Noemi de la Puente ’86’s play about an undocumented student at Princeton, Dan-el Padilla Peralta ’06, was shown between 21 and 27 July 2015 as part of the NY Musical Theater Festival, at the Signature Theater Center, 480 West 42nd Street. The show is discussed in PAW here. Padilla Peralta’s life and career so far are discussed in a lengthy article in The New York Times here. The show received great reviews from all attendees.
