Critical Response

“We have been doing cultural engagement programming for the past ten years and without question nothing has been more impactful than Layer the Walls.”
— Timothy G. Hart, Dir. Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission
The girls were enthralled by how the stories were told. The “human-ness” of immigration stories came to life through the emotions of the actors on the stage which has been harder to teach in class.

The artistry and craftsmanship of Layer the Walls will captivate your audiences. This show highlights the stories of immigrants and makes them accessible through all forms of puppetry. We can’t wait to bring this show back for our community.
