Follow on Google News | New Jersey Repertory Company presents "Summer in Sanctuary," An Explosive New Play by Al LetsonAn autobiographical piece, written & performed by Al Letson, a gifted nationally known performance poet & host of NPR's “State of the Re:Union,” told through monologue, poetry, song and multimedia.
The title refers to “Sanctuary,” The kids that he was supposed to “instruct” Most would have fled, but much to Letson’s credit he stayed put and dug in his heels, recognizing that although the painful journey that he was about to embark upon would test his character to the extreme, he could emerge with his compassion and ideals burnished and strengthened by reality. With poetry, music and videos “Summer in Sanctuary” takes the audience on an intimate journey with Letson into the dark and wavering soul of America where redemption is still possible.
