This is our Youth
October 19, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm CDT
Kenneth Lonergan
Venue: Stage Center Theatre
THE STORY: 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 teenagers – ideas and techniques far more sophisticated than their parents ever realize, and far less effectual than they themselves can possibly imagin.
