This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing

Performer

In 2015 I traveled with an ensemble of U.S. actors to Prague, Czech Republic to collaborate with the Prague Youth Theatre (PYT) on a production of Finnegan Kruckemeyer’s This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing. Inspired by how Kruckemeyer’s poetic epic sews together stories that branch across time, place, and age, we worked with two young performers from PYT for this production.

How might we involve young people as integral collaborative artists when making Theatre for Young Audiences?
