The Journal of Ben Uchida: Citizen 13559
Seattle Children's Theatre
201 Thomas St, Seattle
"I was born here. I'm from here. I'm American." Witness the story of 12-year-old Ben Uchida, a Japanese-American boy whose life is changed forever following the World War II attack on Pearl Harbor. When the U.S. government forces Japanese-American citizens into internment camps, Ben and his family must face difficult truths about the idea of home. One young person's struggle to understand a society allowing mass discrimination against its citizens poses questions as urgent today as they were in the past. The Journal of Ben Uchida: Citizen 13559 takes a thoughtful look at moments that shaped the American experience, taking care to address even the most sensitive issues. The play serves as a reminder to audience members of all ages never to accept such injustice. Relive this chapter in history at Seattle Children's Theatre - Eve Alvord Theatre.
