Cheer Story of a Dreamer
August 1-11, 2019
Potrero Stage
¡CHEER! Story of a Dreamer is a two-act play that follows the life a young woman named Erica Chavez, head cheerleader and all-star student at her high school. In Act One, which takes place during the Obama years, Erica discovers she is undocumented while applying for college. Eventually, she becomes a DACA recipient and in the second act the play picks up in the Trump era with Erica now a student at UC Berkeley. While Erica has some assurance of safety because of her DACA status, her family does not. Her sister and mother share their stories and, ultimately, in a surprise ending that manages to deliver the shock and impact of what living under these conditions truly means, are arrested by ICE agents and deported. The play is funny and entertaining, while at the same time being tragic and heart-breaking; with its over-all power being that of taking audiences into a place that most people don’t get to see in public spaces, and only hear about – homes where the stress of being undocumented and living in the shadows is real and terrifying.
