These four short plays were commissioned by New York City Players and were written by writers from Ivory Coast, the Dominican Republic, Russia, and India. Immigration Stories is the third production of New York City Players’ Incoming Theater Division, a program that provides creative time and space for immigrant New Yorkers to develop their stories into performance and fosters an artistic community. This work grew out of curricula developed by Tory Vazquez and Caitlin Gleason for The Kitchen’s on-going education programs at Liberty High School for Newcomers.

Made possible by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation New York Theater Program and public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. New York City Players’ general operating support provided by the Howard Gilman Foundation.

A piano recital featuring only the page turner. A radio program hot on the trail of a whistleblower hiding in plain view of the audience. Radio Delirio imagines a clas­sical concert taken over by the man no one was even meant to notice.
