In one Lower East Side tenement, forty 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 Part II tells the incredible stories held within these layers.  

*A Chinese father swims across the Hudson River to save his family 

*A Teen Holocaust survivor finds refuge in NYC

*Puerto Rican cousins become involved with the Young Lords' fight for healthcare justice

The performance runs approximately 70 minutes. Families are invited to a talk back with members of the cast and creative team following the performance.
