Overview
HOW DO YOU FIND FRIENDSHIP IN A NEW WORLD?
In this heartfelt comedic drama set in the backdrop of the ’70s, two recent immigrants, Jane and Luna, cross paths in a grocery store on Thanksgiving. Over wine and a somewhat-questionable frozen turkey, they share laughs, tears, and their American dreams—disco dancing, learning to drive, visiting Disneyland—and discover a kinship that transcends cultural barriers. Filled with the hope and promise of new beginnings, the pair forge a bond from their shared experience of loneliness in a new country.
Written with tenderness by award-winning playwright and Guggenheim Fellow Lloyd Suh, this touching narrative explores the immigrant experience with humor and compassion, posing the poignant question: what does it mean to truly call a place home?
Director of this production, Miranda Cornell comes to Stages with many recent accolades including her work as Associate Director of The Outsiders – winner of 4 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Direction of Musical for Danya Taymor – currently running at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on Broadway.
