Sanctuary City

Silverthorne Theater Company presents the first mainstage production of our 2026 summer season, Martyna Majok's Sanctuary City. Directed by Rose Schwietz Malla, performances will take place at the Mainstage Theater at Hampshire College in Amherst, from June 11th - 21st.

DREAMers. Love(r)s. Life-long friends. Negotiating the promise of safety and the weight of responsibility, they fight like hell to establish a place for themselves and each other in America. This unforgettable drama by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Martyna Majok (The Cost of Living) asks what we are willing to sacrifice for someone we love.

This production is made possible by the generous support of the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts, the Mass Cultural Council and the Amherst Cultural Council, Pelham Cultural Council, Hadley Cultural Council, and South Hadley Cultural Council, local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
