New York Premiere. Told through monologue, song, poetry, and multimedia, this autobiographical piece by performance poet/playwright Al Letson challenges perceptions about race and class, as he recounts his struggles to connect with the disadvantaged children of the Sanctuary in Jacksonville, Florida. Summer In Sanctuary will take you into the heart of a community and leave you with a better understanding of the world. Rob Urbinati, who helmed Foggy Bottom and The President and Her Mistress in our 2006/2007 season, is back to direct this funny, poignant, and ultimately inspiring piece of distinctly American theater.
