On the Fyda-Mar Stage… Alma and her daughter, Angel, made sixteen wishes long ago: good health, love, carne asada every day, perfect SAT scores, and a spot at UC Davis, to name a few. But now that Angel is 17, she’s got a different vision for her future than her immigrant single mom. Featuring the powerfully fresh voice of playwright Benjamin Benne, winner of the National Latinx Playwriting Award, Alma is a poetic, funny, and timely play filled with lots of amor and a touch of symbolism. It begs the question: what does the American Dream mean today—and who does it belong to? “Universally relatable mother-daughter drama…poignant and relevant. A family drama full of tenderness and hope” Chicago Tribune “Benne knows how to serve up the sweet, the savory and the bitter, blending the flavors of real family life well to give us a full meal, depicting the bond of love under duress” New Haven Review “Benne distills the legion of issues densely packed into any discussion of immigration and documentation into a relatable mother-daughter relationship” Chicago Reader “Powerful! This is a love story between a mother and her daughter, and that works in any language.” Chicago Onstage Executive Producers Steven & Louise Koch Associate Producer Laurie Smits Staude Season Producers Bette & Wylie Aitken Associate Season Producer The Family of Mary Kay Fyda-Mar
