No Child... Virtual Performance

July 31-August 1

By Nilaja Sun

"No Child…" follows the story of Miss Sun, a visiting teacher who uses theatre as a means of connecting with students in the New York City public school system. This one-person play, based on the playwright’s own experiences, is a  tour-de-force as the actor plays 16 different characters in rapid succession, including Miss Sun, her students, other teachers and administrators, and even  the school’s 80 year-old janitor.

An insightful, hilarious, and touching master class not to be missed by anyone concerned about the state of the education system and how it might be improved.
