VLTC’s mission is to open the minds of their audiences to Latinx struggles and perseverance through theatre.  Based on Helen Thorpe’s bestselling book, this documentary-style play follows four Latina teenage girls in Denver—two of whom are documented and two who are not—through young adulthood. Their close-knit friendships begin to unravel when immigration status dictates the girls’ opportunities, or lack thereof. When a political firestorm arises, each girl’s future becomes increasingly complicated. Just Like Us poses difficult, yet essential questions about what makes us American.  Playwright Karen Zacarias- interviewed in 2013 describes the importance of writing this piece:  “I am a Mexican immigrant myself, and I am a straight-A student like these girls,” says Zacarias. “And this is a story I don’t see on stage, the story of the good girls, the story of the hardworking families, the story of not the gangs and the barrio and all of that, but the story of millions and millions of people who are in this country just working and trying to get through every day.” Artistic Director Xavier Custodio helms his fifth production at VLTC featuring Flavia Pallozzi (Helen Thorpe), Emily Morales-Cabrera (Marisela), Jocelyn Sanchez (Yadira), Daniela Martinez (Clara), Aiszah Maria Rangel (Elissa/Zulema), Johnny Garcia (Fabian, Tom Tancredo, Recruiter, Cezar Mesquita, Carlos, Federico Peña, and Cop), Ana Santos (Josefa, Mrs. Smith, Carol Vizzi, and Lisa Martinez), Yajaira Custodio (Yolanda, Ana, Cynthia Poundstone, Lucy, and Business Woman, and Dylan Cruz (Julio, Ramiro, and Mike McGarry) The creative team for Just Like Us includes Xavier Custodio (Director), Nicholas Schwartz (Scenic Designer), Cristan Solis (Sound Designer), Conchita Avitia (Lighting Designer), Yajaira Custodio (Costume Designer, Associate Artistic Director), Flavia Pallozzi ( Associate Artistic Director)
