“ An absorbing theatrical experience, that allows you to experience laughter, anger, inspiration, and hope all in one.” — Broadway World
Take in an afternoon performance of The Peculiar Patriot at the nationally recognized Detroit Public Theatre in its new building in the heart of Midtown. Inspired by her decades-long work with prison populations, including on the notorious Rikers Island. Liza Jessie Peterson’s timely and urgent one-person show unpacks the human impact of mass incarceration in America. Fearlessly funny, smart and provocative, The Peculiar Patriot traces the migration of systematic injustice from the plantation to the prison yard. Written and performed by the incomparable Ms. Peterson — the tour de force solo piece is an important, comedic, and profound investigative look into America’s criminal justice system.
