MYT is thrilled to collaborate with the great writer and poet,Gary Soto, on a new play about undocumented teenagers. This important issue touches all of us—from teenagers whose dreams are stymied by immigration status, to documented friends and families. Under the guidance of Director Cliff Mayotte, MYT Teen Troupe interviewed dozens of undocumented peers throughout the community, whose stories are incorporated  in Soto’s script.

This incredible collaboration between MYT and world-class author Gary Soto is an important new work of theater for social justice full of humor, passion and hope.
