“Pipeline” Performance
February 24, 2019 @ 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm
$60Pipeline is a tale about hope and second chances.
Synopsis
Nya, an inner-city public high school teacher, is committed to her students, but desperate to give her only son, Omari, opportunities her students will never have. When a controversial incident at his private school threatens to get him expelled, Nya must confront his rage and her own choices as a parent. But will she be able to reach him before a world beyond her control pulls him away? With profound compassion and poetry, Dominique Morisseau’s Pipeline brings to light parents’ fears, the state of our public school system, and the prison pipeline that claims so many of our inner city youth in an era of mass incarceration.
