The School of Drama at The New School College of Performing Arts presents the world premiere of The Ruminants, directed by Ana Margineanu, School of Drama faculty, and written by Dipti Bramhandkar.

With only weeks left in her senior year, Bekka wonders if she has done enough to impact animal rights at her university. As the president of Animal Rights Now (ARN), she has organized numerous protests, but nothing seems to change. Determined to leave her mark, she plans a bold action that no one can ignore. But what will the cost be for those who join her and the animals she tries to help? The Ruminants is a new play that explores protest, privilege, and the lasting effects of one's actions. The Ruminants was developed as part of the 2023-2024 Farm Theater College Collaboration Project, with three universities: Austin Peay State, Shenandoah, and Middle Tennessee State University.
