The two-person political suspense thriller will feature two stars of the screen and stage: James Badge Dale (Small Engine Repair, The Pacific, “Rubicon”, The Departed) and Tamara Tunie (Julius Caesar, “Law & Order: SVU”, The Devil’s Advocate) and will be directed by Ari Edelson(Artistic Director of the Exchange; Little Black Dress, Expats).

In a time when shocking campaign rhetoric turns into real policies, Building the Wall urgently reveals the power of theater to question who we are and where we might be going.
