Suggestions to artists for improvements:
The program was very short. Perhaps a longer introduction to the subject matter. Some pictures of Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty in the background or a power point presentation before or after the play would have helped the students get a better idea of what the people went through when they got to America. The accents were good for adults but the students indicated that they couldn't understand the actors.
Please include any additional comments you care to make:
Very disappointing program
