City of Asylum/Pittsburgh provides sanctuary to writers in danger of persecution or death in their home countries. They have been in operation since 2004. In addition to hosting and supporting exiled writers, COA/P also engages creatively with the community.
Cynthia Croot – a writer, director, and humanitarian activist on the faculty at the University of Pittsburgh’s theater department – has made a unique response to this effort: she has devised a new play that stories of struggle, resilience, and hope: City of Asylum, gives voice to the work of COA/P’s exiled writers-in-residence, past and present – Israel Centeno (Venezuela), Huang Xiang (China), Khet Mar (Burma), and Horacio Castellanos Moya (El Salvador).
