BORDER CROSSING THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD
ABOUT THE SHOW
Ursula tells the journey of Nadia, a resilient 7-year old, separated from her mother seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border. Detained in the name of national security, Nadia waits for her asylum to be processed, makes friends with the detainees, and creates a support system among the girls. Featuring puppets, movement and music composed by Armando Monsivais, Ursula will take audiences through the mind of a child crossing the US-Mexico border.

TESTIMONIES
“I had heard about the immigration detention centers, but this play touched on it in a deeper level and did it in a profound way.”
“The fact that it was just the actress playing all the roles and the dolls represented her friends, made me think of the loneliness and imagination of a child in those conditions.”
“The play was excellent. I was very touched and wish I could have brought all my grandkids. The actress was excellent, and I very much enjoyed the discussion afterward. I’m very glad that I stayed for that also.”
