New Kid

Description

Engage in a constructive discussion about respect and tolerance with this unique depiction of an immigrant family from a fictitious place called “Homeland.” When the family arrives in America, they discover a new culture and unexpected prejudice against Homelanders. New Kid cleverly shows Homelanders speaking English while the Americans speak a made-up gibberish language, allowing students to understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by a new language and new customs. This program can be the necessary spark for a conversation with students about moving to a new place, being the outsider, and making and keeping friends.

Both poignant and funny, this play is an international favorite and has been performed world-wide. New Kid is winner of the Reuters Festival Choice Award for Best Children’s Production at the 1997 Dublin Theatre Festival.

Available September 26, 2018 through April 6, 2019.
