The Practice Room

THE PRACTICE ROOM

Written and directed by JuJu Jaworski (February '24)

Set in the fictional world of Hanover Academy, THE PRACTICE ROOM evaluates academic validation and artistic burnout: what it means to be seen, how we measure talent, and how far one will go to be the “best” at their craft.
