Living Voices brings stories of immigration, Klondike gold rush to Jones Theatre

Award-winning educational theatre company, Living Voices, will present two programs in Jones Theatre this week.

“The New American” explores a 15-year-old Irish girl’s journey to the US in 1910 and the challenges of American life for new immigrants near the turn of the century. It will be presented Thursday, Oct. 12, at 7:30 p.m.

“Klondike: The Last Adventure” follows a young woman whose dreams of riches and a better life lead her to join a worldwide stampede for Alaskan gold in the 1890s. It will be presented Saturday, Oct. 14, at 2 p.m.

Using archival film and photos as the backdrop to dynamic storytelling, featuring actor Rachael McClinton, Living Voices seamlessly integrates live performance with fascinating images and realistic sound effects.
