ALMA
WORLD PREMIERE
Written by: Benjamin Benne
Directed by: Ana Velazquez
Winner of 2019 Blue Ink Playwriting Award. Working mom Alma has single-handedly raised her daughter, Angel, on tough love, home-cooked comida, and lots of prayers. But on the eve of the all-important SAT, Alma discovers her daughter isn’t at home studying. A sacrifice from Alma’s past weighs heavy on their present; now, Alma fears her worst nightmare may soon be their reality. Will the American Dream cost them a life together? To learn more, read our Artistic Director’s note (coming soon) and Backstage Guide (coming soon).
