About this Event
A Great Wave - An Immigration Tale
This original play written by Tom Block, a Queens resident, will be presented as a dramatic reading.
Directed by Brenda Jones.
Set in 1892 in NYC - the play focuses on Jurgen Kocherhin and his family who emigrated from Europe, were processed in the receiving hall at Ellis Island before arriving at their final destination, College Point.
