TRANSFORMING HEARTS & MINDS ONE PRODUCTION AT A TIME
Tal is trying to get a competitive internship when he approaches his college advisor and mentor for an introduction to the company. The famous Professor Carson is all too willing to make the introduction but for a terrible price. While hiding his experiences from everyone in his life, Tal tries to figure out what he could have done differently. A play inspired by the #MeToo movement and the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, Runtime Error explores similar themes for men and how they cope or don’t.
