One afternoon, Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate Caroline’s door bearing a beat-up copy of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, an urgent assignment from their English teacher. Homebound due to illness, Caroline hasn’t been to school in months, but she is as quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. As these two let down their guards and share their secrets, this seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks a much deeper mystery that has brought them together. I AND YOU is an ode to youth, life, love, and the strange beauty of human connectedness.

“Capital Stage brings the year to a close with another stealth production that, while not explicitly a holiday play, deals with themes of connectedness and grace that are perfect for the season.” – Chris Narloch, OUTWORD MAGAZINE

“I never expected to be so impacted by such a small moment in time. I cannot write enough rave reviews of I AND YOU and, to quote Walt Whitman, there ‘will never be any more perfection than there is now.’” – Montana Lynch, SAC365

“Under Imani Mitchell’s direction, I AND YOU becomes an anthem for friendship, trust, and embracing vulnerability.” – Courtney Symes, BROADWAY WORLD
