About the play: Like millions of Americans, Clara’s days are consumed with juggling work and family. Recently divorced, she’s taking care of her tween-age daughter, her aging father – and paying alimony to her under-employed ex-husband. But in the midst of all that stress, she’s got something to look forward to: a long planned for trip to Europe with her daughter Stella.  In preparation, Clara, who immigrated to the US with her family as a child, decides to apply for full citizenship. She wants to be able to stand in the same customs line as Stella.  But when her citizenship application is flagged, it sets off an unfathomable series of events that threaten to force her out of the only home she’s ever known.  Timely and provocative, Hundreds and Hundreds of Stars asks challenging questions about our country’s most fundamental values.
