“Sanctuary City is a gorgeously directed and acted mosaic of lived experiences” – Portland Mercury
In Sanctuary City by Pulitzer Prize winner Martyna Majok (Cost of Living), two young friends navigate the complexities of adolescence through their tender, joyful, and spirited connection — all while living the realities of being undocumented immigrants in America, the only country they know as home. Poignant, timely, and highly theatrical, Sanctuary City illuminates the triumphs, challenges, and deep personal resilience of young DREAMers as they fight to establish a place for themselves and each other, and for the right to fully join the world in which they live.
