The Detention Lottery: An Immersive Theater Experience
"Some immersive theater promises high stakes, but The Detention Lottery actually delivers. Written by local playwright and retired immigration attorney Margaret O’Donnell, this gripping production places audiences inside an immigration courtroom where life-altering decisions are made in minutes and detainees face the system with little preparation or support. It’s a sobering experience that pairs urgent scenes with stark realism to reveal how quickly futures can be decided." - Langston Thomas, The Everout
The post-show talkback with practicing immigration attorneys offers closure, community building, and opportunities for action.
Admission is free; donations appreciated and benefit Riverton Park UMC Migrant Support Program.
