About Pipeline:

When he is threatened with expulsion from his upstate, private school, she must confront his rage and her own parenting choices. A lyrical play by Dominique Morisseau praised by the NY Times for “piercing eloquence” about “family struggling to outrun social prophecy.”

Reviews
“Pipeline is an emotionally harrowing, ethically ambiguous drama that raises barbed questions about class, race, parental duty, and the state of American education.”
— Variety
“…impactful…fresh and smart…[an] intriguing new American drama.”
— The Huffington Post
“If Dominique Morisseau wasn’t already established as one of the most exciting theatre voices that have emerged in this young century, 'Pipeline' should surely confirm that status.”
