RESERVE TICKETS HERE
In Theatre Battery’s workshop production of Alma (or #nowall) by Benjamin Benne, the audience is invited into the home of an undocumented immigrant, and her 17-year-old daughter. Over the course of an hour-twenty, we get to watch in real-time as petty squabbles and family drama unfold, but with the added tension of a broken immigration system and political turmoil looming over the piece like a specter. It’s an honest and moving production that frequently dips into moments of surrealism and humor. This play is relevant. It is resonant. And it will move you.
The show runs through September 1st @ Kent Station and tickets are available for online reservation and walk-ups AT NO COST. That’s right. Theatre Battery practices Radical Hospitality and believes that cost should not be a barrier for entry. So reserve your tickets, invite your friends and share a Lyft (although Seattle theatre patrons will be pleased by the ample parking onsite) and go see this show.
