ABOUT THE SHOW

Sometimes we travel to escape; sometimes to discover who we are. Wherever we go, we carry with us the essence of ourselves, but breathing air from a different land can illuminate something new within us. And for those of us with a connection to multiple places, being in a distant country can feel like the melody from a once-forgotten song or the scent from a long-ago memory. Join us for a night of stories hopscotching across the globe, from Guatemala to Iran to Taiwan - whether these countries are familiar or foreign to you, the stories will meet you wherever you are.

Stranger in a Familiar Land is presented as part of 2nd Story’s “Point of View” programming. Given the nature of 2nd Story's work and the diversity of artists we collaborate with, we have the unique opportunity to build community among and share the stories of marginalized groups by building teams for our shows that share a particular point of view. It is an honor to be a conduit for these collaborations. Stranger in a Familiar Land is focused on experiences of Immigration and Citizenship, and this show is created and produced entirely by a team of folks who are immigrants, children of immigrants, undocumented folks, DACA recipients, folks from colonized territories, or those with other meaningful experiences with immigration and citizenship, especially in relationship to the United States. 

2nd Story’s “Point of View” programming is supported by the Walder Foundation.
