Pulitzer Prize winner Martyna Majok delivers a powerful tale of two young DREAMers fighting for their place in the only home they've ever known. The cast features the fresh faces of BTE's newest talents, Kimie Muroya, and our Theatremaker Apprentices. Bloomsburg native and BTE Emerging Artist Initiative Fellow, Dante Green, returns to direct this beautiful and heartbreaking play.
With poignant and timely storytelling, Majok's play explores the profound sacrifices and unwavering friendship between these characters, highlighting the stakes they face when risking everything for each other. What love is, and can ever mean, is lost in the muddle between the heart and the law.
