Pipeline at Mile Square Theatre
Mile Square Theatre, Hudson County’s leading professional theatre,
presents Pipeline, by Dominique Morisseau, directed by Kevin R.
Free, from September 13 through October 6, with shows at 3 and 8 p.m. The drama
stars Malikha Mallette (Daredevil, House of Cards).
Nya, an inner-city public high school teacher, is committed to her students, but desperate to give her only son Omari opportunities they’ll never have. When a controversial incident at his upstate private school threatens to get him expelled, Nya must confront his rage and her own choices as a parent.
Variety says, “Pipeline is an emotionally
harrowing, ethically ambiguous drama that raises barbed questions about class,
race, parental duty and the state of American education.”
