by Karen Zacarias

 

Based on Helen Thorpe’s bestselling book, this documentary-style play follows four Latina teenage girls in Denver�"two of whom are documented and two who are not�"through young adulthood. Their close-knit friendships begin to unravel when immigration status dictates the girls’ opportunities, or lack thereof. When a political firestorm arises, each girl’s future becomes increasingly complicated. Just Like Us poses difficult, yet essential questions about what makes us American.
