545 is inspired by the 2020 events of the 545 migrant children who were separated from their families by the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy and have yet to be reunited with their parents. 545 explores the hardship of two young sisters, Luli and Oli, who are separated from their mother and held in custody on the border, as they struggle to find hope in the darkest of places. 545 was originally commissioned for Portland Playhouse's Wonderland Festival of New Works and made into a short film during the pandemic. This staged reading of 545 features a new updated script for LineStorm Playwrights and the Fertile Ground Festival and will mark the first time it is being presented on stage.
