PART OF THE PRODUCING ARTISTS LABORATORY SERIES
Audience members may see more vigorous artistic risk-taking in these Lab productions. From their first year to graduation, the Lab is a space for our student artists to practice their craft.
The Spring Lab in 2025 will feature first-year MFA directors and designers working alongside second-year MFA actors for the first time.
Mother of Exiles
In 1898 California, a pregnant Eddie Loi faces deportation. In 1998 Miami, her grandson Braulio accidentally summons her spirit while patrolling the border. In 2063 somewhere on the ocean, their descendants try to survive the climate crisis. An epic multigenerational tale of sacrifice, love and survival that spans 150 years in 90 minutes.
