Be reminded of the essential nature of friendship in the first Poly Arts production of the year, Upper School (Grade 9 and 10)’s Fall Play, Bart & Arnie. Together, we follow the story of two pals whose names evoke the joyful memories of their iconic muppet counterparts from the beloved television series Sesame Street while introducing us to a novel, unexpected plot. In this brand-new play by Adam Szymkowicz, life-long friendship takes on the highs and lows of life in the city. Syzmkowicz’s plays have been produced internationally throughout the U.S., Canada, The Netherlands, New Zealand, among others. Reviews of his work describe him as “perceptive, sharp, and brilliant.” Experience a full spectrum of emotions—from wonder, excitement, to existential dread—as Grade 9 and 10 students light up the Richard Perry stage with memorable performances.
