terraNOVA Collective Presents Will Work For By Dacyl Acevedo
In Residence at IRT Theater: August 27- September 30, 2013
Unemployment and the adventure begins! On a journey into the unknown, Dacyl Acevedo has to dodge through booby-trapped interviews, face demons of her employment past, hold tight to her dream while surviving the economic crash. Will Work For is a farcical and satirical journey into the new world of work and tells of how one person is surviving.

"Dacyl is one of the most present actors I know. Her superb writing and skillful ability to inhabit the skin of so many different people are on full display during her one woman show. If you want to see what it means to truly connect with others then you need to see this show. Dacyl is clearly on top of her craft."
