Liberty Scrap

In Liberty Scrap, an original play by Christina Masciotti, cash is tight, and the goings are tough, but Katya has managed to eke out a living in a scrap metal warehouse by day, and as an artist by night, fashioning sculptures out of debris. When her Uzbek father falls ill, she attempts to return home to care for him, only to discover her dubious immigration status is much more dangerous than she ever imagined, threatening to keep her separated from her family forever.

Liberty Scrap is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and, in part, with public funds from the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts.

Liberty Scrap has been developed with support from Waterwell Theater, The Chocolate Factory Theater, The Mercury Store, and United Stateless.
