a gripping dive into real-world politics!

Tony Award winning director Doug Hughes takes the helm for this fascinating autobiographical play in the world of politics, debuting at the Public Theater next Spring. Telling the true story of United States Ambassador Julissa Reynoso's life as a diplomat, and co-written by award winner Michael J Chepiga, Public Charge is a gripping dive into real-world politics.

What Is The Story?

From her arrival in the US from the Dominican Republic at age 8, Julissa Reynoso had an inner drive that few people possess. Leaving her law firm in 2009 to take up a job with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, Reynoso must learn the ropes of high-stakes diplomacy - and fast. Following her journey through espionage crises, distribution of aid to Haiti following the devastating earthquake, and freeing wrongly held prisoners, Reynoso strives to deal with the weight of public office.
