Stories from the City of Immigrants is an evening of monologues curated from oral history collections that vividly bring to life the vital role immigrants play in New York City’s past, present and future. Poignant, funny, and surprising, these stories span 125 years and many countries of origin, creating a visceral experience of the epic journeys so many people have taken to make NYC their home. Hosted by actor Arian Moayed with music from women-led samba reggae drumline marching band Fogo Azul.
