and present. The play explores graduation as the ultimate test of college bonds.

The is a nonprofit organization that supports the development of early career artists. For the College Collaboration Project, the theater commissions a playwright to develop a play with groups of students from three different universities. Each university involved in the process stages the play one at a time, and the playwright revises the script between productions.

OCU University is the first on the list this year. Theatre major Elise Bear is directing the show.

Reynolds-Knott, a Brooklyn-based artist who holds an MFA in film from Columbia University, began collaborating in the spring semester with each university鈥檚 students via video conference to work on the script, then wrote and workshopped it over the summer.

Other universities participating are Centre College in Kentucky for a second staging in February, and Furman University in South Carolina for the third installment in April.
