No Child… is a “master class on heartbreak, humor and hope” and provides a glimpse into a schoolroom where “under-achieving” students are given the opportunity to achieve through the use of drama. It proves that one passionate person can still make a difference! “This off-Broadway show was a breakaway hit and won every award you can name with critics giving it straight A’s.”

“BUZZ” about No Child...

No Child… won the 2007 Outer Critics Circle Award for “Best New American Play”.

“Amazing…Sun is saying Art is a different way, often a better way, to tap into a child’s soul than rote learning. But of course all the art in the world can’t stop a bullet. And Sun doesn’t shy away from the bullets, the abuse and the neglect of inner-city life…While the 70-minute play doesn’t turn into a political lecture, it’s easy to infer that Sun sees a problem in a system that forces schools to drop classes about the arts in favor of standardized testing… One teacher can make all the difference!...” —National Public Radio

“Sun’s undaunted sense of optimism…as a tireless champion of the arts, the next generation and the fate of citizenry at large, is beyond infectious… It doesn’t just make you want to applaud. It makes you want to hold someone accountable for leaving so very many children behind.”—San Jose Mercury News

“Thoroughly gripping… No Child… is a must-see—especially for teachers, who will understand and appreciate this show best of all.”—Chicago Tribune
