HartBeat Ensemble kicks off its season with WET: A DACAmented Journey. Written and performed by Alex Alpharaoh, WET is an autobiographical story of what it means to be an American in every sense of the word except for one: on paper.
WET captures the desperation that DREAMers feel when considering the very limited options of adjustment of status, by being forced to navigate through a broken U.S. immigration system. The play examines the mental, emotional, and psychological hardship one man has to endure to secure his livelihood in the only home he has known: Los Angeles. PLEASE RELEASE ATTACHED
WET: A DACAmented Journey runs at HartBeat's Carriage House Theater, 360 Farmington Ave., Hartford, CT on Oct. 23 at 7:30pm, only.
HartBeat is partnering with CT Students for a Dream (C4D), a statewide organization of DREAMers and allies that seeks to empower undocumented students and their families by advocating for their rights; and the Hartford Deportation Defense, a migrant-led community defense and mutual aid collective of neighbors in the Hartford area. C4D will lead Act Too!, a post-performance public forum that is part of C4D's #LIVEUNAFRAID Week of Action.
Tickets are $15 general admission. For tickets, visit hartbeatenemble.org or call 860-548-9144.
