Friends and 'Strangers,' Looking at America Through Different Prisms

christopher oscar peña

christopher oscar peña's play The Strangers takes a look at America through different lenses. How can friends, neighbors and even family see the same world in very different ways? It's question communities across the country are asking, and it's a key question posed in peña's play. He spoke recently with WUOT's Brandon Hollingsworth.

Language Advisory: In this extended version of the interview, Mr. Peña refers to recent political commentary about immigrants "coming from s**thole countries." This phrase has been bleeped.
