Resident Alien

Description

Resident Alien, a brand new musical by WCU’s own Katya Stanislavskaya, is the story of Sasha, Sveta, and Nastya Berdichevsky, a family in the throes of Russian/Soviet immigration in the 1990’s. A professor stuck in the past, a musician willing to adapt, and a teenager whose culture shock coincides with her coming-of-age, the Berdichevsky’s represent the full spectrum of the successes and failures of the immigrant experience. Resident Alien is about the personal choices we face in a new world: which parts of ourselves to retain, and which to jettison in order to succeed.
