Wednesday, Jul 31, 2019

Class of 2017's MaYaa Boateng currently stars in the Pulitzer-winning play "Fairview", and will appear in the final season of Orange Is the New Black, now streaming on Netflix.

From The New York Times:

"Ms. Boateng is a young actress who uses the theater to dissect race and politics. She appears in the play "Fairview,” which won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in drama (and is currently at the Theater for a New Audience in Brooklyn through Aug. 11). Ms. Boateng hopes her provocative performances make her audience sweat. “I don’t think it’s a mistake that I find myself in unconventional and unapologetic theater,” she said. “As an artist, discomfort is my sweet spot.”"
