About the Show

A professor's life changes when he discovers two undocumented immigrants living in his apartment.

Based on the 2007 indie film, this new musical from award-winning creatives Tom Kitt, Brian Yorkey, and Kwame Kwei-Armah returns to The Public after its 2020 postponement. Widowed college professor Walter has lost his sense of purpose until he finds two young undocumented immigrants living in his home. Suddenly, Walter finds himself in the middle of their battle to stay in an America that’s lost its better angels. TONY winner Daniel Sullivan (The Little Foxes, Proof, Shakespeare In The Park's Coriolanus) directs the world premiere production.
