This Is Our Youth March 18, 2009

In 1982, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, three pot-smoking teenagers are resoundingly rejecting the 1960s ideals of their affluent parents. In hilarious and bittersweet detail, "This Is Our Youth" follows 48 turbulent hours in the lives of three very lost souls at the dawn of the Reagan Era. Starring original New York cast members Mark Ruffalo, Josh Hamilton and Missy Yager in the roles that launched their careers, all performances are recorded to air on LATW's syndicated radio theater series, "The Play's The Thing," which broadcasts weekly on public radio stations nationwide.
