Read the story behind the story in the Providence Journal: AS220 play is a journey of self-discovery for Russian-Jewish immigrant

This original play, making its New York debut, captures a Kiev family’s agonizing decision in 1976 to flee the Soviet Union for the United States. Based on the life of playwright Bena Shklyanoy, “How Many Bushels Am I Worth?” marks close to five decades of Soviet-Jewish immigration to America.

The event, which opened in 2018 to critical acclaim in Chicago, is produced by AppleDoesNotFall.com and FirstHand Theatrical, a Rhode Island-based theater company. Tickets are $30 each. For more information visit appledoesnotfall.com/plays/.
