Seed</i> is pure gothic Americana reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe, the Twilight

Sun is an 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. Talented actor Nina Domingue plays 16 characters in this funny
and moving work, including teachers, students, parents, administrators,
janitors and security guards. Created in response to No Child Left Behind, <i>No
Child...</i> highlights how one determined woman can change the lives of
countless others and exposes the inequity of the American public school system.
