Alina Șerban’s Revelatory "The Best Child in The World" Comes to New York

Written and directed by thespian and film-maker Alina Șerban, one of Romania’s foremost young performers, "The Best Child in The World" is the first show by an author from the Roma minority to enter the permanent repertoire of The National Theatre of Bucharest. Based on Alina’s own experiences, the one-woman show follows the coming-of-age story of a Roma girl who fights to overcome racism and discrimination, managing to succeed in an unwelcoming world as a powerful woman who has learned how to embrace her identity and make peace with her past. The show will be presented at the Romanian Cultural Institute on June 15 as part of the Romanian American Studio Theater program and at the Rehearsal for Truth Festival at Bohemian National Hall, with two additional one-off performances at Jersey City Theater Center and ROCO Chicago.

Alina Șerban is the winner of Best Actress Award at the German Actors Guild…
