Sanctuary City

Note to our patrons: Sanctuary City runs in repertory with Our Town. As a result, showtimes and performance dates are nonstandard.

Unfolding beneath the glow of porch lights and the promise of close‑knit streets, two teenagers cling to each other for safety, for love, for hope. Childhood friends B and G — undocumented and unseen — watch that promise fray when one earns a path to citizenship and the other is left untethered and exposed. What begins as a pact of loyalty slowly fractures under the weight of adult consequences.

Pulitzer Prize winner Martyna Majok’s Sanctuary City asks the question: In a nation built on the promise of opportunity, how do we determine who benefits? Where once belonging was measured by front‑porch waves and neighborhood gatherings, today it hinges on paperwork and the threat of separation – or possibly far worse.

Visceral, poetic, and unflinching, this award‑winning play asks: who gets to belong, and what does it cost to try? A story of borders — visible and invisible — that divide us all.

“I have rarely seen a play that so effectively embodies the way external forces, in this case, immigration policies in the United States—distort the inner lives of actual humans. What love is, and can ever mean, is lost in the muddle between the heart and the law.” — The New York Times
