Pico Playhouse (Los Angeles, CA)
A young European Jew, fleeing the pogroms of Czarist Russia in 1909, gets off the boat at Galveston and pushes his banana cart into the tiny Baptist town of Hamilton, Texas. What follows is his story, a uniquely American saga of struggle, faith, hope and ultimate triumph over adversity. Immensely popular as a straight play in the 1980s, this musical version features a breathtaking score of power and beauty. The story is based on the experiences of bookwriter Mark Harelik’s grandparents, Haskell and Leah Harelik, who, when they arrived, were the only Jews in Hamilton.
