Yearning To Breathe Free
An Immigration Play
by January M. Akselrad

Target Grades: 2nd - 4th
Genre: American History (Immigration)
Cast: 20+
Time: 40-45 minutes

Music: One song  (CD or MP3, Performance Tracks, lyrics and lead sheet included) 

Summary:
       “Give us your tired your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”. These words, found on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, were often the first inscribed words seen by immigrants coming to this country.  Yearning to Breathe Free follows the dramatized stories of seven immigrant families as they begin a new life in America.  The play ends with students having the opportunity to share their own immigration history.

 Price: $19.95  (includes licensing fee)

"...Having seen many of her plays performed by students, I can definitively say that Ms. Akselrad knows of what she writes.  Her original plays are imaginative, engaging and delightful.  Following her lead, one can certainly be assured of a successful, educational and fun-filled experience!"
Dr. Miriam Westheimer,  Program Director
Teachers College, Columbia University
