Posted By Jennifer Hendrix



Jennifer worked with students in the Migrant Leaders Club to create original dramatic material about their experiences working in the fields and coping with the trauma that US immigration policy inflicts on families like theirs. In the spring of 2019, she compiled the script and directed the performance to a sold-out house at the Lincoln Theatre in Mount Vernon, Washington.

Set: replica of the border wall between the United States and Mexico

Climactic scene: performers dismantle the wall

Curtain call: standing ovation from the audience
