more about the show

A+ for the art

With No Child…, Nilaja Sun shines a light on the struggles—and miracles—of America’s public schools. In an incredible solo show, she plays an entire classroom of children, their teachers, their parents, the principal, the janitor and even a security guard with a metal detector at the front door. Sun takes on 16 roles in 70 minutes, transforming her eight-year adventure as a teaching artist into a master class on heartbreak, humor and hope. No Child… proves one passionate person can still make a difference, and this off-Broadway show became the breakaway hit of the year. Critics gave it straight A’s, audiences cheered and Sun won every award you can name. It’s a class act, so don’t leave No Child… behind.

A+ for the artist

Nilaja Sun is so bright you can’t look away. She’s been a teaching artist in the New York public school system for eight years while also writing and performing in numerous off-Broadway shows. She received the prestigious Princess Grace Award for theatre in 2003, and has been inundated with prizes for No Child… as it’s toured Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, DC. In Yoruba, her first name—appropriately enough—means “peacemaker.”

A+ for the acclaim

“Teachers are going to love Nilaja Sun’s one-woman show No Child…”—New York Times

“An unexpected, superb achievement. No Child… is about the difference a single human being can make in the kingdom of the damned. No child left behind? Not while Nilaja Sun is around.”—New York Observer

“It’s enough to make the angels weep to watch this caring, committed performance artist recreate her experiences at notoriously bad-news schools…Every kid deserves a teacher like Nilaja Sun.”—Variety
