School of Theater and The Mason Players present select scenes from Just Like Us directed by Esteban Marmolejo-Suarez. Just Like Us, by Karen Zacarías, is based on Helen Thorpe’s bestselling book which follows four Mexican teens living in Denver, two of whom are documented and two who are not, through young adulthood.
