Just Like Us

Based on Helen Thorpe’s bestselling book, this play follows four Latina 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 legal status becomes increasingly desperate. Just Like Us poses difficult, yet essential questions such as what makes us American?
