"I wanted to make philosophy visible — to put ideas into bodies and onto a stage. NYU made me believe that was not only possible but necessary."
— Blair Simmons, CAS '16
About Blair
Blair Simmons wrote and directed Staging Wittgenstein — a theatrical adaptation of the philosopher's life and ideas — while still a student at NYU. The production was accepted into the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, one of the most competitive theater showcases in the world, just months after Simmons graduated. The work exemplifies the kind of ambitious, ideas-driven theater that NYU's arts ecosystem makes possible: rigorous in its intellectual source material, inventive in its staging, and bold enough to travel internationally.
