Re-examining the American Dream: "America Adjacent"

You'll laugh while your heart is breaking. In "America Adjacent", a story about the pursuit of the American Dream, six pregnant Filipina women risk everything. Confined to a one-bedroom, one-bath unit in Hollywood, the women do their best to overcome fears of jail and deportation so that their children can have a better life. Playwright Boni B. Alvarez examines the promise of U.S. citizenship and asks, “How far would you go to give your child a future?” Written by Boni B. Alvarez and directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera, "America Adjacent" now comes to the stage of Los Angeles’ Skylight Theatre.
