About The Immigrant (off-Broadway)
The Immigrant, based on the play of the same name, is the story of a young Jewish immigrant who fled the pogroms of Czarist Russia in 1909 and pushed his banana cart into the tiny Baptist community of Hamilton, Texas. Given shelter by a childless older couple, he sent for his wife, raised a family, and made this town his home.
A true story of parents and children, newcomers and natives, Christians and Jews, and the realization of the American Dream.
