My latest exhibition, Treading the Borders: Immigration and the American Stage, will be open at Houghton Library from September 4 through December 15. It derives from the truism that must of the richness and vitality of the performing arts in the United States derives from creative talent originating elsewhere. To that end, the exhibition explores how successive waves of immigration transformed the American stage, highlighting the virtuosity and resilience of a diverse group of actors, artists, and entertainers from the colonial era to the present day.
