Sanctuary City by Martyna Majok

Sanctuary City by Martyna Majok

It's prom night in early 2000s Newark. Boy bands aren't dead. Neither is hope.
Two undocumented teenagers navigate love, friendship, and an impossible plan in post-9/11 America. When G becomes naturalized, she and B hatch a scheme so he can legally stay in the country and both pursue the future they imagine.

Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Martyna Majok (Cost of Living), Sanctuary City is a powerful exploration of what it means to find home in an uncertain world.
