Content Advisory & Historical Disclaimer
Falls for Jodie is a fictionalized story inspired by the months leading up to the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley Jr. While the play references real historical figures and events, the characters, relationships, and situations depicted—particularly the imagined partnership between Hinckley and a hotel concierge near the Yale campus—are dramatized and created for artistic purposes.
This production contains mature material, including strong language, historically accurate slurs, and scenes or references involving sexual abuse and violence.
These elements are presented for narrative and historical context and are not intended to condone harmful behavior.
Viewer discretion is advised.

Doors: 6:30 p.m. | Curtain: 7:00 p.m.
In our postmodern world, is there such a thing as an original idea? When a young adjunct
English professor accuses a graduating student of plagiarism in his essay on postmodernism, a
battle of academic shrewdness and underhanded acts ensues, threatening to balloon and affect the
professional and personal lives of four people. Directed by Tristan Buss, Steven Drukman’s ivy-
latticed dramedy explores the real motivations behind and costs of ambition and competitive
careerism in academia with witty, devious precision.
