Mother of Exiles at Local Lab
It’s one short month until Boulder CO’s premier festival of new American plays: Local Theater’s Local Lab. On March 15, they will stage a reading of Mother of Exiles to close out their festival. The play follows the Loi family’s journey through America across 200 years—as they are ushered along by the spirits of their ancestors. In 1898 California, a pregnant Eddie Loi faces deportation. In 1998 Miami, her grandson Braulio accidentally summons her spirit while patrolling the border. In 2098 somewhere on the ocean, their descendants try to survive.
