| Show Info | Two families, old immigrants from Italy and new immigrants from Puerto Rico, share a yard in rural Long Island in 1960 — the year of Kennedy, Hurricane Donna, and Roberto Clemente — a yard separated by culture, language, history, and an old apple tree. Is friendship possible in this world? And what hand will fate play when the deadly hurricane rages through the land? Join us in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. |
