"This is quite simply, a sterling example of why we keep going…THIS IS

OUR YOUTH is as good as theater gets."   NY Daily News

 

 

"A rambunctious and witty play about wayward teenagers and post-adolescents that doesn't turn youthful travails into plastic rap…THIS IS OUR YOUTH—by turns caustic, cruel and compassionate—is the real real world."     New York Times

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Set in New York in 1982, This Is Our Youth follows forty-eight hours in the lives of three

very lost young souls: Warren, a dejected nineteen year old who has just stolen $15,000

from his abusive, tycoon father; Dennis, his charismatic drug-dealing friend who helps

Warren put the stolen money to good use; and, Jessica, the anxiously insightful young

woman who Warren yearns for. Funny, painful and compassionate, This Is Our Youth is

a living snapshot of the moment when many young people go out into the world on their own, armed only with the ideas and techniques they developed as teenagers—far more sophisticated than their parents realize, and far less effectual than they themselves can possibly imagine.
