WET: A DACAmented Journey at ArtsEmerson

WET: A DACAmented Journey is a true story of what it means to be an American in every sense of the word except one: on paper. Written and performed by Alex Alpharaoh—an award-winning actor, director, spoken word artist and teaching artist—who knows firsthand the emotional and psychological hardship of this unending process; he risks his own freedom to share his story in this nationwide tour. WET rockets between hilarity and heartbreak to capture one man’s relentless journey toward becoming a documented citizen.


"Some actors get stage fright before a show. Alex Alpharaoh gets life fright. As an undocumented adult, he's aware of taking a risk every time he performs his autobiographically inspired one-man show."
