DREAMers. Love(r)s. Life-long friends. Negotiating the promise of safety and the weight of responsibility, they’ll fight like hell to establish a place for themselves and each other in America.
2018 Pulitzer Prize winner, NYTW Usual Suspect and former 2050 Fellow Martyna Majok brings us an unforgettable story that asks what we’re willing to sacrifice for someone we love. Rebecca Frecknall, director of the 2019 Olivier Award-winning Summer and Smoke, helms the highly anticipated production which returns to the stage after performances were halted in March 2020. 

COVID Safety Information: 
In compliance with NY City guidelines, all attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination. Masks are required at all times inside the building and theatre. For up-to-date information about our COVID policies & reopening plan, please visit New York Theatre Workshop's website.
