Living Voices: The New American (Immigration in the Early 20th Century)

March 20 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Discover the journey from steerage to Ellis Island to the sweatshops of New York City, through the experiences of one young Irish immigrant forced to seek a new American life on her own.

In the early 1900s, Bridget leaves the turmoil and poverty of Ireland for the promise of work and better opportunity in the United States, where she faces the challenges and discrimination of immigrant life on the road to citizenship.

Please join us to experience powerful, dynamic live performances, combined with archival film and sound, transforming history into a moving, personal journey.

Please note the performances on 3/20 are already near capacity; call ahead with expected attendance to confirm availability before scheduling transportation.
