Only Place I Belong
by M. Can Yasar
August 3 and 4 at 7:00 PM
Musical numbers paired with stories of love, identity, and belonging from the life of a foreigner searching for a home, following his dreams in New York City. In a rebellious attempt to offer one's truest self to the world, a family, and a mother, we search for freedom and love in unexpected places. But we soon discover that at the end of every journey, we're suddenly standing in the middle of the next.
