DREAMers: An (Un)Documentary Play
Developed with The Civilians Education Department in partnership with Make The Road New York
Written and directed by Adam Odsess-Rubin
DREAMers explores freedom, oppression, and identity as undocumented youth respond to the announcement of President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Created from interviews conducted in 2012 with six young Dreamers in New York City, the play cuts through the news headlines to celebrate immigrants' real stories of pain and hope using the power of theater.
