Beto's Interview

By Julio Lourido

Tuesday, August 5th
7:30pm

On November 7, 2024, Alberto Camargo, an Ecuadorian immigrant, attends his naturalization interview conducted by Jamaican American immigration officer Mitch Johnson. Johnson, who previously served in the army for 30 years before taking on this role, presides over the tense and personal encounter. During the interview, Mitch questions Alberto about his past, motivations, and social issues. As the conversation unfolds, themes of identity, trauma related to the immigrant experience, and the privileges of U.S. citizenship emerge. “Beto’s Interview,” based on a true story, challenges the idealized notion of the American Dream by exploring the complexities of immigration and the psychological dynamics between two immigrants from different backgrounds.

Book Club

By Francesca Bolam

Wednesday, August 6th
7:30pm

 

Five women meet for a book club. Did anybody read the book? Someone’s cheating. Someone’s going broke pretending to be ethical. Someone’s about to scream. Set in one Brooklyn living room over one messy night, "Book Club" is a dark comedy about female friendship, curated lives, and the quiet violence of pretending you’re fine.

Overlap

By Erin Proctor

Thursday, August 7th

A tragic rom-com about theatre-makers thwarted by the infrastructure of the MTA, we follow two twenty-somethings as they navigate minimum wage jobs, blowjobs, mommy issues, grief, and producing theatre from beyond the grave.

My Brother Jake

By Dave Osmundsen

Friday, August 8th

Jake Barnsley is an Autistic theatre artist who has managed to have an “inspiring” career. Ethan, his higher-needs twin brother, has lived in his shadow their whole lives.

Not Our Home, Not Our Home

By Ned Du

Saturday, August 9th
7:30pm

7:30pm

In this surreal drama-comedy, two Taiwanese-American brothers return to Taipei for Chinese New Year, carrying baggage both literal and emotional—including the ashes of a childhood cat. Set against political tension and ancestral ritual, Not Our Home, Not Our Home explores the costs of immigration, the ache of cultural dissonance, and the ghosts we carry across generations. Laced with dark humor, horror elements, and underscored by a lush original score, this play blurs the line between memory and myth, asking: What do we owe the places we leave behind—and the people we become?
