This Is Our Youth
Sunday, November 15, 2015. 2PM & 7PM

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. Cafritz Foundation Theatre, Free Admission, no tickets required.

PARENTAL ADVISORY: This performance contains adult subject matter and strong language.

The Weekday Players are proud to present “This is Our Youth” by Kenneth Lonergan for this fall.

A hit off-Broadway in 1996 and in a a Broadway revival in 2014, This is Our Youth follows three young adults in the Upper West Side of Manhattan over the course of one evening. Dennis Ziegler’s friend Warren Straub has been kicked out of his house, and has also stolen $15,000 from his father. Dennis and another friend, Jessica, have their own agendas and plans for the money, which ultimately ties the characters together as the play explores themes of materialism, adolescence, and maturity.

The Weekday Players are excited to present this timely show, as organized, acted, and produced by University of Maryland students. The show is free to the general public.

First performed in 1669, Tartuffe is one of the most famous theatrical comedies by Molière. The School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies explores how Molière’s brilliant portrait of corruption mirrors contemporary themes in religion, politics, duplicity and extremism, as relevant in the 17th century as today.
