East West Players Theater for Youth presents Tam Tran Goes to Washington, an original play by Elizabeth Wong and directed by Rona Par. 

Tam Tran, a quiet UCLA senior who prefers life behind her camera, faces her biggest challenge yet. As an undocumented student, she unexpectedly becomes an activist alongside her outgoing best friend, Cinthya Felix. When Congress invites Tam to testify for the DREAM Act in Washington, DC, her world turns upside down.
Please be aware this play contains themes and dialogue around racism and deportation.
