Not Your Buddy, a new play conceived and written by Princeton senior Chloe Satenberg ’24, follows four female counselors at a Jewish summer camp as they navigate their friendships and confront their history during the interstitial time between high school and college. Via monologues and dreamscapes, the play immerses audiences in the tormented mental state of protagonist Buddy—a 17-year-old counselor undergoing a crisis of identity. Co-directed by Satenberg and Princeton graduate student Daniel Landez.

Content Advisory: Production includes the use of flashing lights, sudden loud and intense noises, and repeated loud music.
