BRCC Student Production: This is Our Youth
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, January 31-February 2, 7 p.m.
Sunday, February 3, 3 p.m.
Tickets $15; Students free (reserve tickets online)
In meticulous, sometimes hilarious, and occasionally 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. Funny, painful, and compassionate, it offers 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 imagine.
“This is quite simply a sterling example of why we keep going… THIS IS OUR YOUTH is as good as theater gets.”
