SEEKING

Equity stage managers for PUBLIC CHARGE.

SYNOPSIS

In 1982, seven-year-old Julissa emigrates to the U.S. from the Dominican Republic. In 2009, she leaves her successful practice at a Wall Street law firm to become Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere.

PUBLIC CHARGE chronicles the challenging education of a twenty-first century American diplomat as she works to deploy humanitarian aid to an earthquake-ravaged Haiti, is charged with the release and transfer of Guantanamo detainees, confronts the reality of international espionage, and strives to release a USAID worker from a Cuban prison. This bracing world premiere by former United States Ambassador Julissa Reynoso and award-winning playwright Michael J. Chepiga is, at its core, about a group of Americans who believe, sometimes against all appearances to the contrary, that their government might actually be a force for good upon the frighteningly chaotic world stage.
