World Stage Theatre Company's Fifth Season continues with the funny and poignant, I and You by Lauren Gunderson with the World Stage directorial debut of Justin Daniels. The 2-person cast will star, Miguel Elionay and MJ Santiago, Parker Gelsthorpe and Londyn Anderson. I and You will feature one cast each weekend.
Play Synopsis: " One afternoon, Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate Caroline's door bearing a beat-up copy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, an urgent assignment from their English teacher. Homebound due to illness, Caroline hasn't been to school in months, but she is as quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. As these two let down their guards and share their secrets, this seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks a much deeper mystery that has brought them together. I and You is an ode to youth, life, love, and the strange beauty of human connectedness."
Sharing the top spot with Lynn Nottage, Lauren is once again the most produced playwright in the country for 2022/2023, according to American Theatre Magazine
