PIPELINE at Horizon Theatre is POWERFUL!!
Emotions. All over the place emotions. If you have ever gave a darn about anyone in your life, you would be able to relate to this play. If you have ever felt at the end of your rope and that you would give your last breath to save someone, you will be able to relate to this play. Dominique covers the controversial topic of the pipeline between school to prison for a lot of people (young men specifically) of color.
So much can go on inside of a person and you would never know until they snap and quite frankly, this is partially what happened to the young man in this play. There were things going on on the inside of him that he could not express it properly and things explode from there.
The actors in the play were so talented that they had me seriously thinking about how something could have gone for some people rather close to me had someone not intervened.
About the play:
In Dominique Morisseau’s Pipeline, Nya Joseph is a dedicated, inner-city public high school teacher who is committed to her students’ achievement, while she sends her only son, Omari, to a private boarding school. When Omari is involved in a controversial incident which threatens him with expulsion from his school, Nya is forced to reconcile Omari’s actions, her own parental decisions, and the public and private school systems, as she rallies to save her son.
Listen. Listen to one another. Hear them. Love them and maybe, just maybe it would not be as many negative things going on in the world.
This is Pipeline’s last week and it will be missed, just like all of the other plays at Horizon Theatre.
