THE PLAY: <i><span style='font-style:italic'>No Child...</span></i> is the
award-winning one woman show based on Sun's experiences teaching at Malcolm X
High School in the Bronx, where every day students struggle simply to come to
school. One actor plays dozens of characters in this solo show, including
teachers, students, parents, administrators, janitors and security guards. Created
in response to No Child Left Behind, this exciting new work highlights how one
determined woman can change the lives of countless others and exposes the
inequity of the American public school system.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
