Sanctuary City

by Martyna Majok
Directed by Bryan Hagelin

October 5 at 6 pm
Metro Baptist Church
410 West 40th Street

Sanctuary City tells the story of two childhood friends brought to America as children who become one another’s sanctuaries. This play by Pulitzer Prize-winner Martyna Majok explores the intricacies of friendship and immigration against the backdrop of post-911 America. A reading of the play will be accompanied by a full meal (BYOB) and live music, followed by a discussion about crossing borders & the immigrant experience in the US.
