Paradox of Education

By Ty Greenwood
April 4th – April 20th 2026
Carter Woodson Redwood Theater
Madison Arts and Entertainment Center
World Premiere

Ty Greenwood’s Paradox of Education is a bold and unflinching look at the cost of ambition and the pursuit of belonging within America’s higher education system.

First developed through ASOLO Repertory Theatre’s Ground Floor Playwright Commission, this gripping play unfolds at a prestigious PWI, where a group of Black scholars fight to hold space in a world that was never built for them. What begins as shared laughter and solidarity soon unravels into a relentless exploration of identity, expectation, and survival within an institution that celebrates diversity but resists change.

As friendships are tested and dreams collide with reality, Paradox of Education asks the urgent question, “Where do I belong?”
