MANHATTAN — The good thing about being a student at more than one university is that when one of them makes you mad you can always run to the other.
That's what James Franco did when he opted to stage his new multimedia production "Collage" at NYU, where he's a film student, instead of Yale University, where he is pursuing a PhD in English, after Yale put too many rules on student productions, the New York Daily News reported.
The Oscar-nominated actor had wanted to stage "Collage" at the Yale Repertory Theater but switched venues after he was unable to secure more than one weekend for the space, the News reported.
Franco chose instead to stage the play at NYU's Stella Adler Studio on West 27th Street in order to have a longer run, the News reported.
"I was facing resistance all along, wondering why we had to let the Yale production go, when other schools would be really grateful," Franco said to the News.
Franco will narrate the play, which is about his own process of staging a production, the paper reported.
