The creative team includes set designer Duane Pagano, lighting designer Diana Duecker, sound designer David Margolin Lawson, costume designer Brenna McShane, and stage manager Lisa Stafford.

In Detained, Doug and Maria, teenagers from different lands, forge an alliance to help each other's families survive incarceration and escape deportation. In the face of oppression and humiliation, the teenagers unite against a deeply fractured system in their fight for freedom.
