Carpenter Square Theatre Presents ALIENS WITH EXTRAORDINARY SKILLS, 2/24-3/17

Carpenter Square Theatre Presents Aliens With Extraordinary Skills, a comedy-drama by Saviana Stanescu from February 24 - March 17, 2012.

Based on true stories of immigration, the subject is explored and fictionalized by a playwright who tries to understand her own story. The moral of the "fable" might be that - regardless of our passport and native language - we are all "aliens" in search for love, understanding and a place to call "home".

A clown from the "unhappiest country in the world", Moldova, pins her hopes on a US work visa. Chased by Homeland Security, a deportation letter deflates Nadia's enthusiasm and a pair of spike heels might be all it takes to burst her American Dream (or turn it into a nightmare). New York City, with its special energy, seems like the perfect solution for her problems, but is it really? Luckily, Nadia is not alone in her journey: A Russian illegal immigrant, Borat, her fellow clown, tries to find his own path in the Big Apple. Lupita, her Latina roommate, an exotic dancer and wanna-be actress, shows Nadia the tough side of the city. Meanwhile, Bob, an American washed-up musician finds himself in a relationship with the Moldovan girl.
