This year, UC Santa Cruz’s Theater Arts Program of the Department of Performance, Play & Design and the Cultural Arts and Diversity Resource Center presents Pipeline, written by Dominique Morrisseau. This production will be directed by CADrc’s Artistic Director Donald Williams.
Nya, an inner-city public high school teacher, is committed to her students but desperate to give her only son Omari opportunities they’ll never have. When a controversial incident at his upstate 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 lyricism, Pipeline brings an urgent conversation powerfully to the fore. Morisseau pens a deeply moving story of a mother’s fight to give her son a future– without turning her back on the community that made him who he is. |
