HUNTING FOR EWOKS

Imagine an America in which you can only become a citizen of the United States if you are born of an American; you cannot apply for citizenship and the border is guarded more heavily than ever. In the current political climate, this fantasy looks more and more like a possible reality. Hunting for Ewoks takes place in the near future where Donald Trump's version of America is realized; citizenship is a birthright. In Hunting for Ewoks, we follow a Latin American sheriff who is now obligated to enforce these laws on his own people. Can a sheriff who has his roots in Latin America enforce the closed border to the very immigrants that his own family used to be? Funny, brutally honest and tragic, we journey into this America to see if we can survive as a nation of non-immigrants. The play is based on real stories from an Arizona Sheriff and real life experiences of immigrants attempting to cross the boarder.

Unbeknownst to them, the second shooter is actually in the very room they are hiding in. The 8 students vividly live through the moments before the fatal incident as the identity of the second shooter changes every night. The play unfolds as neither the actors nor the audience will know who the shooter is until the fatal moment. With 8 possible endings, the uncertainty of who will live and who will die makes for P. S. 357 a gripping and tragic tale of our youth. All the multiple endings of the play are taken from real life scenraios from real shootings that have happened in the United States.
