Faces of Freedom

Cynthia Mercati

4.9/5 (18121 ratings)

Description:This a one act play for at least five men and five women doubling characters or for even more actors.From the back of the book: "Faces of Freedom" is a vivid theatrical experience, using both an ensemble and monologues to tell the true stories of the young immigrants of today and yesterday. Moving fluidly from past to present and back again, the play interweaves Maria's journey to America in 1907 with Tron's escape from death and imprisonment as a Vietnamese boat person in 1978. Against this backdrop, we meet the newest immigrants: Halima, whose family fled the Taliban, and Vida, who is trying to find the courage to cross the first city street she has ever seen. We get to know Juana, whose fast-food counter is her passport to a better world, and Carlos, whose skill with a soccer ball is his entry into a new school. Luis and Elena, a sister and brother from Mexico, are each inventing their own ways to cope with a suddenly unfamiliar life, while Semir, a young Bosnian boy, can only find peace of mind at Dunkin' Donuts. In seeing their stories, we see reflected our family's story of coming to America, and we learn--perhaps for the firs time--the story of our newest neighbors, all of different cultures, facing risks and challenges, yet all of us united in our search for freedom. All of us Americans.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
