This paper addresses a timely and controversial subject: the migration of Mexicans across the national border into the United States. Drama serves as the vehicle to explore a multiplicity of stories on the border. In Boxcar, five men cross the border in a boxcar. Dramatic representation juxtaposes the discourses of the newly arrived with that of an immigrant border-control officer. Here the discussion of human rights is intrinsically linked to the reevaluation of identity and to a reassessment of one’s commitment to national policies. Similarly, in Nowhere on the Border dramatic representation serves to humanize a conflict that is often viewed through the prism of economics and politics. Here a Mexican is detained by a Minuteman and theatrical representation serves the purpose of juxtaposing discourses to reveal that difference is relative and that the nature of national identity is a complex albeit fluid construct.
