  In Nalaja Sun’s remarkable, often riotously funny solo show, No Child, PURE core ensemble member Joy Vandervort-Cobb tackles more than 16 characters as a new drama teacher in a chaotic Bronx classroom of 10th graders. Based on the playwright’s first-hand experiences in some of New York City’s toughest schools, No Child is a lightening-paced, buoyant play “tethered by the cold, sobering realities of life.” (The New York Times)
