In post-9/11 Newark, NJ, two teenagers brought to America as children now face an impossible question: what are they willing to risk for a future in the only country they’ve ever known? These two DREAMers and lifelong friends will fight like hell to establish a place for themselves and each other in America. But as time hurtles on and complications mount, each must reckon with the sacrifices it will take in order to find a place to call home.

Review: SANCTUARY CITY is a Powerful, Poignant Immigrant Story at NEXT ACT
September 29, 2025 To have these lives reflected in art — on stage, now, reaching for empathy in a world that needs it more than ever — is a bright spot. That this story might resonate with someone unexpected — change a mind, affect a heart — is the whole point.About the Theatre
