Don’t miss this special presentation of The Courtroom: A Reenactment of One Woman’s Deportation Proceedings, an urgent docu-drama created from real-life transcripts of deportation trial, arranged by Arian Moayed.

The story centers on Elizabeth Keathley, a Filipina immigrant who entered the United States on a K-3 visa to live with her husband. After inadvertently checking “yes” on a driver’s license form, she was registered to vote, and participated in a midterm congressional election in violation of US election law. When the mistake was discovered at her citizenship hearings, the Department of Homeland Security ordered her deportation. The transcripts from a Chicago immigration court all the way to the US Court of Appeals present an unflinching look at the American immigration system—and one woman at its mercy.

Set inside an actual courtroom, this production places the audience in the role of a jury, asking them to consider whether justice was truly served. In an era of sweeping immigration crackdowns, The Courtroom brings the stakes of the legal system into sharp focus.
