The Parkville Project was a remarkable experience presented by the Bated Breathe Theatre Company! If you are in the Hartford area, you really should go see it. The play is on until this Sunday at the Playhouse on Park and more information can be found here. 

In February 2008, Bated Breath Theatre Company embarked on a journey of anthropological proportions to Parkville, Hartford.  Inspired by the vibrant history, the company interviewed local residents, business owners and seniors.  Their words are brought to life in this moving portrayal of the immigrant experience from 1930 to the present day. Weaving together original text, movement, music, puppetry and projection, The Parkville Project tells the story of an undocumented worker caught up in an Immigration Customs Enforcement raid in Hartford. As her life is thrown into relief, she is faced with tough choices, comic characters and enduring memories.
