Additional Materials
ALMA
SYNOPSIS:
Alma is a working mom and undocumented immigrant from Mexico; she has
single-handedly raised her daughter, Angel, on tough love, home-cooked
comida, and lots of prayers. A sacrifice from Alma’s past weighs heavy
on their present; will the American Dream cost them a life together? Set
in the uncertainty of 2016, Alma is a mother-daughter story of
heritage, healing, and hope.
SEEKING:
ALMA (she/her), age 34. an undocumented immigrant from Mexico living in the United States, mother (but also kind of a sister)
ANGEL (she/her), age 17. a United States citizen, a high school senior with acute anxiety
TOPDOG/UNDERDOG
SYNOPSIS:
Topdog/Underdog is a darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family
identity. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2002 and the Tony
Award for Best Revival in 2023, Topdog/Underdog is a landmark in the
American Theatre Canon and marks the first Broadway script to ever be
produced on the Passage stage.
SEEKING:
LINCOLN, the Topdog, a Black Man in his late 30s
BOOTH (aka 3-Card), the Underdog, a Black Man in his early 30s
