PLOT SUMMARY

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 (Dramatists Play Service).

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Please Note: Actors age 18+ of all backgrounds and gender identities are encouraged to audition. The role is open to all races and ethnicities. The only essentiality is that the characters not be of the same race*. Race listed below is that of the actor from the original production.

ANTHONY, a boy, 17. He is neat, poised, mature for his age. African American*. He’s an A student, a team player, a nice guy. He’s not really great around girls. He takes his homework very seriously. When he likes something (jazz music) he is all in. Throughout the whole play he looks at Caroline like he’s trying to figure her out. Like he really needs to know who she is.
