“I and You” is the final play in Wharton Center’s Illuminate Series this season. This limited-engagement will be presented at 8 p.m. on March 22 and 1 p.m. on March 24 in the Pasant Theatre at the Wharton Center. There will be an after chat with the actors immediately following the March 22 performance.
One afternoon, Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate Caroline’s door bearing a beat-up copy of Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass,” with an urgent assignment from their English teacher. Homebound, Caroline hasn’t been to school in months, but she is as quick and funny as Anthony is athletic, sensitive and popular. As these two let down their guards and share their secrets, this poetry project unlocks the deep mystery that has brought them together.
“I and You” is a funny and touching ode to youth, life, love and the strange beauty of human connectedness with an eye-popping, heart pounding and totally unexpected ending.
“I and You” is a play by prolific playwright Lauren Gunderson and is spellbinding, winning a Steinberg/ATCA New Play Award in 2014.
Tickets are available at the official source to purchase Wharton Center tickets online, at the Auto-Owners Insurance Ticket Office or by calling 1-800-WHARTON.
