In one Lower East Side tenement, 40 layers of wallpaper were found clinging to the walls—each piece applied by a new immigrant family. Using puppetry, masks, and live action, Layer the Walls tells the incredible stories held within each layer.  

  • An Irish father finds work building the Brooklyn Bridge
  • Italian brothers survive the Great Blizzard of 1888
  • Russian Jewish girls join the 1909 Garment Workers’ Strike

Running time is 60 minutes with no intermission. The show is followed by an optional talk-back and puppetry demonstration.
