Nilaja Sun's No Child... to Close 6/3, Prior to Cross-Country Tour

No Child..., Nilaja Sun's acclaimed solo show, will give its final off-Broadway performance on June 3 at the Barrow Street Theatre. Sun will then take the show to Tanzania under the auspices of the International Theatre and Literacy Project, followed by engagements in cities across America, including Boston, Chicago and Washington, DC, with additional bookings on the West Coast scheduled throughout the 2007-2008 season. At the conclusion of the show's off-Broadway run, Sun will have played more than 300 performances.

No Child... began as part of Epic Theatre Center's 2005-2006 season on Theatre Row, directed by Hal Brooks. An instant hit, it transferred to the Barrow Street Theatre in July 2006 where it has been playing to enthusiastic crowds, including thousands of high school students and educators.

Based on her experiences as a teaching artist at high schools in the South Bronx where she dared to stage Timberlake Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good, No Child... features Sun playing a variety of characters, including students, teachers, administrators, and herself. The play has been nominated for a 2007 Lucille Lortel Award as Best Solo Production and won the Jury Award at the recent U.S. Comedy Arts Festival.
