All We Need Is Us
By James Anthony Tyler
Directed by Jonathan Silverstein
Premiered March 26, 2021
It’s Summer 2020, and the pandemic is raging through New York City. Eviction is looming for Lymere and Halen and their first baby is on its way. All We Need Is Us is an intimate look at unprecedented times, and a hopeful reminder that at the end of the day we can at least rely on each other.
James Anthony Tyler is the recipient of the 3rd Annual Horton Foote Playwriting Award and an inaugural playwright to receive a commission from Audible. His plays include Artney Jackson, Some Old Black Man, and Dolphins and Sharks. Tyler’s one-act play Around 2 was commissioned and premiered during The Keen Teens Festival of New Work in 2018, which culminates Keen Company’s unique education program.
