Encore production of Lee Osorio's "Prisontown" in partnership with the Eugene O'Neill Foundation.
When the Writer is compelled by an unshakeable force to return to his hometown of Lumpkin, Georgia, he unknowingly begins a journey of faith that will cause him to question the foundations he’s built his life on. A once-thriving community, Lumpkin is today kept alive by one of the nation's largest and most notorious federal immigration detention centers. As he digs deeper, he is forced to reckon with his own past as a queer, Latine son of an immigrant, and the costs of extraction. In this 90-minute, one-actor performance, the Writer tells his origin story with powerful simplicity, using wit, nuance, humor, and compassion to reflect on the people trapped in this prison town, the past lives he could have lived, and the heartbreaking reality of the America we all live in today.
