Premiered by the Minneapolis Children's Theatre Company in 2006, 'Anon(ymous)' tells the tale of Anon, a young Southeast Asian refugee who embarks on a journey to a new life in the United States. After surviving a
boat wreck and being swept ashore, Anon travels across America, bouncing from one absurd situation to another and meeting wild characters -- some friendly, some frightening. He must rely on his instinct, resilience and humor to survive.

Rich in wit as well as political poignancy, 'Anon(ymous)' confronts a highly debated social issue. "The question of immigration is one of the most singularly polarizing topics in America today," said director Richard Hess.

"It is a topic about which most Americans have strong opinions. I hear voices urging a closing of our borders, arguing about the disintegration of America due to the influx of refugees and immigrants, both legal and illegal. I hear other voices urging amnesty and acceptance."

CCM presents 'Anon(ymous)' as part of a continuing effort to present meaningful new works to which both students and audiences can relate.

Continued Hess, "Whether by fate, luck, circumstance or chance, many in America are living lives that parallel our hero Anon in their search for identity on our shores and their struggle to make this country home."
