CRS/Villanova Theater Department Drama Project (Summer 2005)
With CRS scholarship support, three Villanova graduate theater students spent one week on the Arizona/Mexico border, interviewing migrants, ranchers, border patrol, human rights activists, parish priests and social ministers, etc. Drawing on their experience, the students wrote, produced, and performed "Line in the Sand: Stories from the U.S. Mexico Border," an hour-long production that tells the human and complex story of immigration. "Line in the Sand" has been performed for university, church, and community audiences in the Northeast, and it is now available on DVD. To order "The Line in the Sand" DVD, go to www.crs.org/dramaproject/dvd_order.cfm. To learn more about the "The Line in the Sand" drama project please visit www.crs.org/dramaproject.
