Inspired by the playwright’s family history – and his grandmother’s photo album – this is the (mostly true) story of two Eastern European Jews who immigrated to a small Texas town in 1909. This is just one story among thousands of Jewish immigrants who ended up in the American Southwest through the Galveston Project. When Haskell ends up in Hamilton, Texas, he discovers that he is a stranger in a strange land as the town’s only Jew. He must struggle to hold onto or recapture his sense of culture, family and a place in the world. Harelik’s loving portrayal of his grandparents’ tale is a touching search for both personal and cultural roots. It is both funny and heartfelt.
