Summary
“Pipeline confirms Dominique Morisseau’s reputation as a playwright of piercing eloquence.” -Ben Brantley, New York Times
With profound compassion and lyricism, Morisseau brings us a powerful play that delves into the urgent issue of the “school-to-prison” pipeline that ensnares people of color. Issues of class, race, parenting, and education in America are brought to the frontlines, as we are left to question the systematic structures that ultimately trap underserved communities.
