New and Noteworthy — March 2010
Long Wharf Theatre will present No Child, written and performed by Nilaja Sun, directed by Hal Brooks, March 17 through April 18 on Stage II. Sun faces an ambivalent student body, a constant stream of new teachers and impending Regents exams while struggling to put on a play production at fictional Malcolm X High in the Bronx. No one – teacher, student, janitor, principal or security guard - is left behind by Sun’s hilarious and heartbreaking expose, based on her own experience as a teaching artist in New York City. Meanwhile A.R.Gurney’s, Sylvia, directed by Long Wharf Theatre Artistic Director Eric Ting, stars Jacob Ming-Trent, John Procaccino, Erica Sullivan, and Karen Ziemba and runs on the Mainstage through March 14.
