A brother sings his sister to sleep with the tale of a glorious tree whose roots grow on both sides of a border… A pair of young lovers dance on their wedding night, then wade across the Río Grande hand-in-hand as their honeymoon… A precocious seven year-old in Jordan becomes an unconventional entrepreneur to pay for her family’s immigration… A nine year-old joins the guerrilla in El Salvador after the murder of his parents… A boat hurls two dozen immigrants across the Gulf of Mexico… A father and son rehearse new identities for a new life… So begin the epic quests of Home/Land. With its characteristic humanity, creativity, and optimism, the award-winning APTP ensemble brings to vivid theatrical life these stories of desire, risk, resilience, heroism, love, and hope – as immigrant families strive to stay together and make a better life in the land they’ve come to call home.

APTP is in residency at Eugene Field Park through the Chicago Park District’s Arts Partners in Residence Program.
