Griffin Theatre Company
True stories. Shared struggles. An inspiring journey through America’s immigrant roots. Written by William Massolia and directed by Dorothy Milne, In To America brings U.S. history off the textbook page and onto the stage. Drawn from personal diaries, letters, and oral histories, this moving play illuminates the experiences of ordinary people whose courage and sacrifice helped shape a nation.
In just 65 minutes, a dynamic cast of 11 actors masterfully transitions between dozens of roles, creating a deeply human portrait of resilience. It’s a powerful, educational, and highly engaging theatrical experience that will leave your students asking what it truly means to be an American. Perfect for U.S. History, Social Studies, and Drama classes.
