This summer, Lincoln Center Theater will stage Dominique Morisseau鈥檚 Pipeline, directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz. The playwright鈥檚 newest work looks at the relationship between an inner-city public high school teacher and her only son.
Pipeline will begin previews June 15 ahead of a July 10 opening in the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater.
Here鈥檚 how LCT outlines the play: 鈥淚n Dominique Morisseau鈥檚 Pipeline, Nya Joseph is a dedicated, inner-city public high school teacher who is committed to her students' achievement, while she sends her only son, Omari, to a private boarding school.
