New York City youths cocreated the new off-Broadway production.
Gob Squad's Before Your Very Eyes, now running at the Public Theater, follows seven lives lived in fast-forward, from angst-ridden teens to hunched geriatrics. The piece offers an exploration of aging and was created over the course of the past two years in collaboration with 8- to 14-year-olds from around New York City. The company, comprising two featured casts, includes Mikai Anthony, Charlotte Beede, Rose Bell-McKinley, Eloise Celine, Meghan Chang, Margalit Duclayan, Keanu Jacobs, Simone Mindolovich, Jasper Newell, Elijah Pluchino, Maeve Press, Matthew Quirk, Miles Sherr-Garcia, and Aja Nicole Webber.
Take a look at clips of both casts from the brand-new show, playing off-Broadway through November 29.
