"A Teaching Moment in 'No Child'"

A feature on playwright and actress Nilaja Sun and her one-woman show, No Child.

Jesse Green was an amazing coach on this piece. He warned me that news-y articles like these were a lot like jigsaw puzzles, where you spend all your time pushing little bits of information into place--a very apt description.

Also, Nilaja Sun is super nice. Months after this, I was picking up tickets for an oak tree at the theater where No Child was playing in rep, and when she heard me she was like, "NINA RASTOGI?" and came climbing over the hapless box office guy to say hello.
