This Is Our Youth

In the Upper West Side of Reagan Era New York City three young adults must navigate the uncertainty of impending adulthood and the realities of the world in which they live. Amidst a backdrop of drugs, "get rich quick" schemes, and the pressure to be cool, Kenneth Lonergan's This Is Our Youth is a moving, shrewdly humorous, and bittersweet look at the struggles of young adulthood, identity, our desire for true connection, and the inevitable chaos of the coming-of-age moments we all experience.

Auditions

Dennis Ziegler (21, Male) - Charismatic, dynamic, and domineering; Dennis is a small-time drug dealer and a bully. Desperately clinging to the last vestiges of power from his days as "a dark cult god of high school".

Warren Straub (19, Male) - A thoughtful and dispirited young man, Warren is prone to bouts of self-destructiveness. Magnetically drawn to Dennis' persona, Warren struggles with his sense of self-possession and his desire to become more than what he currently is.

Jessica Goldman (19, Female) - A self-conscious but insightful young fashion student. Jessica approaches the world with a kind of defensiveness that projects the image of independence and self-assurance she would like to be perceived as.
