Season
Lampedusa
by Anders Lustgarten
September 13-14, 19-20-27-28 at 7 pm
On the CTC Riverfront Patio
In this brave, bold, and moving play, a Sicilian fisherman who makes his living salvaging the bodies of migrants, and a young woman working as a debt collector confront the dehumanizing aspects of their jobs while finding hope and connection across cultural divides.
​
Lampedusa is an important play that brings to light the struggles of refugees immigrating to Europe. Inspired by this, the theater is excited to help support the Women's Refugee Care (@womensrefugee) organization!
​
When you come to see Lampedusa, please consider bringing any of the items you see on the organization's wishlist and we will happily donate them to the cause! Most importantly we are specifically looking for a donation of pens!
Please consider helping us support Women's Refugee Care!
