No Child… Written and Performed by Nilaja Sun Directed by Hal Brooks January 11 - 15, 2012 Evenings at 7:30pm; Matinee at 2:00pm
Hailed as an “intelligent, clear-eyed and sometimes painfully funny take on the absurdly dysfunctional state of public education” (The Boston Globe), Sun turns years of personal experience as a teaching-artist in the New York public school system into a rapid-fire, kaleidoscopic look at a multiethnic classroom of students, plus their parents, school administrators, even the janitor and security guard working the metal detector – all shaping America’s next generation on the educational frontline. “No child left behind? Not while Nilaja Sun is around” (The New York Observer).
“Astounding!” – The New Yorker
