A new American Revolutions play from the writer of Destiny of Desire
Based on the true history of “orphan trains” that transported immigrant children (mostly Irish) to homes in the West, this world-premiere play explores the events that led to the sensational (and now-forgotten) “Trial of the Century” custody case that stirred the nation into a frenzied debate about children, law, race, class and religion. Directed by Shariffa Ali, The Copper Children takes a sharp look at the collision of good intentions and despicable behavior, blending humor, tragedy, joy and unsentimental social commentary.
Extended through July 22 due to popular demand!
Pricing:
$15 for an on-demand ticket, good for 48 hours. Tickets are available anytime during the show’s run (July 2–July 22). You can view the show anytime within 48 hours after purchasing your ticket.
