Augusta and Noble (Play)

Augusta and Noble tells the story of Gabi Castillo, a fourteen-year-old Mexican American girl in Chicago who has just been accepted to Northside College Prep, a highly-competitive school on the other side of town. In order to get to her new school, Gabi must travel a long, complicated journey across the city. Just as Gabi begins her journey, her dad must travel back home through the desert to Mexico because his father is sick. Through their shared journeys, Gabi discovers how her parents came to live in Chicago and the difficulties they survived to create a better life for their children. Gabi's dreams come to life as her curiosity about where she comes from gets stronger through her new classes.

In collaboration with CEVSS, different areas from the Common Book, "Spare Parts" will be highlighted in conjunction with individuals who pursue U.S. citizenship and legal immigration status through military service.
