'No Child' Southeastern Premiere
April 18 thru May 17
GABLESTAGE
at the Biltmore
presents the Southeastern Premiere of
NO CHILD...
by Nilaja Sun
with
Directed by Joseph Adler
The play shines a light on the struggles-and miracles-of America's public schools. The actor transforms herself into an entire classroom of children, their teachers, their parents, the principal, the janitor and even the security guard with a metal detector at the front door. A master class on heartbreak and humor-which proves that one passionate person can still make a difference.
"Astounding! An object lesson in what should not be missing from any life curriculum: HOPE!" - New Yorker
"Touching and funny!" - New York Times
