People behind the production
This Is Our Youth is a defining stage work from Kenneth Lonergan that captures a tense, transformative 48-hour arc in Reagan-era New York City. The narrative follows three young adults navigating ambition, disillusionment, and the costs of growing up in a city that’s both alluring and unforgiving. The original play debuted in 1996, and its Broadway revival (2014–2015) brought renewed energy with performances by Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin, and Tavi Gevinson. The score for the revival was crafted by Rostam Batmanglij, enhancing the intimate, late-20th-century atmosphere. In 2015, This Is Our Youth earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Revival of a Play, underscoring its enduring relevance and sharp, witty dialogue. The show remains a staple for contemporary theater lovers and a touchstone for conversations about youth, privilege, and responsibility.
