 Street Theatre is proud to present "Building the Wall\\," Pulitzer Prize-
 winning playwright Robert Schenkkan's gripping and provocative psychologi
 cal drama\\, for a special four-performance engagement\\, August 20–23.
  Directed by Brent Buell and presented in partnership with Ripple Effect 
 Artists\\, this timely production explores the consequences of individual
  choices and the fragile boundaries between duty\\, morality\\, and compl
 icity. Set in the aftermath of a national catastrophe\\, "Building the Wa
 ll" follows Gloria\\, a historian who is granted access to a federal pris
 on to interview Rick\\, a former prison administrator awaiting sentencing
  for his role in a devastating tragedy. What begins as a routine intervie
 w gradually evolves into a riveting psychological confrontation\\, reveal
 ing how a series of seemingly ordinary decisions can accumulate into extr
 aordinary consequences. As Rick recounts the choices that brought him to 
 this moment\\, the play asks audiences to consider how history is shapedâ
 €”not only by those in positions of power\\, but by the countless individ
 uals whose actions\\, large and small\\, determine the course of events. 
 Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for "The Kentucky Cycle\\," Robert Schenkkan
  is one of America's most celebrated contemporary playwrights. In "Buildi
 ng the Wall\\," he crafts an intimate\\, edge-of-your-seat drama that com
 bines the tension of a thriller with the emotional depth of a character s
 tudy\\, inviting audiences to wrestle with enduring questions about respo
 nsibility\\, conscience\\, fear\\, and the cost of remaining silent. The 
 production stars Cecily Lyn Benjamin as Gloria and Austin Lightning Carro
 thers as Rick. It is directed by Brent Buell\\, whose decade directing th
 eatre in New York's maximum-security prisons with Rehabilitation Through 
 the Arts inspired the acclaimed A24 film "Sing Sing." Presented in partne
 rship with Ripple Effect Artists\\, an Actor's Equity 501(c)(3) theatre c
 ompany dedicated to creating social impact through transformative theatre
 \\, "Building the Wall" continues Bridge Street Theatre's commitment to p
 resenting bold\\, compelling contemporary works that inspire conversation
  long after the curtain falls. Performances: August 20–23\\, 2026Thursd
 ay–Saturday at 7:00 PMSunday at 2:00 PM Tickets: Adults $30 • Student
 s $25 For tickets and additional information\\, visit bridgest.org/buildi
