JULY 11, 2016—Tristate audiences are invited to the Regional Premiere of I AND YOU by Lauren Gunderson, presented by Cincinnati Actor’s Studio & Academy LLC. This show, which is part of CASA’s summer living room series, runs from July 14th – 17th at Essex Studios.
“One unexpected afternoon Caroline’s classmate, Anthony shows up at her door with an English assignment. Caroline hasn’t been to school in months due to her illness, but she is as quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. The two teens slowly let down their guards and spill their secrets, this seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks a much deeper mystery that brings them together.”
