proudly present the world premiere of

A new musical about the American Dream

TAKE ME AMERICA
"It's not a story. It's my life."

Book and Lyrics by Bill Nabel
Music by Bob Christianson

Follow nine refugees in their quest for asylum in the US and the three INS agents who decide their fate. Do they stay or do they go? How would YOU decide? Get it wrong and you might as well sentence them to death…or worse. Inspired by true stories from the documentary Well-Founded Fear. They are stories of life and death; real, sometimes humorous, but always compelling.
