Houses on the Moon Theater Company

I really enjoyed the play De Novo (a production of Houses on the Moon Theater Company), which I saw over Mother’s Day weekend last month.  The show ran from April 28 through May 16 at 59 E. 59th Street Theatre, a very small space with no assigned seating.

De Novo is about an illegal teenage immigrant seeking asylum in the United States, and the court process that unfolds.  It’s a true story, based on transcripts from real court documents of Edgar Chocoy-Guzman, and about his quest to seek asylum from deportation.

“De novo” means “to start anew” or “refresh.”  [click to continue…]
