About this Event

Class Act written by Rich Rubin

Kai, a young African-American woman, is a conscientious student at a prestigious East Coast university. When Rebecca, her sociology professor, seeks a volunteer to portray a living-on-the-edge prostitute as part of an in-class, role-play exercise, Kai raises her hand, believing that she's helping to "give voice" to a marginalized member of society. Kai's performance in that role proves to be extraordinarily realistic -- so realistic, in fact, that unintended consequences soon result for Kai and Rebecca both.
