Performing SB1070 Short-Play Festival: Build a Wall

Presented by New Carpa Theater at Arizona State University - West Campus

March 30, 2011

Comment on Facebook

The purpose of this short-play festival is to highlight the effects of a series of state-based immigration-related legislation enacted or proposed in Arizona over the past decade, culminating in the signing of SB 1070 by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on April 23, 2010. This is a non-partisan, grassroots, community-based theater project designed to provide theater and performance artists an opportunity to express their views on one of the most compelling human and civil rights issues of our time.

This performance at Arizona State West is part of the 8th Annual Border Justice Event.
