True stories. Shared struggles. An inspiring look at America's immigrant roots.

Written by William Massolia and directed by Dorothy Milne, In To America traces the true stories of immigrants who risked everything for a new life. Drawn from personal diaries, letters, journals, and oral histories, this extraordinary play 400 years in the making brings to life the men, women, and children whose experiences shaped a nation. In only 90 minutes, a cast 13 veteran actors deliver a human portrait of hope, hardship, and what it really means to be an American.
