Set in and around a makeshift shelter, the moving, hip-hop musical The Children dramatizes a teenage boy’s search for a place to belong after escaping his fraught home. Lost and alone in New York City, he discovers a restless tribe of young people defying a world that refuses to let them be themselves. The contemporary musical upends perceptions of family and celebrates community in the most unlikely of places.
