“The word crazy comes from crack, as in broken. I think to immigrate is to break yourself in half.”

Maia will stop at nothing to be in the American movies, even if it means losing her mind. Following the fraught journey of an Argentinean actor as she tests the limits of her American dream, Invasive Species is an outrageous true story about lying to live, living to lie and how immigrating to the US might just be the role of a lifetime.

After a sold-out run last June, Invasive Species returns for its Off Broadway premiere. Directed by Pulitzer finalist Michael Breslin and executive produced by Jeremy O. Harris, Invasive Species is a visiting engagement at The Vineyard’s Dimson Theatre.
