YOUTHQUAKE
Devised and directed by Jesse Jou
July 18-26, 11am performances
Parallel 45 continues its dedication to our youngest theatregoers by launching our newest program: YouthQuake. Each year, Parallel 45 invites a nationally-recognized director to devise and direct an entirely new piece of theatre for young audiences in collaboration with the talented members of our apprentice company.
Parallel 45 believes that children are smart, sophisticated and emotionally complex audience members who deserve rich, nuanced material that helps them engage with the complex world around them. We invite children and families of all ages to experience programming that will inspire, encourage critical thinking and - most importantly - spark the imagination.
This year, our program will be heralded by director, Jesse You. Hailing from Houston, Texas, Jesse focuses primarily on new and contemporary plays.
