Like Hamilton, Angels in America, and The Vagina Monoloques, a
powerful, poliltically charged drama that speaks directly to the
present moment-the dawn of the Trump era and the implications of
his anti-immigration rhetoric turned into policy. Publication is
part of a nationwide event, with the play going into production
instantly and opening in a National New Play Network Rolling World
Premiere in five theaters across the country: Fountain Theatre in
LA (3/18/17) Curious Theater in Denver (4/4/17) Forum Theater in
Washington, DC, 4/27-5/7, moving to its Silver Springs, MD, stage
5/18 Borderlands Theater in Tucson (February 2018) City Theatre in
Miami (9/27-10/8/17) Other theaters that aren't part of the NNPN
will also stage the play, including: Adobe Rose Theater in Santa Fe
(date TK) New World Stages in New York City (previews starting
5/12/17; opening 5/21/17) The play and its nationwide rolling
premiere have garnered a NY Times article and it will receive much
more publicity after each opening:

Robert Schenkkan is the real deal: winner of the Pulitzer Prize for
Drama and a Tony Award for Best Play, he is the author of All the
Way, which was made into the movie starring Bryan Cranston, and
co-screenwriterof Hacksaw Ridge; he is extremely well-connected
culturally and in the media and has a practiced stage presence.
Dystopian fiction is immensely popular now, and the dystopian
premise of this play addresses the national mood. Includes essays
from three noted historians on: the real purpose of the border
wall, our dark history of restictionism in immigration, and the
tradition of political protest in the arts for the last century.
