This production will take place on Thursday, June 7, 2018 at 7:30pm. "A must-see show!" - The New York Times A mesmerizing and shocking new play that simmers with of-the-moment urgency." - The Hollywood Reporter >From Pulitzer Prize and Tony® Award-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan (*All the Way, The Kentucky Cycle, Hacksaw Ridge*), comes the incendiary political thriller that is captivating audiences across the country. Written in “a white heat” fury following the November 2016 election, Schenkkan’s *Building the Wall* imagines a dystopia impacted by President Trump’s border and immigration policies. It’s the near future and millions of undocumented immigrants have been detained in overflowing prisons. Now, a writer interrogates the director of a private prison as he awaits sentencing for carrying out the federal policy that has escalated into the unimaginable. This riveting and illuminating drama delivers a powerful warning and puts a human face on the inhuman, revealing how, when personal accountability is denied, what seems inconceivable becomes inevitable. *Building the Wall* features renowned actors Scott C. Brown and Ieisha McIntire. Tickets for the June 7, 2018 performance at 7:30pm are $10.00 for non TLT Members, and FREE for those who are members.
