Story teller Pippa White presents Voices from Ellis Island as part of the Martha-Ellen Tye Performing Arts Institute Youth Matinee Series.

Pippa White's one-woman show brings to live a full cast of characters. Travel with Pippa to Ellis Island, the Gateway to America... the front door to freedom... the Island of Tears.

From 1890 to 1030, Ellis Island offered a vivid and teeming introduction to life in America for millions of immigrants. Their stories are amusing, frightening, inspiring, and true.

Recommended for grades 4-12.
