On Sunday, January 10th, following the Youth Onstage! matinee performance of The Work/Play, Ellen Galinsky, President of The Families and Work Institute and author of the forthcoming Mind in the Making, Daniel Banks, Ph.D, theatre director, choreographer, and educator who has performed and taught theatre internationally from Europe to Africa to Israel and the West Bank, and Dan Friedman, dramaturg of the Castillo Theatre and the artistic director of Youth Onstage! participated in a Culture Talk moderated by Carolyn Kresky, three-time Emmy Award winning broadcast journalist.
Ms. Galinsky wrote an op-ed on education featuring a scene from the play which appeared in Friday, January 15's "Huffington Post."
The funny and powerful original new work, The Work/Play, grows out of an exploration by the young cast of work and play, and how they co-exist (or don't) in our lives.
