THIS IS OUR YOUTH's Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin & Tavi Gevinson Set for TimesTalks, 11/14

Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin and Tavi Gevinson, currently starring on Broadway in the critically acclaimed Steppenwolf production of Kenneth Lonergan's This is Our Youth will appear in their very first "TimesTalks" with New York Times culture reporter Dave Itzkoff, Friday, November 14th at 5:30PM. Cera, Culkin and Gevinson will discuss their work in This is Our Youth, a funny, painful and compassionate snapshot of the moment when young men and women venture into the world on their own. The talk will run from 5:30PM - 6:45 PM. Tickets cost $40 and can be bought from TimesTalks.com.

Set in New York in 1982, This is Our Youth follows forty-eight hours in the lives of three very lost young souls: Warren (Michael Cera), a dejected nineteen year old who has just stolen $15,000 from his abusive, tycoon father; Dennis (Kieran Culkin), his charismatic drug-dealing friend who helps Warren put the stolen money to good use; and Jessica (Tavi Gevinson), the anxiously insightful young woman who Warren yearns for. Funny, painful and compassionate, This is Our Youth is a living snapshot of the moment when many young people go out into the world on their own, armed only with the ideas and techniques they developed as teenagers - far more sophisticated than their parents realize, and far less effectual than they themselves can possibly imagine.

The production, which premiered at the Steppenwolf in Chicago earlier this summer, is directed by Anna D. Shapiro. The limited engagement of This is Our Youth runs through Sunday, January 4, 2015 at the Cort Theatre (138 West 48 Street). Tickets can be purchased online at Telecharge and at the Court Theater box office.
