I AND YOU by Lauren Gunderson & directed by JoAnn Johnson -- OPC Discussion by Deborah Kass, LCSW on JUNE 3, 2018

Two teens – a sick and snarky girl who hates poetry, and a sweet and sporty boy who just wants to get his class work  project done  – are thrust together to work on a school project about Walt Whitman’s poems. Like boxers in a ring, the mismatched pair spar their way through Whitman's epic Song of Myself into an uneasy friendship. With growing urgency and searing poignancy, I and You is a funny, tender and surprising journey about the strange beauty of human connectedness.
