I and You

Posted in: Theatre

One afternoon, Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate Caroline’s door bearing a beat-up copy of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, an urgent assignment from their English teacher. Homebound due to illness, Caroline hasn’t been to school in months, but she is as quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. As these two let down their guards and share their secrets, this seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks a much deeper mystery that has brought them together. An ode to youth, life, love, and the strange beauty of human connectedness by playwright Lauren Gunderson. Pit & Balcony Community Theatre, 805 N. Hamilton St., Saginaw. Phone 989-754-6587. Starts at 8:30 PM.
