Culture Shock

A mockumentary comedy series that follows a wildly diverse group of BFA acting students trying to survive drama school, each other, and themselves.

Set at the fictional McLarty University, Culture Shock pulls back the curtain on the chaotic, cringey, and deeply funny experience of being young, ambitious, and trying way too hard to stand out… while desperately wanting to fit in. The show combines the dry, awkward humor of The Office with the heart of Abbott Elementary — all set within a performing arts program that has no idea how to handle the actual students it accepted.

This isn’t just a show about actors — it’s about identity, self-awareness, ego, performance offstage, and the discomfort of realizing you might be the problem… or worse, not even memorable enough to be one.
