The Refugees Tickets

"Clever and refreshingly honest.” -Zachary Stewart, -Theatermania

"Mr. Kaliski — wielding a deft mix of skepticism and whimsy, without getting too flighty or cynical — portrays both the issues at hand and the people divided over them as maddeningly complicated." - The New York Sun

"Movingly clear-sighted” -Thinking Theater NYC

Who do we let in?

In The Refugees, a jaded queen and her woke children struggle to answer that question, each side fiercely opposed over whether their prosperous realm should offer asylum to masses of immigrants displaced by climate change. With wild intrigue and a satirical bite, both sides go to dangerous lengths to justify their positions.

Set in an imagined world that blends Ancient Greek myth with the realities of today, The Refugees electrifies one of the most urgent issues of our time with humor, humanity, and a passionate appeal to the power of civic engagement.

The Refugees is written and directed by Stephen Kaliski (Gluten!, The Briefly Dead). The cast features Robert K. Benson (The Blacklist, New Amsterdam), Jonathan Nathaniel Dingle-El, Carolina Đỗ (Broadway's Grand Horizons and Linda Vista), Josue Guerrero, Lily Hilden, Suzanne Lenz (Silicon Valley on HBO), Jeremiah Maestas (Broadway’s Macbeth, dir.
