The People’s Theatre Project (PTP) presents a reading of a work-in-process showing of The Diamond.
The Diamond, an interactive show that explores the nuances and complexities of the immigrant experience in three acts. It follows a nation’s first Afro-Latina president and her all-female cabinet as they travel through time. Compiled from three original PTP plays, Las Mariposas, Somos Más, and Doña Mañana, The Diamond celebrates the resilience and humanity of immigrants to the United States.
