Robert Schenkkan's BUILDING THE WALL Extends at Fountain Theatre
The world premiere of BUILDING THE WALL has extended through June 18.
The Fountain Theatre premieres the newest play by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan (The Kentucky Cycle, All the Way, Hacksaw Ridge), the first in a series of productions set to take place at theaters across the U.S. as part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere.
In the very near future, the Trump administration has carried out his campaign promise to round up and detain millions of immigrants. As a college professor interviews the former supervisor of a private prison, it becomes clear how federal policy has escalated to a terrifying, seemingly inconceivable, yet inevitable conclusion.
Written by Robert Schenkkan and directed by Michael Michetti, BUILDING THE WALL stars Bo Foxworth and Judith Moreland. The show is produced by Simon Levy, Stephen Sachs and Deborah Lawlor, with executive producers Karen Kondazian, Barbara Herman and Susan Stockel, and presented by The Fountain Theatre.
