A play by Lauren GundersonDirected by Bert GoldsteinA Wharton Center Theatre ProductionOne afternoon, Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate Carolines door bearing a beat-up copy of Walt Whitmans Leaves of Grass, with an urgent assignment from their English teacher. Homebound, Caroline hasnt been to school in months, but she is as quick and funny as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. As these two let down their guards and share their secrets, this poetry project unlocks the deep mystery that has brought them together. I and You is a funny and touching ode to youth, life, love, and the strange beauty of human connectedness.
