3/2 & 3 – Arizona Premiere of Tara’s Crossing
By jeff | April 9, 2012
Tara’s Crossing
In Tara’s Crossing, a play by Emmy nominated writer Jeffrey Solomon, a transgendered woman flees Guyana for asylum in the United States, only to end up in a government detention center, facing an uphill battle to prove her claims of persecution. The play is one of the first ever to deal with the subject of political asylum for gay, lesbian, bi and transgendered refugees, a remedy that has been available in the United States only since 1994 and was inspired by dozens of interviews with sexual minority asylum seekers from around the world conducted in New York, Washington D.C. and San Francisco.

Puffin Presents “De Novo,” a True Story of Undocumented Youth in the U.S. Immigration System
Teaneck, NJ, Saturday, November 18 – “De Novo”, a new play from Houses on the Moon Theater Company, tells the true story of Edgar Chocoy and his harrowing experience through the U.S. immigration system. In 2002, fourteen-year-old Edgar escapes his barrio in Guatemala City when MS-13, the largest gang in Central America, puts out a hit on his life. He travels over 3,000 miles through the desert and across borders of three countries in search of his mother, who had left him as a baby to work in the United States. Eventually detained by the Department of Homeland Security, Edgar pleads for asylum, asking the Federal Court not to deport him to Guatemala where he faces certain death by the MS-13. “De Novo” weaves together immigration court transcripts, letters and extensive interviews with children in immigration proceedings across New York, Arizona and Los Angeles to tell this timely social narrative. The production is augmented with poignant images from award-winning photojournalist Donna Decesare, who is widely known for her coverage of gangs in Central America and Los Angeles. $10.00 suggested donation. Reservations recommended: tix@puffinfoundation.org. Friday, November 18, 8:00 p.m. The Puffin Cultural Forum is at 20 Puffin Way (off Teaneck Rd.) in Teaneck, NJ.
