UAA Theatre: New Kid Friday, Jan. 25, 6:30 p.m. | Saturday, Jan. 26, noon
Nick, a young boy from the country called "Homeland," moves to Alaska with his family. Nick struggles with his fears of a new culture and being in a place where he is unable to communicate in the language of his fellow students. His frustration is portrayed using a clever theatrical approach: Nick and his family speak English, while all the Alaskans speak gibberish.
In this play the spirit of youth prevails over differences in color and culture. Promoting the message that, in the end, kids are all the same inside.
New Kid, written by Dennis Foon, is perfect for both children and parents. This play is geared toward children aged 6 to 13 years old-and the young at heart.
