Peregrine Theatre Company is thrilled to announce the first show of their 2026 season, Pillow Fortress by Aysha Zackria, directed by Jaida Gillespie. Pillow Fortress runs from March 5th to March 22nd at Theatre on the Run in Arlington, VA.
Pillow Fortress follows three college classmates after they receive an alert that someone has just escaped the local jail. Chelsea has a penchant for the law. Ry advocates for prison abolition. Jordan is just scared shitless. They try to prepare for what might happen if they encounter the escapee, but find out they need to face each other first. Pillow Fortress is part polemic, part slumber party, and all chaos.
This production is the kickoff to Peregrine’s inaugural season highlighting an original play from a local emerging playwright and working with a majority BIPOC team of incredibly talented early-career artists.
“With a focus that ranges from daring original work to timely plays that fly under the radar, we at Peregrine Theatre Company aim to create a platform for fresh perspectives and promote excellence in early-career theatre artists.”
