Rising Quinnipiac Sophomore Talks Acting and Growing Closer to His Friends in this Weird New World

In this episode of Isolated Together, host David DesRoches interviews rising sophomore Frank Scott, who's majoring in Film, TV and Media Arts. Frank was one of the actors in the production of the play Rage, an adaptation from Stephen King’s first novel, which is about a school shooting. Frank plays a character named Ted Jones, an "All-American" boy, who isn't afraid to show his cockiness but also his moral authority. He speaks with this moral outrage that the audience likely identifies with. Ted isn’t actually the shooter in the play -- that character's name is Charlie. But by the end of the show, you somehow come to empathize with Charlie, and you end up really hating Frank’s character, Ted.  The play was adapted for the state by playwright Elizabeth Dinkova and this was the very first time the play had ever been performed. But only a week after the play made its debut, the campus shut down because of the coronavirus. The production had been a daily part of the cast and crew's lives for the better part of three months, and when it was over, so was school (at least for the semester). In this interview, Frank talks about the play, the pandemic and how he’s coping, and some other stuff. Isolated Together is a production of the Quinnipiac University Podcast Studio and is produced by David DesRoches, director of community programming. Learn more about your ad choices.
