Notre Dame’s Department of Film, Television, and Theatre (FTT) announces Kenneth Lonergan’s This Is Our Youth at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center’s Philbin Studio Theatre, April 28-30.
Set in 1982 on Manhattan's Upper West Side, This is Our Youth follows 48 hours of three very lost young souls – wealthy, articulate, pot-smoking teenagers – in the Big Apple at the dawn of the Reagan Era.
A senior theatre production by Lucy Barron, Tommy O'Brien, and Gabe Ozaki, This Is Our Youth began as a class project in Professor Siiri Scott’s Acting: Text and Technique class, a course that was developed to help students make the transition from scene study into rehearsal and performance. The students work on the material in class, perform the scenes for one another, and receive feedback – then later perform the material in a full production.
