PRESENT PERFECT - A young Hasidic woman steps outside the confines of her Brooklyn community and finds herself as much an immigrant in a new land as the recently arrived students she teaches in her New York adult English class. Lives intertwine as each in their own way struggles to belong, find love, and succeed in a new country. Present Perfect is a uniquely American story told with a contemporary twist, infectious vitality, and a Latin beat.

Sarah Chana Aberman: Female (Lead) 25 – 32 vocal range: Soprano A3 – A5; A young Hasidic Jewish woman has one foot in, one foot out of her sheltered Hasidic community in Brooklyn and finds herself as much an immigrant in a new world as her students she is teaching.

Tariq Male (Supporting) 18 – 28 vocal range: Tenor Tenor A2 – G4; A young Syrian gay man in his early twenties has aspirations to be a rap star.

Gloria Female (Supporting) 40 – 50 vocal range: Mezzo G3 – F5; a Dominican woman in her forties, a young grandmother; inventive in finding ways to support her family after her husband becomes ill, and she becomes the breadwinner.

Ossie Male (Supporting) 20 – 30 vocal range: Tenor C3 – C5 Falsetto; young man in his early twenties provides an irreverence and humor which energizes the classroom.
