Nilaja Sun's No Child at the Kirk Douglas Theatre

Writer/performer Nilaja Sun and director Hal Brooks discuss their show "No Child," playing at the Kirk Douglas Theatre through April 13.

When No Child... opened at a tiny off-Broadway theatre, word quickly spread about Nilaja Sun's galvanizing performance in her true-to-life play set in a New York City high school. With lighting-quick reflexes and startling energy, Sun unlocks the potential of her wayward students, inspiring them to transcend their surroundings and dream of something beyond the metal detectors at the door.

Called "theatrically riveting" by Variety, No Child... is an exuberant, thoroughly funny piece about the collaborative power of the arts — and the influence one dynamic, determined teacher can have in altering the lives of her students.

Saw her do this in New York. Was one of the most affecting nights (or days, I think) I've experienced in the theatre.

Ms. Sun were you a dancer at some point in your life? You have such control over your body as you portray all the characters. Beautifully done! Excellent theatre! Thank you.

One of the most overhyped shows off-Broadway. I don't understand the appeal of this show or Sun's acting for that matter.

This was one of the most exciting and moving shows I've ever seen.
