The Audit and The American Dream

A double bill of two one-act plays.

The Audit by Lynda Crawford. A tax audit takes an unexpected turn when a former military veteran-turned-auditor meets an aging hippie songwriter with a chaotic lifestyle. What starts as a routine examination of finances soon becomes a deeply personal reckoning of choices, regrets, and surprising connections. Directed by Leigh Selting, the play stars Joel Ripka (Beyond the Sheet, The Aliens) and Disnie Sebastien (Amazon TV’s Fun With Disnie).

The American Dream by Juan Ramirez Jr. A hopeful immigrant named Corina makes her way across the US border with the help of a smuggler, Efren, only to discover she must pay more than expected for her freedom. It is a tense, timely drama that questions the cost of the American dream. The play is directed by Maria Mileaf and features performances by Juan Ramirez Jr. (Broadway of The Bronx) and Libe Barer (Carly Bowman in Sneaky Pete).
