Live From Lviv: Ukrainian Kids Bring a Play to Brooklyn

AMERICAN THEATRE: Last week at Brooklyn’s Irondale, in a cavernous auditorium that was once a Presbyterian Sunday school building, a group of girls and a few adults ran through tech rehearsal for a show called Mom on Skype, in preparation for a limited run over the weekend, Aug. 13-14. The girls acted like typical tweens and teens in a punchy mid-afternoon slump at theatre camp: They lolled and flitted about the space, chatting and laughing, occasionally breaking into spontaneous song—including a spirited rendition of the viral hit “Numa Numa” (“Ma-ia hii! Ma-ia huu!”).
