Two River Theater Company presents

One Child


Ten students from seven different high schools band together to wrestle with education, adolescence, and their hunger to be seen and understood in an original play inspired by Nilaja Sun’s No Child….  This probing and dynamic new play, drawn from the students’ own lives and experiences, was developed over the course of three months through Two River’s PlayBack theater education program.

Written and performed by Liz Ditzel, Sophia Gutchinov, Catherine Healey, Evelyn Lumish, Princess Thomas, Chloe Triolo, Lauren Viggiani, Maddie Walsack, Jeianeira Woods, and Annie Zucker, in collaboration with Lauren Feldman and Pirronne Yousefzadeh.

PLAYBACK:

In 12 weeks, the cast of PlayBack will create and perform an original play based on the themes of a Two River Theater production – and drawn from their own lives, experiences, and questions about the world. This season, we will “play back” No Child… by Nilaja Sun - a tour-de-force solo performance based on her experiences as a teaching artist in the New York public schools. PlayBack will be performed on the Marion Huber Stage at the Two River Theater.

PLAYBACK: JACQUES BREL

In the 2010-2011 season, nine teenage actor/writes grappled with questions about life, love, aging, family and time – major themes in Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris. After 12 weeks of writing exercises, compositions, Viewpoints work, Suzuki actor training, and rehearsals, they performed an original musical in the Marion Huber Theater, entitled We Are Alive and Well.

PLAYBACK: PICASSO

In the 2009-2010 season, thirteen high schoolers banded together to wrestle with art, science, and the search for genius and human connection – as they create an insightful and dynamic new theater piece inspired by Picasso at the Lapin Agile by Steve Martin.
