www.jsnyc.com "Generation (bu)Y" aims to to raise awareness of the effects of marketing and advertising to children. WHERE AND WHEN: May 6 to 16, 2010 Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, NYC Presented by Theater for the New City Thursdays through Saturdays at 8:00 pm; Sundays at 3:00 pm Tickets: Adults $15; Seniors, Teachers and Students $5 Box office/info (212) 254-1109. Online ticketing: www.theaterforthenewcity.net NEW YORK, March 23 -- "Generation (bu)Y" explains our slavery to marketing from the mouths of babes. Conceived and directed by Philip Suraci, the play will be written and performed by a young ensemble of 18 (ages 11 to 13) plus 3 adult actors, to be seen by an audience of both adults and children over the age of 10. The intent of the production is to raise awareness of the effects of and spur reflection upon marketing and advertising to children. Adults will be asked to think about the future they will create by regarding children as consumers and our culture’s relentless materialism. "Generation (bu)Y" examines strategies used by marketers such as the belittlement of parents and adults (parent/child alienation) and the exploitation of child needs of acceptance by peers.
