Building The Wall at Curious Theatre Company

After taking a risk on an untested, firey play two years ago, the conversation on the US response to immigration looms larger than ever. The questions are more prescient. The impact more immediate. And the plays events have become all-too-close to reality. Curious has chosen to remount a revised version of this play to dive into one of the most pressing, polarizing issues facing our country today.In a dystopian tale that harkens George Orwells 1984 and the Nazi regime, Building the Wall is a terrifying and gripping exploration of what happens if we let fear win. After executive actions, an immigration round-up of unprecedented scale, and a declaration of martial law, Rick finds himself caught up as the frontman of the administrations edicts and loses his humanity.Each performance will be followed by a discussion on the issues featuring an expert from our social justice and immigration partners.
