This Is Our Youth

A lacerating look at contemporary urban youth culture — a living snapshot of the moment between adolescence and adulthood

You choose your seats when you get to the theater.
A lacerating look at three young Manhattanites of the 1980s who come from wealthy families but are living in doped-out squalor. Dennis -- with a famous painter for a father and a social activist mother -- is a small-time drug dealer and a full-time slacker. His hero-worshiping, maladjusted friend Warren has just impulsively swiped $15,000 from his father, an abusive lingerie tycoon who is "not a criminal, just in business with criminals." When Jessica, a jaded fashion school girl, shows up for a date, Warren pulls out a wad of bills and whisks her away (awkwardly) for a night of New York seduction. How will Warren turn out? Will he continue to follow Dennis in his debauchery, or will he discover a way out? Remarkable in its understanding of contemporary urban youth, This Is Our Youth is a wildly funny, bittersweet, and ultimately moving story.
A co-production between Upstart Productions and Project X: Theatre. |
