The Immigrant

Grab your tickets for Hamilton…Texas, where Russian-Jewish immigrant Haskell Harelik settles into America at the turn of the century. Unable to speak English, the outsider pulls his banana cart through the staunch Christian community begging for shelter. Over the course of 30 years, this tiny town becomes the home for his young family as religion meets religion, culture meets culture, fear meets fear, and love meets love. A timely play based on the true story of Haskell Harelik, the author’s grandfather of the same name.
