Jersey Arts Podcast: Ferrell Studios Premieres Their First Full Length Play: 'The Shape of Things'


By Gina Marie Rodriguez, JerseyArts.com

originally published: 12/06/2024


Founded by Luke Ferrell in 2022, Ferrell Studios offers exceptional and affordable performing arts education and theatrical productions. They offer a variety of classes and programs, including acting, musical theatre, playwriting, film and television acting, public speaking, and theory and criticism as well as private lessons for those who want to focus on a specific area of study.

At Ferrell Studios, they believe that the arts have the power to inspire, uplift, and transform. They strive to create a positive, supportive environment where students can feel confident and comfortable expressing themselves.

With a mission statement like that, there is a lot to expect from Ferrell Studios so it’s no surprise that their first full length play is something as thought-provoking as “The Shape of Things.”Starring Catherine Hunt, Max Miiller, Breanna Schad, and Steven Franklin, the four-character play explores how far someone is willing to go and how much they change for who (or what) they love.

“The Shape of Things” is presented at the Mignolo Arts Center (272 Lake Avenue) in Metuchen December 13-14 at 8:00pm and December 15 at 1:00pm.  Tickets are available for purchase online.

Here you can listen to our interview with director Uchenna Agbu and stars, Catherine Hunt and Max Miller. There’s a lot to break down.
