LET’S TALK
Join us for a post-show TALKBACK with the cast, moderated by MCC staff, in this event to provoke conversation and public engagement.
CAST TALKBACK
FRI, APR 17
The atmosphere is collapsing. The clock is ticking down to zero. And the youth of New York City have decided to throw one final, unapologetic party before the lights go out. UNCENSORED: NO NEED TO OVERTHINK IT isn’t a polite play about teenagers, it is a fierce, funny, and explosive original work devised by the 16 artists of the 2026 MCC Youth Company Performance Lab Ensemble. Together, they have transformed the end of the world into a visceral celebration of love, resilience, joy, and raw, unfiltered truth. You’re on the guest list. Come witness a generation reclaim the narrative, confront the chaos of tomorrow, and dance brilliantly at the edge of the abyss.
ABOUT UNCENSORED
Young artists from high schools across New York City, led by lead collaborator KAREEM M LUCAS, explore writing, devising, movement, and design exercises in biweekly workshops to develop original content that elevates the ideas and experiences that reflect their world. Performance Lab culminates in the annual production of UNCENSORED at The Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space. Tix are free.
