THIS IS OUR YOUTH Runs Dec. 3-6

XU_This is Our Youth promo

Mac Blais as Dennis & Griff Bludworth as Warren.

THIS IS OUR YOUTH
Xavier Univeristy Theatre
Dec. 3-6
Evanston

Directed by Ed Stern

Cast: Mac Blais as Dennis, Griff Bludworth as Warren & Tatum Hunter as Jessica

THIS IS OUR YOUTH follows three wayward young people as they navigate 1982 New York, recreating their broken homes in both their dysfunctional friendships and their bungled attempts at finding love. THIS IS OUR YOUTH is a living snapshot of the moment when young people first find themselves on the threshold of adulthood — when they are far more sophisticated than their parents realize and far less effectual than they themselves can possibly imagine. THIS IS OUR YOUTH reminds audiences why The New York Times calls Kenneth Lonergan “arguably the most important American playwright of the last 20 years,” and why Slate calls him “the most potent dramatic voice of his generation.” Note: Contains Adult Language and Situations.
