“Stories of Jackson Heights” questions the current immigration system in the US and depicts the trials and tribulations of a South Asian family caught in the throes of a harrowing immigration experience. The play is set in Jackson Heights, Queens, well known for its diversity and cosmopolitanism and therefore could very well be your story, my story, any community’s story. Theatre reaches an enhanced level of relevance when it showcases issues and problems of our present times. This theatre will provide an experience that will make you think, ponder, and hopefully enable you to take action in a meaningful manner.
