“Building the Wall”

Directed by BST board member Brent Buell, this gripping political thriller imagines the consequences of anti-immigration policies in the aftermath of a national crisis. Set inside a Texas prison, the play follows a historian’s interview with a former federal prison administrator awaiting sentencing for his role in a devastating tragedy.

Tense and thought-provoking, Building the Wall examines power, responsibility, and the fragility of democratic institutions, challenging audiences to consider how fear shapes policy and how ordinary people become complicit in extraordinary events.
