Drama3m, 3f Simple Set When Zell Preston inherits her father's
struggling pecan farm and moves back to her childhood home in
Fronteras, New Mexico, she fi nds that the once tight-knit border
community has changed radically. The government has cracked down on
the undocumented immigrant population, dividing families and
pitting neighbor against neighbor. Chuy Gallegos, foreman at the
Preston farm for 30 years, wants the piece of land he says Zell's
father promised him long ago. Ines Sandoval and her sister Angie
Zelaya lobby for the return of their recently deported aunt.
Angie's husband Carl Zelaya defends to his community and family his
choice to work for the Border Patrol. And Cooper Daniels,
industrial pecan grower and head of a civilian border surveillance
group, forges ahead with a volunteer-built fence. These forces
collide in Ground, which examines the human costs of immigration
policies, and the strength of personal beliefs about family, home,
and civil rights in the face of a shifting political and social
landscape.
GROUND premiered at the 2010 Humana Festival of New American
Plays."Breathtaking in every way." -- Charles Whaley,
TotalTheater.com..".Tackles the hot-button issue of illegal
immigration." -- David Shreward, Back Stage"The hot-button topic of
controlling illegal immigration is presented in a highly personal
context, so that the characters make choices based on distinct and
individual motivations that are well delineated in the writing. It
is an engrossing drama..." - Keith Waits, Theatre Louisville
