The Courtroom follows the story of a Philippines immigrant whose removal proceeding was set in motion after they married a U.S. Citizen while on a visa, inadvertently registered to vote, and then participated in the next election.

Waterwell will produce one performance of the show each month throughout the season with a rotating cast. The following performance of The Courtroom will be held November 21 at Center at West Park with a company to be announced.
