with Brian D. Coats, Zoë Sophia Garcia, Annie Henk, Bobby Plasencia, Jacob Alden Roa, Gerardo Rodriguez, Sheila Tapia
Commissioned by Working Theater in 2011, LA RUTA, by Ed Cardona, Jr., directed by Tamilla Woodard, is an immersive theatrical experience that follows the journey of several undocumented immigrants as they cross the border into the U.S. to make a better life for themselves and their family. The play is staged inside the trailer and cab of an actual 48′ truck with the audience experiencing the journey alongside the characters, surrounded by the harsh reality of their environment and the poignant narrative unfolding within.
The play toured the Five Boroughs of New York City. A photographic installation by the Magnum Foundation accompanied the production.
