An amazing showcase of art imitating life, as we see how current events affect the lives of Americans and immigrants alike. Laugh-out-loud funny at times, with moments that tug at your heartstrings for how close to home it feels. A tear-jerker for sure, but I never felt so supported and seen.

This show is highly recommended! ...
