No Child... transfers for an open run at the Barrow Street Theatre

No Child..., a one-woman show written and performed by Nilaja Sun, has transferred to the Barrow Street Theatre for an open run. The show will open on the 16 Jul 2006, following previews from the 8 Jul.

The transfer follows a successful engagement at Theatre Row's Beckett Theatre, which closed on the 18 Jun 2006.

No Child... is a look into the New York City Public Education system by Nilaja Sun, who transforms into the teachers, students, parents, administrators, janitors,and security guards who inhabit our public schools every day and are shaping the future of America.

Nilaja Sun says, "I created this piece to be a snapshot from the trenches, something entertaining and provocative that'll get people talking about the state of our public schools in a new way."

Epic Theatre Center commissioned the development of No Child... as a result of Nilaja Sun's unique work in one New York City's toughest schools, Martin Luther King, Jr. High School, where Epic maintains an extensive arts-ed residency.
