In a Bikram yoga studio in Harlem, aspiring yogis breathe deep under heat lamps and move through the postures of their practice, while their lives are forever changed. Over the course of three seasons, relationships, politics, grief, and birth alter the calm of the studio’s microcosm, while the country careens towards the fall 2016 Presidential election… and its results that no one saw coming.
With his trademark humor and subtle drama, James Anthony Tyler’s fantastically diverse and fabulously large cast of 10 characters will be brought to the stage by UAlbany Theatre students, performing alongside professional actors, in a reading of this work-in-progress.

What comes after graduation? Many College Experience students, in fact most, choose to remain in Albany. They maintain friendships with their fellow and former graduates, form romantic partnerships, and some get married.
