SAFE HARBOR
written by: Tira Palmquist
directed by: Anita Dashiell-Sparks
2019
Produced by Lower Depth Theatre and The Lagralane Group.
The first production of Lower Depth’s “Cycle of Violence” Commission Series, Safe Harbor offered a look into the multifaceted, dark, and tangled web of underground sex trafficking through the eyes of the victims, the survivors, and the people who love them the most.
What Sasha Jones wants more than anything else is to have her mother back - or maybe just to go to the mall. Mikayla Reese wants, someday, to go to space - or maybe find a home to call her own. They may never get what they want - not now, not ever- yet they cling to the impossible. Now, they find themselves in increasingly dangerous circumstances, making increasingly desperate choices, facing increasingly treacherous consequences. All they want is a safe harbor - but this dream isn't as easy - or as safe - as it seems.
“Huff Lee’s natural and non-fussy performance is one of the show’s strengths. Mason is also perversely engaging as the treacherous Jaz.”
