Part recess, part ritual, part recruitment, Skinnamarink is Little Lord's absurd and vicious take on education and indoctrination in America.​

Skinnamarink is based on “McGuffey's Eclectic Readers,” a series of American schoolbooks used to teach children how to read from the 1830s to today (yes, to today). Pre-dating the pastel-colored/everybody-happy world of "Dick and Jane," these brutal little books helped shaped the minds and behaviors of Americans for generations.  ​The simple, rich language of these primers and their blatantly moralistic underpinnings launched us to question our current mess of American belief-systems: How were you taught to read? To think? To behave? How were you punished? What is your relationship to authority? To discipline? To shame? ​

Transforming New York Theatre Workshop’s 4th Street Theatre into our own little one-room schoolhouse of horrors, Skinnamarink questions what kind of people are the most useful in society...and how we handle the rest.
