About the Show
Based on Julia Alvarez's critically acclaimed best-selling novel, playwright Karen Zacarías follows four sisters who emigrate from the Dominican Republic to New York in 1960 and must adjust to a new life and culture. The play spans thirty years, exploring themes of acculturation and coming of age while depicting the hardships of immigration, the sense of displacement, and the confusion of identity as the García family is uprooted and forced to begin anew.
