ABOUT THE SHOW
At Malcolm X High School, situated in the poorest congressional district in the U.S., every morning students are greeted with metal detectors and security guards.
When enthused teaching artist Ms. Sun enters Ms. Tam’s 10th Grade class, she hopes to inspire students through a six-week workshop of "Our Country’s Good," a play about convicts putting on a play.
The room of rowdy teens do not don the “thespian” title as proudly as Ms. Sun had hoped as she muses on her choice of play.
Through theatrical techniques and classroom connections, the students and Ms. Sun discover how one determined individual can make a difference in the lives of many.
Inspired by playwright Nilaja Sun’s nine years as an NYC public schools teaching artist, "NO CHILD..." offers a unique perspective to the challenges facing the U.S. education system in this multi-character solo show directed by Pascale Florestal.
