Trial by Jury: A Case of Deportation at The Broad Stage

This participatory theater program examines the conflicting mandates of contemporary immigration policy and the precepts of constitutional freedoms. Part of the Trial by Jury series, the event features a short film dramatizing a deportation trial, followed by a live audience debate about the case and its underlying issues. Should cherished rights and liberties be extended to non-citizens residing in the United States, and if so, do those rights supersede the ideological imperatives of political power? Ultimately, you, the audience vote to affirm or renounce existing immigration policy. Weigh in when A Case of Deportation comes to the Broad Stage in Santa Monica.
