This is Our Youth
By Kenneth Lonnergan
Directed by Thomas Martin
Mark Wilson Studio Theatre, Xavier Hall | 3733 West Pine Mall
October 1 - 10 2021
In 1982, on Manhattans Upper West Side, the wealthy, articulate, pot-smoking teenagers who were small children in the 60s have emerged as young adults in a country that has just resoundingly rejected everything they were brought up to believe in. The very last wave of New York Citys 60s-style Liberalism has come of ageand theres nowhere left to go. In meticulous, hilarious, and agonizing detail, THIS IS OUR YOUTH follows forty-eight hours of three very lost young souls in the big city at the dawn of the Reagan Era: Warren Straub, a dejected nineteen-year-old who steals fifteen thousand dollars from his abusive lingerie-tycoon father; Dennis Ziegler, the charismatic domineering drug-dealing friend who helps him put the money to good use; and Jessica Goldman, the anxiously insightful young woman Warren yearns for. Funny, painful, and compassionate, THIS IS OUR YOUTH is a living snapshot of the moment between adolescence and adulthood when many young people first go out into the world on their own, armed only with the ideas and techniques they developed as teenagersideas and techniques far more sophisticated than their parents ever realize, and far less effectual than they themselves can possibly imagine.
Tickets and season subscriptions for the 20212022 Theatre & Dance will begin sales on August 2, 2021. All tickets and subscriptions should be purchased through MetroTix.com or at the University campus box office, located in Xavier Hall, the week prior to each performance.
