Dionysus, Help Me... (2008)

'Sometimes, you have to laugh or you'll cry.' Dave Williams, the protagonist in "Dionysus, Help Me," finds himself laughing a lot. The lone theatre professor at The Ohio State University Newark campus has applied to nearly one thousand institutions of higher learning in an attempt to escape Newark, Ohio. Stuck in a town full of NASCAR and McDonald's, this eccentric child of Ithaca, New York longs for the lights, the art, and the opportunity of "the city."
