Pramila Jayapal, a Washington State Senator and candidate for Congress, will lead a post-play discussion immediately following the Sunday, June 19, matinee performance of Sorry.

Pramila Jayapal's participation makes tangible this intimate, vital connection between the personal and the political, the local and the national.
