The New Kid May 12, 2007

'New Kid' is a modern classic about the immigrant experience. It tells the story of a young boy named Nick who leaves the fictitious country of Homeland and comes to America with his parents. He feels isolated and confused by the language and customs of his new land. The playwright puts the audience into Nick's shoes by having the American kids speak in gibberish and forcing the onlooker to learn a strange language and customs along with Nick. Told with humor and bold movement, this unforgettable play challenges everyone to empathize with newcomers to the community and to welcome the new perspectives they bring.
