Two dreams. One law. No easy plays.
In the not-so-distant future, the state of Texas passes SB47, granting cities like Dallas the option to let residents police their own neighbors and deliver undocumented immigrants directly to ICE.
Against the backdrop of the public comment section of Dallas’s Special City Council meeting, Abi Walker finds Luis Diaz practicing basketball on her affluent neighborhood’s home court.
After a contentious first meeting, the two high school seniors realize they need each other: she’s shooting for a spot at UConn, the top women’s collegiate basketball team in the country, and he’s fighting for a pre-law scholarship to the University of Texas.
But a shocking revelation leaves them both questioning who they are—and what they care about in the first place.
A Romeo and Juliet with immigration reform, Home Court tells a story that's both timeless and frighteningly timely.
MEET THE ARTISTS
Tori Weddell is an Atlanta playwright and producer who believes that stories are the best thing about being stuck on this strange turning ball. She’s the founder of ATL Original Works, best known for its performing arts variety show at PushPush Arts, and serves as the Development Coordinator for Atlanta Fringe Festival. In 2023, she wrote, produced and directed an immersive one-act house party called An Evening with the Fitzgeralds based on the lives and legends of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald. Thank you to Elyzabeth Wilder for midwifing the birth of this play since its first draft in 2018.
