27 Days is an original play written by 18 year old Talia Hankin, a New Paradigm Theatre youth board member, from Newtown, CT. It centers around an undocumented husband and father of two young daughters, who suddenly discovers that he is being deported in 27 days. The play explores the pitfalls of the immigration and deportation systems and how those systems affect both immigrants and U.S. citizens. It also asks the question: What would you do if you had 27 days to leave your home, to leave the life you have built, to leave your family, friends, and community behind?
