This production, directed by high school senior Eliza Keenan, is based on four personal visual immigration stories created by artists David Macaulay, Frances Jetter, James McMullan and Yuyi Morales and featured in the current exhibition Finding Home: Four Artists’ Stories. These stories are woven with Berkshire County Immigrant Stories collected over the last six months in Berkshire County, MA to connect themes from the exhibition with real stories from the community surrounding the Museum. To set the stage, the show begins with a video portrait of Norman Rockwell’s process for creating the painting, the Golden Rule. The artist and Berkshire Immigrant Stories follow, and the show concludes with an original song by student Fiora Laina.
