Pipeline
by Dominique Morisseau
Pipeline is a powerful drama that explores the challenges faced by a high school
teacher, Nya, as she navigates the systemic issues within the educational system and
her son Omari's struggles with being caught in the "school-to-prison pipeline." When
Omari is involved in a violent incident at his private school, Nya must confront her
fears about his future and the impact of his environment. The play delves into themes
of race, class, and the complexities of parental love and responsibility. It highlights
the difficult choices parents face in protecting their children while fighting against
larger social inequalities.
