Directed by Jason Nious (The Piano Lesson; Skeleton Crew), APF’s second staged reading, Dominique Morisseau’s Pipeline, follows Nya, an inner-city, public-school teacher, who will do anything to ensure that her brilliant-but-headstrong son, Omar, will not fall victim to the pervasive “school-to-prison” pipeline. Crackling with raw emotion, poetic urban dialogue and a shockingly relevant narrative, Pipeline confronts the social dynamics of race, class and systemic violence in the American education system.
