America is a story that we keep telling. Until it comes true.
It’s 2018. Immigration crackdowns. Family separation. Life is scary for immigrants in the U.S. But 15-year-old Ysabella Martinez hits town with stars in her eyes, ready to conquer New York and win fame and fortune as an influencer. She joins an after school program for fellow immigrants from all over the world, finds a prickly new best friend in NYC-born Emma and begins to build her new life. But when ICE detains her and her family, she and her new friends discover that America is nothing like they thought it was. Presented by TADA! Youth Theater.
