FUNdraising Concert for show "Manuel versus the Statue of Liberty" Saturday March 21st 7-8:30pm

PA3 is pleased to cooperate with playwright Noemi de la Puente *86.  
Noemi, based in Princeton, 
has written a play "Manuel vs the Statue of Liberty",
Inspired by the true story of a Princeton Undergrad (Class of '06) who was an illegal immigrant and got a Rhodes scholarship to study Ancient Literature. The Statue of Liberty is revamping her image. Manuel wants to be a teacher. Thrown into the ring, they fight it out – who is more American? What is American anyway? Latin music and American pop, rock, and gospel infuse the score. No one is spared in this zany political comedy that pulls no punches (pun intended) about immigration.

We hope to organize a PA3 event with Noemi this July.  Watch this space!

Musical Reading: MANUEL VERSUS THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
In the meantime, Noemi's musician friends Tom and Doug (www.tomanddoug.com) will host a FUNdraising concert on Saturday, March 21st from 7 - 8:30 PM at the Arts Council of Princeton Pop Up Studio at the Princeton Shopping Center.
