WINNER 2015 NYC Venus/Adonis Theater Festival, BEST DIRECTOR and 2nd Place BEST PLAY. FringeNYC 2016 “Top 10 Plays to See”

After eight years in Afghanistan, Sergeant Cooper visits his childhood sweetheart, Kate, in Zuccotti Park, ground zero for the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City. It’s October 2011 and people from all walks of life have left their homes, families and jobs to protest income inequality. A family buying their first home, a student with debt who can’t find a job, and a homeless veteran without medical benefits show us the human side of economics and what it means to be We the People.
