Rinse, Repeat Episode 1: Read the Label
If insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results, then Melissa and Tyler are the definitions of insanity. Maybe this time is different. Or maybe they succumb to the punishing blows dealt by New York City’s cutthroat rental market to wishful young couples just trying to get their lunch money right. Who knows!
“Read the Label” was created as part of Columbia University’s 2018 MFA Acting Proof of Concept class. Please forgive the errs, it was my last semester of grad school and anyone who has been apart of an acting program knows you’re just trying to get out!
