Casting has been set for the American premiere of Gob Squad’s Before Your Very Eyes. As previously reported, the production from the acclaimed theater collective will begin previews on October 17 and run through November 29.

Created over the course of the past two years with 9-14 year olds from around New York City, from behind the safety of one-way mirrors, the audience witnesses seven lives lived in fast forward, from angst-ridden teens to hunched geriatrics. As the children peer into the future and nostalgically back at their recent past, they prepare to leave childhood behind forever.
Before Your Very Eyes features video system design by Gob Squad and Shawn Duan; and performance coaching by Bridget Kelso.
