Join our friends at National New Play Network for a reading of Jessica Huang’s play, Mother of Exiles. This work was originally slated to close Local Lab 2020 prior to the event’s cancellation due to COVID-19.

About the play: 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.
