He never saw an unexpected turn coming from a blind spot that would transform his life into a bitter awakening. Performed in Spanish with English subtitles via Simultext® In-Seat Captioning System by request at matinee performances.

Extremely intense, Absorbing / engrossing, Excellent acting, Very resonant, Very relevant

See it if intense REAL drama gets you fired-up. Haven't seen such EXCELLENT ensemble acting in a small one-act play in AGES. Very real & very intense.

Don't see it if you can't handle the truth. I bitch A LOT about disliking no-intermissions but these 75min of HEAVY emotions will stay with you for a while. Read more

Critic Reviews (1)

"A poignant depiction of how strongly the military and immigration are in fact linked—and the bleak outcomes that many immigrant service men and women are forced to confront...The play might not leave you feeling warm and fuzzy, but it will leave you with a crucial and thought-provoking message that needs to be heard...Don’t miss it—its message is something that we can’t afford to stay blind to."
