SANCTUARY CITY
By Martyna Majok
MARCH 6 - MARCH 22, 2025
Sanctuary City by Pulitzer Prize-winner Martyna Majok is an intensely moving tale set in 2001 Newark, NJ, where two teenagers, brought to America as children, grapple with an impossible choice: what are they willing to risk to stay in the only home they've ever known? As they navigate the tender moments of coming-of-age, they must confront the harsh realities that threaten their dreams. A powerful exploration of love, sacrifice, and resilience, Sanctuary City transcends time and memory, offering a poignant look at the struggles and hopes of those seeking a place to belong.
