The New Kid is a unique and inventive play about a boy named Nick who just moved to America from a different country. It’s his first day of school, and all he wants to do is fit in with the other kids, but Nick doesn’t speak their language or know any of their customs. With the help of a clever theatrical device that makes English the foreign language, the audience sees through Nick’s eyes just how frustrating and scary it can be when you’re the new kid. This award-winning and topical play about the language barrier, cultural diversity and making new friends takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery with Nick, as he finally finds his sense of belonging – and even teaches his new classmates that being different isn’t a bad thing.
