Based on Helen Thorpe's bestselling book, this documentary-style play follows four Latina teenage girls in Denver - two of who are documented and two who are not - through young adulthood. Their close-knit friendships begin to unravel when immigration status dictates the girls' opportunities or lack thereof. When a political firestorm arises, each girl's future becomes increasingly complicated. "Just Like Us" poses difficult yet essential questions about what makes us American.
"Just Like Us" is written by Karen Zacaríus and directed by Grossmont College Theatre Arts faculty member Walter Allen Bennett.
