Premiere Screening
Barrio Stories: The Documentary
Barrio Stories was a ground breaking project that garnered national attention using theatre as a method for heritage preservation. Over 4000 Tucsonans experienced it. Now Filmmaker, Haldun Morgan, captures key moments from tech rehearsals to final performance, interviews with artists, Barrio Libre residents, scholars, and attendees.
The event opens with the premiere screening of the Sonoran Shadows documentary by filmmaker Piper Weinberg. This 9 minute short goes behind the scenes as Borderlands Theater puppeteers bring to life the local stories author Patricia Preciado Martin through the magic of Shadow Puppetry.
Post screening talkback with filmmakers. Also updates on the current Barrio Stories in Barrio Anita project, set to run in April 2018.
Generously sponsored by UA Mexican American Studies Department and UA Guerrero Student Center.

Building the Wall
Written by Robert Schekkan
Directed by Marc David Pinate
September 27 - Octover 15
Cabaret Theater, Temple of Music and Art 330 S. Scott Ave
NNPN Rolling World Premiere of Building the Wall - The newest play by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan(The Kentucky Cycle, All the Way, Hacksaw Ridge), directed by Marc David Pinate. It's the very near future, and the Trump administration has carried out his campaign promise to round up and detain millions of immigrants. Now, a writer interviews the supervisor of a private prison as he awaits sentencing for carrying out the federal policy that has escalated into the unimaginable. This riveting, harrowing and illuminating drama delivers a powerful warning and puts a human face on the inhuman, revealing how when personal accountability is denied, what seems inconceivable becomes inevitable.
Building the Wall will be produced at Borderlands Theater as part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other partnering theaters are The Fountain Theatre (CA), City Theatre (FL), Curious Theatre (CO), and Forum Theatre (DC), with support from Paul Prokop. For more information please visit nnpn.org.
