How many were there? At least 200,000 but maybe as many as 500,000. Fending for themselves on the streets of New York, homeless children were given a chance for a new life in America’s heartland by riding the orphan train. Orphans who remember the experience come to life and share a heartrending and forgotten part of history. In this one-woman show, Pippa White portrays the story of many different characters. Please note: running time is 75 minutes.
Ticket orders accepted after 7:30 a.m., April 16. Absolutely no orders will be accepted prior to that time.
