Sanctuary City @ Seattle Rep (Seattle Center)
Winter, 2001, Newark, NJ. Two DREAMers — pre-DACA — meet up on the fire escape, which happens most nights. Both undocumented teens, they grapple with life’s challenges, from family to their futures. When one becomes naturalized, she promises to marry the other so he can receive his papers and truly start his life. As time passes and their relationship shifts, both must confront what they are willing to sacrifice to live freely and belong. This searing and captivating new play by a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright asks what we’re willing to risk for those we love.
