A children's theatre production titled New Kid toured local schools this past fall, tackling tough topics like bullying, immigration and racism. And now it is the community's chance to see this fun, unexpected and engaging play.
The story centers around Nick, a young boy from a country called "Homeland" who moves to Alaska with his family. Nick struggles with his fears of a new culture and being in a place where he is unable to communicate in the language of his fellow students. His frustration is portrayed using a clever theatrical approach: Nick and his family speak English, while all the Alaskans speak gibberish.
On Jan. 26, there will be a reception to follow in the Harper Studio, Room 129.
