The kids couldn't stop talking about it, because they understood
it and could really relate to it. Besides the laughter, some
teachers were actually moved to tears... We would love to
have this play back next year. Do two if you have to, but
BRING THIS ONE BACK!

In Fall of 2006, we toured...
Script
and songs by Jim Knable
|
|
School audiences, grades 4-12, were moved by the story of 15-year
old Sylvia, a star student on the path to becoming
a doctor when her family moves from their native
Mexico to California. As she plunges into a new
school, culture and language, she worries that
her lifelong goal has moved out of reach. Sylvia's
journey to reclaim her identity will resonate
with students from all backgrounds.
Jim
Knable's Lost
in Words
sparkles with the humor, sensitivity and imagination
that audiences loved in his earlier works for
Playwrights Project,
The Best Mistake
and Hyper-Focus.
Knable is a dramatist and songwriter based in
New York. As a teenager, he was a three-time winner
of the California Young Playwrights Contest, which
launched his writing career. Lost
in Words
is directed by D. Candis Paule and Robert May.
