A one-night-only benefit play reading. All proceeds from this event will go directly to The New York Immigrant Family Unity Project. In partnership with the Center at West Park

This event will be hosted in the Chapel of St. Paul & St. Andrew.

In 4,000 DOLLARS, one woman spends all of her money in one day. It’s the summer of 2024. Student loan forgiveness has been canceled. A latte costs $7. Cofinity—a bootleg New York State health insurance—considers a pelvic ultrasound “cosmetic” and therefore declines to cover it. Mary-Louise ends her day in debt. The downward spiral of financial loss is realized on stage in the physical form of a boxing ring.

100% of ticket proceeds directly support New Yorkers detained and facing deportation who cannot afford an attorney.

All proceeds from this event will go directly to The New York Immigrant Family Unity Project. (NYIFUP) is the nation's first public defender system for immigrants facing deportation, providing free, high-quality legal representation to detained, low-income individuals in NYC and nearby areas. Founded in 2014, this coalition includes The Legal Aid Society, The Bronx Defenders, and Brooklyn Defender Services.
