During the presidential election of 1936, Doremus Jessup, a small town newspaper editor, observes with dismay that many of the people he knows support the candidacy of the demagogue Berzelius Windrip.

A nominal enrollment fee of $300 is charged per/student for the two-week program, with limited scholarships and reduced rates for households with multiple children available. All classes and performances are set to take place at Saratoga Arts located at 320 Broadway in Saratoga Springs, NY.

Our young people will examine the crucial role immigration played in the development of this country and its contemporary impact on our nation. As we confront the question, “What are our families’ ties to this land?”, we consider why that is such a challenging subject for some. In eliciting the origins of their forebears, workshop participants reflect on how and why so many people were compelled to leave (or forcibly removed from) their ancestral homes to make a new life in America. We’ll consider the challenges they faced in resettlement. And because sci-fi and history are essential elements of the iTheatre Saratoga brand, we will look into an uncertain future, at scenarios that would trigger our expulsion, and imagine the future for an American diaspora. Through a series of writing assignments and improv, workshop participants will compose and rehearse scenes and monologues to be showcased as the second part of the evening’s entertainment.

Additionally, students will perform as part of our concert reading of the new musical EVERY OTHER THURSDAY. Helmi Seppala is a Finnish maid working for the Mawson family on New York's Upper West Side in 1927. She has one day off, every other Thursday. When the Mawsons' ask Helmi to change her plans, she refuses, leading to conflict and confusion in the household, and an exploration of the importance of cultural heritage to an immigrant population.
