American Side Efectos at The Edge Off-Broadway

Rescripted - Highly Recommended

"...But most of all, American Side Efectos is a show about patriotism; the fact that the performance will run over Fourth of July weekend is not a coincidence. The show opens with Debbie's mother expressing an enthusiastic patriotism and love for the United States - a sentiment that I recognize from stories of first-generation Jewish immigrants in my own family. Many immigrants to America form a sense of patriotism out of the stark contrast of their own life experience; after a life of war and violence in El Salvador, Mrs. Banos can only be grateful for the relative stability and safety provided by this new country."
