The Gilded Cage: Immersive Theater, Immigration, and Social Justice

In this Spotlight session, David Feiner shares reflections from Albany Park Theater Project and Third Rail Projects' eight-year journey with Port of Entry, an immersive performance built from the real-life stories of immigrants and refugees during a time of rising xenophobia. The session explores the possibilities — and challenges — of immersive theater as a vehicle for promoting connection and civic engagement. The session concludes with a Q&A moderated by Maya Ibars, Supervising Attorney of the Pro Bono Program at Americans for Immigrant Justice, bringing a vital legal and advocacy perspective into conversation with the artistic one.
