Following its 12-month, sold-out New York run and a major American tour, Stanford Drama and Blackstage Theater Co. present Nilaja Sun’s OBIE Award-winning No Child…

Inspired by Sun’s years as a teaching artist at high schools in the Bronx, this tour de force is an insightful and often hilarious look into New York City’s public education system. Her lightning-quick portrayals of the many characters inhabiting the city’s school structure – including teachers, students, parents, administrators, janitors and security guards – provide a touching and humorous examination of the universal challenges facing education everywhere. Offering hope and belief in a better, more caring society, this multi-award winning production is a highly original and inspiring work from an extraordinary performer.

"Astounding. Sun brings us not her world but the world. By showing us how the other half lives, an object lesson in what should not be missing from any life curriculum: hope." —The New Yorker.

"Marvelous…Touching and funny." —The New York Times.

**Please be advised that there is no late seating for this production.
