97 Orchard Street
The Night Before
Captains Courageous
Kate and Maggie Fox, 10- and 12-year-old sisters, lived in a small farmhouse in upstate New York in 1848. They could make loud knocking noises with their toes – so cleverly that no one could see how they were doing it.
As a prank, they convinced their parents there were ghosts in the house. Word spread, and soon people from all over the town were coming to the house to talk to the “spirits.”
With the help of their older sister Leah, the Fox sisters invented the séance, and Spiritualism was born.
​
This is a true story.
97 Orchard Street is about the assimilation of Russian Jews who came to America at the end of the 19th Century. It is adapted from Abraham Cahan's "Yekl: A Tale of the New York Ghetto" (1896), which portrays immigrants in the tenements on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and the choices they make as they come to terms with a new life in America.
​
The score of the show evokes the musical style of these immigrants, set against what was being played and sung elsewhere in America at the time. The later fusion of these styles created the foundation of uniquely American music.
​
Based on the MGM movie with Spencer Tracy, this is a coming-of-age story set in the world of the great New England sailing ships. In 1928, a millionaire’s pampered son falls off an ocean liner and is rescued by a Portuguese fisherman, who teaches him the virtue of hard work and a new way of life.
