Nick Fesette

Nick Fesette worked with PPTG for five years while earning his Ph.D. in Theatre at Cornell.

He has co-written several articles with Bruce Levitt exploring how the group uses performance to engage trauma. He is currently an assistant professor of theatre at Oxford College of Emory University, where he continues his research, teaching, and theatre making. His book project, Cagecraft: Theatre and Performance in Carceral America, examines the prison system as a performing structure that continually re-stages race and class oppression.
