Immigrants, The Musical! (Part One) was a mainstage show at The Institution Theater which explored the stories of immigrants into the United States through the cast.
Summary
Every immigrant story is different, but similar. The journey here, the confrontations, the communities that get formed, the many ways a name can get mispronounced, the homemade lunches that look different from every other kids school lunch. Every day is a story of their straddling that line between American assimilation and maintaining a cultural identity. It’s a balancing act that gets passed down from generation to generation.
