Set in New York in 1982, This Is Our Youth follows 48 hours in the lives of three very lost young souls: Warren, a dejected 19-year-old who has just stolen $15,000 from his abusive, tycoon father; Dennis, his charismatic, drug-dealing friend who helps Warren put the stolen money to good use; and Jessica, the anxiously insightful young woman for whom Warren yearns.
This Is Our Youth starred Michael Cera as Warren Straub, Kieran Culkin as Dennis Ziegler, and Tavi Gevinson as Jessica Goldman, marking the trio's Broadway debut. Roudning out the company were Nick Lehane and Elise Kibler as understudies.
The revival featured scenic design by Tony winner Todd Rosenthal, costume design by Tony winner Ann Roth, lighting design by Tony winner Brian MacDevitt, sound design by Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen, and original music by Rostam Batmanjlij with stage management by Cambra Overend and Kathryn L. McKee. For the complete cast and creative team, visit PlaybillVault.com/ThisIsOurYouth.
