A Public Fit Theatre Company Staged Reading
"Pipeline" by Dominique Morisseau
Friday, January 26
7:00pm - 9:30pm
A Public Fit Theatre Company (APF) second staged reading is Dominique Morisseau's "Pipeline," directed by Jason Nious ("The Piano Lesson;" "Skeleton Crew"). Reading takes place in the Main Theater.
SYNOPSIS: Dominique Morisseau's "Pipeline" follows Nya, an inner-city, public-school teacher, who will do anything to ensure that her brilliant-but-headstrong son, Omar, will not fall victim to the pervasive "school-to-prison" pipeline. Crackling with raw emotion, poetic urban dialogue and a shockingly relevant narrative, "Pipeline" confronts the social dynamics of race, class and systemic violence in the American education system.
Following the staged reading, APF artists will continue the conversation with The Buzzz, an interactive discussion between the production cast/crew and the audience.
Free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and may be limited. For more information, please call 702.507.3459.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
