Alex Alpharaoh’s one-man show “Wet: A DACAmented Journey” chronicles his own adventures as an undocumented American. He was brought to the U.S. when he was just two months old and grew up without documentation or citizenship. When the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was started by President Obama in 2012, Alpharaoh was a beneficiary. Then the Trump administration announced that it planned to rescind the program.
