The Public Theater celebrated the opening night of the world premiere play Public Charge on Wednesday evening, welcoming a range of political leaders and theater artists to mark the occasion. See photos of the event.

The play is co-written by former U.S. Ambassador Julissa Reynoso and Michael J. Chepiga and draws from Reynoso’s experiences working for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The Public Theater celebrated the opening night of the world premiere play Public Charge on Wednesday evening, welcoming a range of political leaders and theater artists to mark the occasion. See photos of the event.

Clinton attended the opening and offered remarks in support of the production. “When I read the first draft of my friend Julissa Reynoso's play Public Charge, I knew it deserved a wide audience. It's a uniquely American story about how our country is made by and better for immigrants, and why all of it is very much worth fighting for.”

Also in attendance was Jill Biden, who previously worked with Reynoso when she served as her Chief of Staff. Additional guests included Deborah Ann Woll, Ana Navarro, Tim Blake Nelson, Steven Pasquale, Phillipa Soo, Quiara Alegría Hudes, Heather Lind, Jerry Zaks, Joe Tapper, and Board Chair Luis A. Miranda Jr., among others.

Public Charge traces Reynoso’s journey from immigrating to the United States from the Dominican Republic as a child to her work as a diplomat in the early twenty-first century. The play follows her transition from a Wall Street law career to supervising Caribbean and Central American Affairs, addressing international crises including humanitarian aid efforts in Haiti, immigration policy challenges, espionage concerns, and negotiations to free a detained American in Cuba.

The production is directed by Tony Award winner Doug Hughes.

The cast of Public Charge includes Marinda Anderson as Cheryl Mills, Nate Betancourt, Maggie Bofill, John J. Concado, Dan Domingues, Zabryna Guevara as Julissa Reynoso, Yesenia Iglesias, Paco Lozano, Deirdre Madigan, Nairoby Otero, Armando Riesco, and Al Rodrigo.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Sounds like an excreble "play" only libtards would love.

Get a load of AI's overview...(and this is cobbled from reviews written by liberals)

"Key Takeaways:

A "Homework" Feel: The play often feels like "homework," focusing heavily on diplomatic negotiations that can make it feel, in some views, slow.

Documentary Focus: Some critics felt it was more of a documentary piece, resulting in a loss of momentum, especially in the final act, according to a review on Instagram.

"Wonk" Appeal: Those with an interest in policy or international relations may find it rewarding, but it is described by the New York Theatre Guide as a "mostly dry, straightforward" work, say Theatre Reviews Limited.

The only theater with Hellary in it that I would ever go to is the one in which she and her husband star as one-time rope testers.

Their never-ending attempts to shore up this dimwit is so tiresome and transparent.

Dr. Jill Biden?

Point of order #1: Except for physicians, holders of doctorates are only called “doctors” while in their professional settings. Certainly not when they’re at some entertainment event.

Point of order #2: A doctorate in Education (as Jill Biden has) is the easiest doctorate you can “earn”. Write whatever comes to mind. Add in a few shaky pieces of data. Collect your doctorate.

The Ed.D makes you “shovel ready” for academic administration. In that lies many problems we see today!

Yep. I spent decades teaching in an urban public school district. The best principals in my experience came up through the ranks. They had degrees in real subjects, like Business or English.

The worst ones usually had little teaching experience, and EdD degrees. Here’s one particularly bad thing about that degree. It gives its holder a false sense of superiority.

A holder of an MD degree is an expert in something. A holder of an EdD degree is an expert in nothing.

Agree!
I once dated a teacher who was writing her master’s thesis for master’s in Ed. She had me read her drafts. Data?? We don’t need no stinking data for conclusions!

Needs an editor.

Jill’s Secret Service agent likely shot himself so he wouldn’t have to attend with her.

I’d rather go see “Springtime for Hitler”.

Roger Debris can sure do a nice musical! (one, two, step, kick, one, two, step, kick).

Hillary’s going to be the Democrat nominee unless God intervenes.
The Epstein bruhaha was her debut and she pulled it off in flying colors.
She’s getting coverage in the media & keeping herself in the limelight.
Be very afraid.
