SXSW Film Premiere About Tulane-Produced Play Amplifies Young Alumni Voices
Produced by Assistant Professor of Theatre Jenny Mercein, Roleplay is a documentary that follows the creative process of an original play of the same name. In 2019, fifteen students in the School of Liberal Arts co-wrote and performed an immersive script based on their own lived experiences with consent. Several Tulanians — from cast and crew to partners — reunited in March for the film's SXSW premiere, met with critical and audience acclaim alike.
