When B learns that his mother will return to her country of origin, these two young people must fight like hell to establish a place for themselves and each other in America. “I have rarely seen a play that so effectively embodies the way external forces – in this case, immigration policies in the United States – distort the inner lives of actual humans. What love is, and can ever mean, is lost in the muddle between the heart and the law.” – New York Times.

November 4-27, 2022     (Single tickets: $22)

Directed by Carla Milarch. Featuring Jose Martinez-Chavarria*Marie Muhammad, and Mike Sandusky (DJ Whittington’s Kool Kat).
