By Talene Monahon
Directed by Loretta Greco
A co-production with The Huntington
West Coast premiere
Peet’s Theatre

In the 1920s, an Armenian American man wages a quiet legal battle for the right to belong. A century later, a group of Armenian Americans wage a different type of battle on the set of his descendant’s reality television show. Talene Monahon’s boldly imaginative new play stitches together historical drama and scorching satire in what The New York Times calls “wildly funny” and “pure entertainment.” At once hilarious and haunting, Meet the Cartozians exposes a little-known chapter of American history while asking a question that refuses to stay in the past: Who gets to be American, and at what cost?
