THE IMMIGRANT, subtitled "A Hamilton County Album", is a true story about two Eastern European Jews who immigrated to a small Texas town in 1909. Inspired by his grandmother's photo album, Harelik tells the story of two out of the thousands of Jewish immigrants who ended up in the American Southwest through an immigrant resettlement program.
"THE IMMIGRANT received a
well-deserved standing ovation on opening night at the Mark Taper
Forum...superb."
Pros, Variety
"A lovely and loving
evening of theater. Harelik's story is tender and touching"
Ed Kaufman, Hollywood
Reporter
"A funny new play by a new U S
A playwright. The scenes evoke the rural era with the
firm-handed clarity of a Jewish Horton Foote...they glow."
