Directed by Hal Brooks, the acclaimed actress and teaching-artist Nilaja Sun explores life in one of New York City’s public schools, magically transforming herself with rapid-fire precision into the students, the janitor, the teachers, parents, administrators and security guards who inhabit the school.
The school system is tragically breaking down, but Sun finds much life and humor in the school’s classrooms and even a bit of hope in the young people who represent the future of America, as she works with them in creating their own production of Timberlake Wertenbaker’s play Our Country’s Good.
