ACME Comedy NoHo (North Hollywood, CA)
Kenneth Lonergan’s This Is Our Youth takes a lacerating look at two days in the lives of three wealthy, articulate, pot-smoking teens in 1982 Manhattan. The product of affluent New York families, the trio is comprised of wannabe thief Warren, wannabe drug dealer Dennis and fashion student Jessica, all living together in doped-up squalor. Adolescence, maturity, responsibility and Reagan-era youth culture collide in this enduring, revealing play by the Oscar-nominated writer of the acclaimed indie drama You Can Count on Me. Now presented at ACME Comedy NoHo as part of the North Hollywood Fringe Festival, This Is Our Youth is a living snapshot of the moment between adolescence and adulthood, when young people first go out into the world armed only with the ideas and techniques they developed as teenagers. They’re far more sophisticated than their parents ever were, yet far more naive than they know.
