At Liberty Hall follows two high school students who’ve just moved to New Jersey: Cristian Rosario, a funny but unfocused teenager from Queens by way of the Dominican Republic; and Alexander Hamilton, 16, the subject of Cristian’s 10th grade history project. This time-bending story finds common threads of humor, honor and awkwardness as told through the experiences of a someday-Founding Father and a kid looking for a way out of the projects.

An exceptionally witty and deliciously dry satire that explores the effects on Clybourne Park’s 1950’s all-white community when a couple unknowingly sells their house to a black family. The tables of gentrification turn when, fifty years later, the now all black community greets the news of an impending sale to a white family with the same level of apprehension.
