Tommy Vines

Tommy Vines (CFA’24) of Brooklyn, N.Y., wrote, produced, directed, and starred in a play for a four-show run at an off-Broadway theater in July 2024. The play, i love you and i always will or charlie’s play, was first performed at BU’s Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre in September 2023. Other BU alumni working on the project include Trev Turnbow (CFA’24, Pardee’24), Emma Weller (CFA’24), Nicolas Zuluaga (CFA’24), Katelyn Thompson (CFA’24), and Madeline Riddick-Seals (CFA’24). “I wrote [the play] for my good friend Charlie Foster, who passed away from terminal brain cancer in 2022,” Tommy writes. “It is an experimental, movement-based experience that challenges the audience just as much as it brings all of us in the theater together.” Email him at tommy.e.vines@gmail.com.
