| Nilaja Sun in "No Child..." |
Two times I week, I update the American Theatre Facebook page with a production photo from a different TCG member theater. Today I happened to upload this photo, from a Gloucester Stage production of No Child..., and it took me back to the time, nearly 20 years ago, when I first saw Nilaja Sun perform her brilliant solo show about teaching theater to kids in the Bronx. I had the pleasure of reviewing it for Newsday, and the following year, I spent a memorable brunch with Sun for a feature in the Center Theatre Group program, in advance of its run at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City. It was a joy to revisit these pieces (I'd forgotten, for instance, that she initially wrote the show on a NYSCA grant). I've posted both my review and the feature below.
