Those familiar with A Public Fit know that the Vegas-based theatrical company doesn't shy away from serious social issues (exhibit A: its last play, the excellent Indecent). Its current offering, Pipeline, gets its name from what’s commonly referred to as the school-to-prison pipeline that sees so many young men of color incarcerated. The main character, Nya, a Black teacher in an inner-city school and single mother to a teenage son, Omari, is trying to maintain both her middle-class status and integrity within her community. The playwright, Dominique Morriseau, also is unafraid of difficult conversations that occasionally point fingers at main characters you’d normally empathize with. Directed by Jason Nious, who is no stranger to Morrisseau’s work (Skeleton Crew).
