Rowing to America: The Immigrant Project

Directed by Sarah Rowse, Senior Language Arts Education and Theater minor at WSC, Rowing to America is a collection of nine one-act plays on the immigration, emigration and migration experience. Written by a culturally diverse group of writers dealing with culturally diverse characters, these sometimes comic, sometimes tragic and poetic pieces cut to the heart of the immigration issue and provide an excellent opportunity to exercise the talents of a multicultural cast.
